Parental Influences on Pathological Symptoms of Video-Gaming Among Children and Adolescents: A Prospective Study

Internet use and Problematic Internet Use: a systematic review of longitudinal research trends in adolescence and emergent adulthood

“…Reliability ( et al, 2011), occasionally described as Problem Gaming (Haagsma, King, Pieterse, & Peters, 2013;, Problem online Game Use (Yu, Li, & Zhang, 2015) and/or Pathological online Game Use (Choo, Sim, Liau, Gentile, & Khoo, 2015;Coyne et al, 2015;Gentile et al, 2011). These studies highlight the problematic engagement with Internet gaming, as a specific component of PIU, aligning with the perspective that the issue is not just excessive or disproportionate use, but a loss of control associated with Internet gaming in particular.…”

“…The influence of gender, as a static (not-changeable, predisposing factor) on an individual's IU-PIU levels was investigated by 12 studies with only three of them not supporting gender-related IU-PIU differences (Gámez-Guadix, 2014;Gámez-Guadix et al, 2015;Jackson et al, 2003). The majority of the findings (7 studies) across different cultural samples converged with males being at higher risk, and the difference between males and females in regards to IU-PIU widening over time (Chen et al, 2015;Choo et al, 2015;Gentile et al, 2011;Haagsma et al, 2013;Hong et al, 2014;Willoughby, 2008;Yu & Shek, 2013). Different hypotheses and interacting factors were proposed to explain the differences revealed; primarily the higher preference of males for online games, males being targeted by the marketing strategies of higher PIU risk applications (such as online games) (Chen et al, 2015;Hong et al, 2014), and males being at higher risk of developing addiction-related behaviours (as PIU has been similarly characterized) (Yu & Shek, 2013) have been noted.…”

Uso problemático de Internet, el móvil y los videojuegos en una muestra de adolescentes alicantinos

“…Se entiende que existe una adicción conductual cuando la relación que la persona mantiene con ellas comienza a ser problemática (porque pasa excesivo tiempo realizándolas, porque deja de hacer otras cosas de más relevancia, porque el tiempo que no está realizándolas lo está deseando, etc.) (Alonso-Fernández, 2003;Echeburúa, 1999;Holden, 2001;Lemon, 2002 Internet en hombres (Chen et al, 2015;Choo et al, 2015;Durkee et al, 2016;Gentile et al, 2011;Haagsma et al, 2013;Hong, You, Kim y No, 2014;Kormas, Critselis, Janikian, Kafetzis y Tsitsika, 2011;Wang et al, 2011;Willoughby, 2008;Yu y Shek, 2013), en mujeres (Mihara et al, 2016;Durkee et al, 2012), o incluso aquellos en que no se sostienen diferencias atribuibles al sexo (Gámez-Guadix, 2014;Gámez-Guadix et al, 2015;Jackson et al, 2003 Rial et al (2015).…”
