This study evaluated a pair of video games called the RePresent games that taught users how to represent themselves in civil court. A quasi-experimental study was conducted that compared 69 RePresent game users and 78 non-game users with civil legal issues across four U.S. states on legal, mental health and psychosocial outcomes over 3 months. The results revealed that RePresent game users reported greater legal knowledge, better mental health and higher quality of life than non-game users across time, and a greater rate of improvement in legal knowledge than non-game users over time. These findings suggest that gamifying education about legal procedures for the general public holds great potential in helping individuals obtain self-help legal assistance although some formal mental health treatment may be needed for many seeking legal aid.
本研究评估了一款名为“重现游戏”的视频游戏，该游戏教用户如何在民事法庭上自我陈述。研究采用了准实验设计，比较了美国四个州的69名“重现游戏”用户和78名有民事法律问题的非游戏用户在3个月内的法律、心理健康和社会心理结果。结果显示，“重现游戏”用户在各个时间点上报的法律知识更丰富、心理健康状况更好、生活质量更高，且随着时间推移，其法律知识的提升速度比非游戏用户更快。这些发现表明，将面向公众的法律程序教育游戏化，在帮助个人获得自助法律援助方面具有巨大潜力，不过许多寻求法律援助的人可能还需要一些正式的心理健康治疗。
