“…Two validated and known questionnaires were used to construct the 'Pleasure and/or Happiness and VG' questionnaire through which the emotional states associated with VG activities were evaluated: the Snaith-Hamilton Pleasure Scale (SHAPS) (Snaith et al, 1995), an assessment tool of hedonic tone, and the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ) (Hills and Argyle, 2002). The French version of these two questionnaires was used (Loas et al, 1997;Bruchon-Schweitzer and Boujut, 2014).…”

Video Game Addiction and Emotional States: Possible Confusion Between Pleasure and Happiness?

Internet gaming disorder is characterized by a severely reduced control over gaming, resulting in an increasing gaming time and leading to negative consequences in many aspects of the individual life: personal, family, social, occupational and other relevant areas of functioning (World Health Organization). In the last years, the significant boom in using video games has been raising health issues that remain insufficiently understood. The extent of this phenomenon (the estimated prevalence is between 1.7 and 10% of the general population) has led the mentioned Organization to include gaming disorders in the list of mental health conditions (2018). Several studies show converging findings that highlight the common brain activities between substance use disorders and behavioral addictions (i.e., gaming disorders). Addiction specialists observed that addict subjects tend to confuse pleasure with happiness when linking emotional states to their addictive activities. As far as we know, beyond the mentioned observations, distinguishing the perception of these two emotional states in the frame of an addiction has not been yet the object of formal research. This study aims at examining the possible confusion between pleasure and happiness within the addiction sphere. Video game addiction has been chosen to explore the possible occurrence of this perceptional distortion. A mixed design lab-based study was carried out to compare between video games addicts and non-addicts (between-subjects), and video games-related activities and neutral activities (within-subject). Emotional reactions were gauged by self-reported scales and physiological data acquired through a range of biosensors: Relaxation and Hearth Rate. From a therapeutic standpoint, this research intends to explore alternatives to deal with this sort of disorders. More specifically, at the cognitive level, the idea is elaborating guidelines to develop patients' insights into these emotional states and thus increasing their ability to handle them. Overall, several indices resulting from this study constitute a bundle of arguments that argue in favor of the confusion between pleasure and happiness made by addict users when associating their affective states to video gaming. Furthermore, this approach illustrates how reappraising emotions may contribute to reducing the perceptional distortion of these emotional states.

“…Before the ERP task, the subjects were asked to complete various self-reported questionnaires: the Beck Depression Inventory (13 items, BDI, Beck and Steer, 1987; French version: Collet and Cottraux, 1986) to assess depression tendencies; scores between 0 and 4 signify absence of depression, while scores between 8 and 15 displayed a subclinical level of moderate depression (Beck and Beck, 1972); the State and Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI, Spielberger et al, 1983; French version: Bruchon-Schweitzer and Paulhan, 1993) for anxiety tendencies; scores below 36 reflect a very low anxiety, 36–45 low anxiety, 46–55 a normal anxiety, 56–65 high, and more than 65 very high anxiety; and the TAS-20 (Bagby et al, 1994a,b; French version: Loas et al, 1996) to measure alexithymic propensities; a score of less than 51 is not considered as alexithymia, and a score equal or higher than 61 indicates alexithymia (Taylor et al, 1997). The TAS-20 contains 20 items, each rated on a 5-point Likert scale.…”

Introduction: Previous studies have highlighted the advantage of using audio–visual oddball tasks (instead of unimodal ones) in order to electrophysiologically index subclinical behavioral differences. Since alexithymia is highly prevalent in the general population, we investigated whether the use of various bimodal tasks could elicit emotional effects in low- vs. high-alexithymic scorers. Methods: Fifty students (33 females and 17 males) were split into groups based on low and high scores on the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20). During event-related potential (ERP) recordings, they were exposed to three kinds of audio–visual oddball tasks: neutral-AVN—(geometrical forms and bips), animal-AVA—(dog and cock with their respective shouts), or emotional-AVE—(faces and voices) stimuli. In each condition, participants were asked to quickly detect deviant events occurring amongst a train of repeated and frequent matching stimuli (e.g., push a button when a sad face–voice pair appeared amongst a train of neutral face–voice pairs). P100, N100, and P300 components were analyzed: P100 refers to visual perceptive and attentional processing, N100 to auditory ones, and the P300 relates to response-related stages, involving memory processes. Results: High-alexithymic scorers presented a particular pattern of results when processing the emotional stimulations, reflected in early ERP components by increased P100 and N100 amplitudes in the emotional oddball tasks [P100: F (2, 48) = 20,319, p < 0.001; N100: F (2, 96) = 8,807, p = 0.001] as compared to the animal or neutral ones. Indeed, regarding the P100, subjects exhibited a higher amplitude in the AVE condition (8.717 μV), which was significantly different from that observed during the AVN condition (4.382 μV, p < 0.001). For the N100, the highest amplitude was found in the AVE condition (−4.035 μV) and the lowest was observed in the AVN condition (−2.687 μV, p = 0.003). However, no effect was found on the later P300 component. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that high-alexithymic scorers require heightened early attentional resources in comparison to low scorers, particularly when confronted with emotional bimodal stimuli.

“…Ainsi, face à une perturbation, l'individu évalue le problème, ses ressources personnelles et sociales pour y faire face, puis il élabore des stratégies d'ajustement pour réduire le stress qu'il perçoit [33]. Par conséquent, les contraintes liées à l'exercice d'une profession n'ont pas un effet systématique sur la santé des personnels qui les subissent [34] ; cela va dépendre de la manière dont l'individu évalue et s'ajuste à la situation. À travers cette notion, l'accent est porté sur les perceptions subjectives des sujets -le stress perçu -et sur l'évaluation des ressources dont ils disposent pour y faire face.…”

“…Lorsque la situation est inévitable, l'individu aura davantage tendance à agir sur lui-même et à mettre en place des stratégies de coping centrées sur l'émotion [34]. Une étude réalisée auprès d'infirmiers travaillant en médecine intensive réanimation en Australie et en Nouvelle-Zélande montre que les soignants utilisant des stratégies centrées sur le problème ont une meilleure santé mentale que ceux utilisant des stratégies centrées sur l'émotion.…”

Résumé Cet article se propose de donner un éclairage sur le concept de stress professionnel en médecine intensive réani-mation. Après avoir distingué les concepts de stress et de stresseurs professionnels, nous verrons qu'il se dégage deux grandes catégories : le stress chronique et le stress aigu. Si leur temporalité est différente, c'est surtout dans les origines et les conséquences psychopathologiques que leur distinction est importante. Une meilleure compréhension de ces concepts nous permet de réfléchir à un accompagnement plus adapté des professionnels de médecine intensive réanimation. Mots clés Stress professionnel · Stresseurs · Stress aigu · Épuisement professionnel · État de stress post-traumatiqueAbstract This article mainly highlights on the concept of occupational stress in intensive care units. In this article, the concepts of occupational stress and stressors will be distinguished first, and then the two main categories: chronic stress and acute stress will be discussed. If their temporality is different, it is especially in their origin and psychopathological consequences that their distinction is important. A better understanding of these concepts will allow us to think about a support more suitable to the professionals of intensive care units.
