Outline of Final Research Achievements	This study examined stress assessment when playing three-dimensional video games by using a simple electroencephalograph. Moreover, development of teaching materials for game literacy education introducing effects of video game stress was investigated. Results suggested that mean relative value of brain waves (beta/alpha) could be considered an index of stress. Regarding game literacy education, it would be necessary to consider the mental and physical effects of video games such as on eyesight, and children’s sociability including play. Furthermore, the need for developing rules on time allocated for playing video is was suggested.
