“…According to Erikson's Theory of Psychosocial Development [46], adolescents will actively explore and establish their self-identity at the "Identity versus Role Confusion" stage while adults will seek to build up their social relationships at the "Intimacy versus Isolation" stage. These intrapersonal and interpersonal needs are often shown to motivate gaming behaviors, particularly the involvement in the massively multiplayer online role-playing games [47,48]. In their study with 179 Korean undergraduates, Kim and Kim [47] found that social motivations significantly predicted excessive Internet gaming.…”

“…In particular, the study showed that participants who were more motivated to overcome loneliness, build real-life social network, or increase virtual social network, were more likely to engage in excessive Internet gaming. In another study with 509 young adults in Croatia, it was revealed that lower levels of self-concept were associated with higher levels of problematic Internet gaming [48]. As such, adolescents and adults may be more inclined than children to play virtual games to build their self-identity and social relationships or to compensate such unfulfilled needs in real life.…”

This meta-analytic review aimed to examine the pooled prevalence rates of Internet addiction and gaming disorders in Southeast Asia. Several databases including PubMed, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Central were searched and a total of 24 studies were included in this study. The selection of studies was conducted in accordance to the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Two meta-analyses were conducted to examine data on Internet addiction and gaming disorders separately. A random-effects model was employed to derive the pooled prevalence rate. Mixed-effects meta-regression and subgroup analyses were performed to examine the moderators of the between-study heterogeneity. Publication bias was tested using the Egger's regression test and funnel plot. Only seven out of the 11 Southeast Asian countries were represented in the literature. All except for two of the included studies were cross-sectional in nature. The findings revealed a pooled prevalence rate of 20.0% (95% confidence interval: 14.5%-27.0%) and 10.1% (95% confidence interval: 7.3%-13.8%) for Internet addiction and gaming disorders respectively. Mean age and study population were significant moderators of the between-study heterogeneity in the prevalence rates of gaming disorders such that samples involving older participants showed higher prevalence rate than those involving younger individuals. Country of study was found to be significant moderator of the between-heterogeneity for both Internet addiction and gaming disorders, however the findings should be interpreted with caution due to the small and unbalanced sample sizes. There was no significant publication bias. Such epidemiology research should be extended to the Southeast Asian countries that have not been studied or are under-studied. Given that the prevalence rates appear to be higher in Southeast Asia than in other world regions, future research should also explore the factors behind these inter-regional differences. Further longitudinal studies should also be conducted to examine the trajectories of such disorders.

“…In relation to video game consumption habits, it turned out that students who have never played or play moderately, have a greater academic self-concept . High use of screen devices can generate low levels of self-esteem, self-concept and poor academic performance, although it has been shown that high use of mobile phones is positively related to social self-concept (McKay, Sumnall, Cole and Percy, 2012;Šporčić and Glavak-Tkalić, 2018). Not abusing video games enables students to use their time to do homework, share it with their families and be physically active in their extracurricular activities.…”

“…This association takes weight due to social networks and the possibility of playing online with users from anywhere in the world. The feeling of being part of a group and establishing connections between a group of peers in the same, is derived to a second level, because more and more young people establish social ties through chats of the games themselves or the social networks associated to them, hence the need to play games or use social networks to feel socially fulfilled Ramírez-Granizo et al, 2020;Šporčić and Glavak-Tkalić, 2018).…”

The use of different digital devices is a widespread practice among young people. These acts will be a key conditioning factor in their health and quality of life. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to establish the relationships between the problematic use of video games with physical-healthy and psychosocial variables in Primary Education students. This study is descriptive and cross-sectional in nature, developed in a sample of 577 primary schoolchildren, aged between 11-12 years (M = 11.41; S.D. = 0.492). An Ad-Hoc questionnaire was used to record hours of physical activity, hours of sleep and use of screens. Likewise, for the problematic use with video games, the Questionnaire of Experiences Related to Video Games (CESR) was used, as well as the questionnaire of Adherence to the Mediterranean Diet (KIDMED). Those young people who register more hours of sleep and more hours of physical activity, do not offer problems with video games. However, the higher values of use of digital screens are related to severe problems. Those students who do not have problems with video games obtain higher values at academic, emotional, family and physical levels. In contrast, higher values of social self-concept are associated with severe problems. Finally, higher body mass indices are associated with severe problems with video games, while greater adherence to the Mediterranean diet is associated with those who do not have problems.

“…Avoidance and dissociation coping have been identified as a risk factor for a variety type of addictions, including IGD (Bowditch et al, 2018;Schneider et al, 2017). More recently, research has found that using video games as a palliative coping mechanism explains the associations between IGD and different personality and psychological factors, including psychiatric distress (Ballabio et al, 2017;Király et al, 2015), self-concept clarity (Šporčić & Glavak-Tkalić, 2018), and Dark Tetrad personality traits (i.e.,…”

<em>No research has examined whether the effect of high negative affect and poor life satisfaction on Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) is explained by gaming to cope or is dependent upon users’ passion for video gaming. An online sample of adults (N = 969 adults; 60.5% male) reported their passion for video games, positive and negative affect, life satisfaction, and IGD severity. A latent profile analysis on the passion subscales yielded four subgroups: (1) minimally passionate; (2) moderately passionate; (3) harmoniously passionate (HP); and (4) Obsessively Passionate (OP) video game users. Although negative affect was directly and indirectly associated with greater IGD through gaming to cope in the overall sample, a follow-up moderated-mediation model revealed that gaming to cope did not mediate the association between negative affect and IGD for OP users, but did for HP users. The implications for future research on the mechanisms of IGD are discussed.</em>
