Study on the Effect of Virtual Reality Games on Physical and Mental Health of College Students in Jilin Province and its Strategies

Abstract

Virtual reality games, as a new form of entertainment, are increasingly popular among contemporary college students. The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of virtual reality games on the physical and mental health of college students in Jilin Province, and put forward relevant strategies. Through comprehensive literature review, empirical research and strategic analysis, we deeply analyze the positive and negative effects of virtual reality games on college students. The findings suggest that virtual reality games can provide entertainment, education and social opportunities to a certain extent, but at the same time may have a negative impact on college students' physical health, academic performance and social interaction. In the study, we adopted quantitative and qualitative research methods, and collected a large amount of data through questionnaires and in-depth interviews. The results show that virtual reality games play a positive role in improving creativity, spatial cognition and teamwork among college students, but they may also lead to distraction, addiction problems and changes in daily living habits. We also found that the impact of virtual reality games is closely related to factors such as individual characteristics, game type, and time spent playing. In response to these findings, this study proposes a series of strategies aimed at helping college students in Jilin Province better manage the impact of virtual reality games on their physical and mental health. These strategies cover education, family support, game design and policy development to promote the healthy use and positive impact of virtual reality games. In summary, this study expands our understanding of the impact of virtual reality games on the physical and mental health of college students, and provides useful references for relevant policy formulation and practice. However, further research is needed to gain a deeper understanding of the complex impact mechanisms of virtual reality games and to explore more personalized intervention strategies.
