Ji Card Easy to compare addiction

There are many premiums for second -hand platforms, rare card resale

In an interview with a reporter of the replacement card enthusiast, Mr. Kuang said in an interview with the China Consumer Daily that most of the Ultraman card players in recent years are mostly elementary and middle school students, with two main reasons. First of all, Ultramanca's pricing is low. Second, Ultraman has many animation IPs and the characters are loved by children. A character has a different rare level card. If you want to gather, you need to continue to buy and tear the bag.

A shopkeeper told reporters: "The Ultraman card bag is the same as a blind box. I don't know what cards are there before tearing the bag. They are random. Some versions can find the number of rare cards in the card bag in the official strategy."

The reporter learned from a supermarket selling Altmanca that children who just started playing Altmanca usually buy a classic version of 1 yuan/package, 2 yuan/package luxury version. As the set card is more and more , Will buy a higher price, Yang Fan version, and even the entire box to buy. The higher the price, the easier it is to get a good card.

But how much can this prompt play a role in primary and secondary school students who lack self -control?

▐ Expert point of view

Ultramanca is essentially no different from the blind box

Three major issues to minors cause three major problems

Zhu Wei, deputy director of the Communication Law Research Center of China University of Political Science and Law, said in an interview with a reporter from the China Consumer Daily that there is no essential difference between Ultramanca's product nature and blind box. Products are easily addicted to minors and comparison. Sun Hongyan, director of the China Youth Research Center of the China Youth Research Center, told the China Consumer Daily that selling Ultramanca to minors can easily cause three problems.

The first is the hidden danger of consumption. Some minors lack a reasonable concept of money and consumption. In order to gather Ultramanca, which is rare, it will develop bad consumption habits, forming an addiction and comparison psychology that is continuously purchased.

Followed by social hidden dangers. The interesting teenagers generate a new social circle because of the communication card. These circles span the geography and closeness, and use fun fate as the social foundation, and extend the social circle of minors. Some second -hand card exchange circles have expanded the social scope of minors, and also bring certain hidden dangers.

The third is hidden dangers. Buying Ultramanca is both consumer and cultural behavior. Over excessive immersive, it is easy to form the ideas of showing off, comparison, gambling, and addiction.

Kang Liying, director and professor of the Home Education Research Center of the Capital Normal University, said in an interview with a reporter from the China Consumer Daily that for young people who have not yet mature mental development, card consumption behaviors can easily lead to comparison and excessive consumption. Parents should control their children's excessive consumption behavior. When the child's growth environment occurs in the environment of the child, it may be highly alert when they may cause some behavioral problems and psychological problems.
