Playing video games even tends to restore the ability and spirit of workers
Research revealed to reduce the sense of stress when working is to play video games. The findings suggest that workers who play video games briefly show a mood recovery rather than taking the usual rest periods.
"Playing video games even tends to restore the ability and spirit of workers, so that activity is appropriate to restore the mood associated with a person's stress level," said Doctoral at the University of Central Florida, Michael Rupp.
The study has been published in the journal Human Factors: Journal of Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, which states that this activity is beneficial to those who work in high and monotonous demands such as rescue agencies, health workers and office workers.
For the study, Rupp and his team provided work using a computer for a day to encourage cognitive fatigue in 66 participants and then given a five-minute break.
During the break, all participants are divided into two groups, one group playing a video game called Sushi Cat, while the other group just sits in the testing room without using their phone or computer.
After the trial period, the researchers measured the effect after the attendance of participants, such as stress levels, mood and cognitive performance.
Then two results were obtained from the study, the first in the group of workers who play games at rest stated that they are more relaxed when back to work after playing the game.
We have the participants work all day to finish a lot of work, and get them to rest for just a few minutes. The result, people who take a break by providing time for fun activities such as playing video gamelebih more excited again when back to work, "said Rupp.
On the other hand, those who rest by just sitting quietly report that they feel lackluster and feel no inspiration when returning to work.
"Essentially, workers should use their short breaks with activities they like like playing games or other fun things," he said.
