The Impact of Parental Recognition of Students' Interests on the Construction of Psychological Environments: A Case Study of Online Gaming

Abstract: The family plays a crucial supportive role in the development of students, particularly in the construction of their psychological environment. However, there exists a cognitive bias among parents regarding students' engagement in online gaming, which can lead to tension in students' mental health and family relationships. This study analyzes the importance of parental recognition of students' interests in constructing psychological environments, particularly in the context of online gaming. By exploring the intrinsic links between students' participation in online gaming and their social relationships, addictive behaviors, and mental health, this paper reveals the influence of parental cognition on student behavior. The findings indicate that positive parental involvement and informed guidance can effectively mitigate the negative impacts associated with online gaming. Based on this, the paper recommends enhancing parents' understanding and recognition of their children's interests, establishing a healthy family environment, and strengthening communication and cooperation among families, schools, and society to promote students' healthy development jointly.
