“…Hence, BPNT can offer a useful framework for the design of video game-based interventions to promote psychological wellbeing in these contexts (e.g., Woodall et al, 2014 ; Woods et al, 2017 ). Specifically, game designers hoping to create games which are targeted at helping people cope with difficult life experiences can include game elements which foster feelings of autonomy, competence, and relatedness.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the way many people live their lives. The increasing amount of time spent indoors and isolated during periods of lockdown has been accompanied by an increase in the time people spend playing video games. One such game which soared in popularity during the early stages of the pandemic was Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Through semi-structured interviews with players from different parts of the world, and using a theory-informed qualitative analysis, we document and examine players’ motivations and experiences playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons during the pandemic. Findings suggest that playing the game helped satisfy various psychological needs—autonomy, relatedness, and competence—as described by Self-Determination Theory. Conversely, players stopped playing the game when they found that their psychological needs were thwarted or better met through other activities. Our findings offer support that video games can offer psychological relief in stressful contexts by providing opportunities for people to satisfy key psychological needs. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Data on the magnitude of mental illnesses and associated factors among inmates in Ethiopia, in general and in the Amhara region in particular are scarce. The available studies either focused on specific type of mental illness or include inmates from a single correctional center and leave aside the role of rehabilitation service use in inmates’ mental illness. Therefore, the present study was conducted to look into the prevalence of mental illnesses and to examine the associated demographic, imprisonment related and rehabilitation service use related factors among inmates in Northwestern Ethiopia. The study employed cross-sectional, descriptive and explanatory research design where data was collected from 422 inmates from three randomly selected prisons. Inmates’ mental illness was assessed using the Self Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20). Frequency, percentage, bivariate and multiple logistic regressions were used to analyze the collected data. In the study it was revealed that 74.6% of the inmates in Northwestern Ethiopia have mental illnesses. Feeling unhappy, difficulty to play important role in life, headaches and bad sleep were experienced by majority of the respondents. Male inmates (AOR = 2.39, 95% CI = 1.07–5.37) and inmates who participate in the educational training services (AOR = 2.20, 95% CI = 1.36–3.55) were found to have higher chances of having mental illnesses. On the other hand, inmates who participate in life skill training programs (AOR = 0.45, 95% CI = 0.28–0.74) and inmates who participate in recreational and cultural activities (AOR = 0.26, 95% CI = 0.14–0.46) were found to have lower odds of developing mental illnesses. A high prevalence of mental illnesses among inmates was found in Northwestern Ethiopia and inmates’ participation in rehabilitation services were important correlates of their mental health. Thus, prison administrators and policy makers need to conduct large scale studies and develop tailored interventions that could reform the rehabilitation services provisions, including mental health service provisions.

“…Psychological well-being is the full achievement of one's psychological potential, where the individual can accept the strengths and weaknesses that exist in him, create beneficial relationships with others around him, have the ability to take decisions and be independent, able and competent to regulate the environment, have a purpose in life and feel able to go through developments in his life (Ryff, 1989). A psychologically healthy person has a positive attitude towards himself and others (Berzonsky & Cieciuch, 2016;Gupta, Etcoff, & Jaeger, 2016;Keyes, 1998;Woods, Hassan, & Breslin, 2017). However, it becomes a problem when there is a low psychological level of being in adolescents due to serving a prison sentence.…”

Data from the Indonesian Child Protection Commission said, from 2011 to the end of 2018, there were 11,116 children in Indonesia involved in criminal cases, various criminal cases committed by adolescents namely theft, drugs, abuse, immorality, and murder. The purpose of this study is to encompass epidemiological literature about the prevalence, risk factors, and psychological conditions of adolescents who commit crimes. The method used is a systematic process used to find literature about the causes of juvenile crime. The literature on these topics is summarized to provide an overview of these problems. The results found that too many teenagers which grow up in unhealthy circumstances, they are faced with many life challenges such as family, economy, and education that contribute to criminal behavior. It is hoped that this literature review will help community institutions, parents, and schools (school personnel: teachers, counselors) to improve arrangements for creating protection to minimize criminal cases in adolescents.
