Parental and intervention-specific environmental supports were examined as potential reinforcers for physical activity and use of a video game, Dance Dance Revolution (DDR), among a cohort of 7- to 8-year-old children.
Sixty children were randomized to an intervention (n = 40) or a control (n = 20) group. Physical activity was measured with accelerometry and DDR logs. Parental support for their child's physical activity was assessed via a questionnaire. DDR-specific environmental supports were captured on an environmental home screen and the DDR log.
At baseline, the absence of other video games and parent DDR participation was associated with child participation in DDR. At follow-up, DDR participation of siblings and friends was associated with child participation in DDR.
The primary findings of this study suggest that parental and peer participation in DDR may play a role in children's initial and sustained participation in DDR.
在一组7至8岁儿童中，研究家长支持及特定干预环境支持作为身体活动和使用一款电子游戏——《跳舞机》（DDR）的潜在强化因素。
60名儿童被随机分为干预组（n = 40）或对照组（n = 20）。通过加速度计和DDR记录来测量身体活动。通过问卷评估家长对孩子身体活动的支持。在家庭环境屏幕和DDR记录上获取特定于DDR的环境支持信息。
在基线时，没有其他电子游戏以及家长参与DDR与孩子参与DDR相关。在随访时，兄弟姐妹和朋友参与DDR与孩子参与DDR相关。
本研究的主要发现表明，家长和同伴参与DDR可能在儿童最初参与及持续参与DDR中发挥作用。
