Yilmaz, Eyüp; Griffiths, Mark D. – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
Playing games can be one of the most important activities for children to improve their social problem-solving (SPS) skills. Studies that have examined the empirical evidence of playing games concerning children's SPS skills have tended to focus on the function of a single game. Therefore, an overview study is needed to generalize the data by the…
