Introduction With rapid advances in technology, exergaming has become increasingly sophisticated. Exergaming, which combines exercise and electronic gaming, has become an indispensable application for many students during their academic years. Exergaming has a wide range of uses: some people use it for entertainment, some use it to expand their social circles, and others use it to gain a sense of accomplishment through gaming. This research combines Self-Efficacy Theory and Expectancy-Value Theory to explore whether exergaming can enhance students’ hedonic value, utilitarian value, and social value and to understand how they impact well-being. Methods A purposive sampling method was utilized by recruiting 400 students who played exergames on tablet computers and then responded to a questionnaire. After removing the invalid data, a total of 387 questionnaires were used for this study. Numerous processes took place before and during the data collection. All survey items required back-and-forth translation from English to traditional Chinese. Structural Equation Modeling was analyzed using Smart PLS 4 to test the questionnaires’ confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), reliability, validity and the hypothesized relationships among self-efficacy, hedonic value, utilitarian value, social value, and sustainable well-being. Descriptive analysis was analyzed using SPSS for Windows. Results There were 261 (67.4%) male respondents and 126 (32.6%) female respondents in this study. The research results are shown as follows: Self-efficacy was positively related to hedonic value, utilitarian value and social value. Moreover, the results also showed that hedonic value, utilitarian value and social value all have a positive impact on sustainable well-being. The overall model showed good fit confirming good validity of the pathways. Discussion This study focused on Exergaming and on identifying whether EVT can improve students' motivation to learn and if their feelings are increased or decreased. Unlike ordinary games, Exergaming focuses on satisfying people’s physiological needs rather than just pursuing the pleasure of playing games. Self-efficacy is an important component of personal motivation and a key element in exerting controlling beliefs over important events in one’s life. This study found that self-efficacy was a strong consistent predictor, positively influencing all three value types.

Introduction Resilience in athletes is defined as a dynamic adaptive process encompassing metacognitive, emotional, and behavioral capacities in response to adversity (Gupta & McCarthy, 2022). Resilience is recognized as a crucial psychological factor for improving athletic performance and maintaining athletes’ mental health. However, some researchers have argued that most studies examining resilience in athletes have failed to accurately measure athletes’ resilience because they have used scales developed for the general adult population (e.g., Kegelaers, 2023). Therefore, this study aimed to systematically examine and evaluate resilience scales developed specifically for athletes. Methods A systematic literature search was conducted in December 2025 using PubMed, SPORTDiscus, Web of Science, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses, and J-STAGE (Japanese). Only the scales developed to measure individual-level resilience in athletes were included in this review. The identified scales were evaluated following the COSMIN Risk of Bias Checklist, which establishes criteria on methods for developing and validating scales, and the COSMIN Criteria for Good Measurement Properties, which establishes criteria on the quality of scales (Mokkink et al., 2024). Results Nine scales were included in this review. The evaluation of scales according to the COSMIN Risk of Bias Checklist (nine measurement properties) revealed that although two measurement properties (i.e., structural validity and internal consistency) were adequately tested on eight scales, two measurement properties (i.e., content validity and construct validity) were inadequately demonstrated on all scales. Moreover, scales that demonstrated all measurement properties did not exist. The evaluation of scales according to the COSMIN Criteria for Good Measurement Properties (nine measurement properties) revealed that although two measurement properties (i.e., structural validity and internal consistency) were ensured adequately in all scales, content validity was not. Additionally, scales evaluated as having adequate quality across all measurement properties did not exist. Conclusion This systematic review showed that no resilience scale developed for athletes fully satisfied the COSMIN guidelines. In particular, none of the reviewed scales accounted for 1) the resilience process in athletes (Gupta & McCarthy, 2022), 2) situational or contextual demands (e.g., Luthar et al., 2000), or 3) sport-specific characteristics (e.g., Wei et al., 2025), which should be reflected in the resilience scales for athletes. These findings highlight the need to develop resilience scales that follow the COSMIN guidelines and incorporate three important elements.
