Play "Grow Your Chi" Flash Self-Esteem Game (requires Macromedia Flash)
McGill University psychology researchers have developed a series of free online games that you can play in your browser which have been shown through research to improve your self-esteem! Here is how their introduction reads:
Imagine you could play a computer game for five minutes each morning that would help you feel more secure and confident in yourself. Our research shows that people may be able to change the negative thought patterns that sometimes produce insecurity. We are now examining whether over time, with practice, people can develop positive, beneficial habits of thought to help them become more secure and self-confident on a long term basis -- whether in the context of their working life, their personal relationships, or their overall sense of well being.
The game pictured at the top is called Grow Your Chi which uses Macromedia Flash and it is the latest in a series. which "... have catchy names such as Wham!, EyeSpy: The Matrix and Grow Your Chi. All three games were developed by doctoral students from McGill’s Department of Psychology." They have already published studies looking at one of the games, "EyeSpy: The Matrix"
