“…While this may be the case, summary findings from two large reviews do have similar final estimates-5.5% [27] and 4.6% [28 •• ]. This rate is also similar to the prevalence of youth "at-risk" for IGD across Europe (5.1%) [29] and for full IGD in rural Thailand (5.4%) [35]. While far from definitive, 5% might be our strongest general prevalence estimate given the evidence.…”

“…Among middle and high school students in Japan, prevalence was 7.9% for problematic internet use and 15.9% for adaptive internet use, a lower cutoff of the diagnostic questionnaire [34]. In rural Thailand, 5.4% reached the cutoff for IGD [35], and in Taiwan 3.1% met that threshold [17]. Among 2666 urban middle school children in China, prevalence of IGD was 13.0% [36].…”

Purpose of Review This review describes recent research findings and contemporary viewpoints regarding internet addiction in adolescents including its nomenclature, prevalence, potential determinants, comorbid disorders, and treatment. Recent Findings Prevalence studies show findings that are disparate by location and vary widely by definitions being used. Impulsivity, aggression, and neuroticism potentially predispose youth to internet addiction. Cognitive behavioral therapy and medications that treat commonly co-occurring mental health problems including depression and ADHD hold considerable clinical promise for internet addiction. Summary The inclusion of internet gaming disorder in the DSM-5 and the ICD-11 has prompted considerable work demonstrating the validity of these diagnostic approaches. However, there is also a movement for a conceptualization of the disorder that captures a broader range of media-use behaviors beyond only gaming. Efforts to resolve these approaches are necessary in order to standardize definitions and clinical approaches. Future work should focus on clinical investigations of treatments, especially in the USA, and longitudinal studies of the disorder's etiology.

“…What is unique about the present study is that this relationship also extends to gaming disorder. This not only replicates previous studies reporting positive relationships between bullying victimization and PVG [52][53][54], yet provides evidence for the role of mental health symptoms in this relationship, accounting for 16.1% of the variance in PVG severity. The extent of the variance explained in this model points to the fact that various factors other than bullying victimization, externalizing and internalizing problems may explain youth PVG, including self-esteem, impulsivity, attention difficulties, social competencies and parental relationship quality [16].…”

“…Additionally, some studies have found that frequent video game playing has been associated with increases in cyberbullying perpetration (or of being both a victim and perpetrator of bullying [i.e., bully-victims]), within and outside online gaming environments [43][44][45][48][49][50][51]. Specific to PVG, direct positive relationships have been identified between bullying victimization and PVG [52][53][54]. However, little research has investigated the potential mediators explaining the relationship between these variables.…”

Background: Adolescent victims of bullying are more likely to experience a range of mental health problems. Although research has investigated the relationship between bullying victimization and various addictive behaviors, the impact of bullying on problem video gaming (PVG) remains largely unexplored. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between bullying victimization and PVG as mediated by the presence of internalizing and externalizing problems. Methods: Survey responses were collected from 6353 high-school students aged 12 to 18. Measures include bullying victimization (physical, verbal, cyber and indirect), internalizing (e.g., anxious and depressive symptoms) and externalizing (e.g., aggressive and delinquent problems) problems, and PVG (measured by the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale–Short Form). Results: Mediation analyses indicated that the relationship between verbal bullying and PVG was completely mediated by the presence of internalizing and externalizing problems. The relationship between physical bullying and PVG was completely mediated by externalizing problems and the relationship between cyberbullying and PVG was completely mediated by internalizing problems. Lastly, the relationship between indirect bullying and PVG was partially mediated by externalizing and internalizing problems. Conclusions: Results suggest that different types of bullying victimization are differentially associated with PVG, with mental health symptoms significantly mediating this relationship.

“…Besides, other studies reveal the prevalence of IGDs varies in the range between 1%-9% depending on the age of the respondent, country, and other sample characteristics (Gentile et al, 2017). The prevalence of IGD for rural adolescents living in a province in Thailand in 2018 was 5.4% (Taechoyotin, Tongrod, Thaweerungruangkul, & Towattananon, 2020). The prevalence of online game addiction in Indonesia has not been well documented.…”

The World Health Organization (WHO) has defined online game addiction into one of the medical conditions in 2018 under the category of Gaming disorder. Playing online games excessively may be related to both physical and psychological health. The problem of online game addiction and its impact on adolescent’s mental health is still not sufficiently documented. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between online game addiction and depression in adolescents from 6 High Schools in 4 districts/cities of Indonesia. This study is a quantitative research with cross-sectional design as a further analysis of the 2019 School-Based Mental Health Intervention Study. This study involved students of grade 10 and 11 at 6 public high schools in Bogor Regency, Bogor City, City of Central and South Jakarta. The statistical analysis used was multiple logistic regression test. Out of 746 students, 12.9% were depressed and 10.3% were addicted to online games. There was a significant relationship between online game addiction towards depression with OR = 2.44 (95% CI: 1.259-4.735) after being controlled for sex, learning difficulties, age, father's education, and mother's education. Schools are the best institutions that can be used for adolescent depression screening. It is expected that provision of mental health service facilities in school as one of the strategies to overcome online gaming addictions.
