The relationships between the digital game addiction, alexithymia and metacognitive problems in adolescents Ergen yaş grubunda dijital oyun bağımlılığı, aleksitimi ve üst biliş problemleri arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi SUMMARY Objective: Digital game addiction has become a diffuse problem among adolescents. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationships between digital game addiction, alexithymia personality traits and metacognitive problems in adolescents. Method: 664 adolescents (51% male, n=339, 49% female, n=325) from three secondary school in Istanbul were included in this study. The mean age of male and female participants was 12.89±1.29, and 12.58±1.53 respectively. Digital game addiction scale for children (DGASFC), 20 item Toronto alexithymia scale (TAS-20), and the metacognition questionnaire for children and adolescents (MCQ-C) were applied to participants. The correlation coefficients between the scales were analyzed with Spearmen's rank order correlation test. The predictability of TAS-20 and MCQ-C subscale scores, gender and age on the status of digital game addiction was tested with binary logistic regression analysis. Results: There were positive correlations between DGASFC and TAS-20 total (r=.275), factor 1 (r=.250), factor 2 (r=.159), factor 3 (r=.175) scores, and MCQ-C total (r=.180) and factor 1 (r=.109) scores. Results of the binary regression analysis revealed that TAS-20 factor 1 and factor 3, and MCQ-C factor 1 scores, and the gender predict the status of digital game addiction, significantly. Discussion: It is suggested that addressing the problems of identifying and expressing the emotions, and metacognitive problems may increase the treatment success of the adolescents presenting with digital game addiction.

“…Por otro lado, entre los países con mayor investigación sobre el tópico UPI se encuentra Turquía, el cual es uno de los lugares con elevadas tasas de prevalencia (Bolat et al, 2018). Además, como se observa en la gran variabilidad de puntos geográficos, la problemática preocupa a nivel global (Rosenthal, Cha y Clark, 2018;Zhou et al, 2018;Tateno et al, 2018;Mascheroni, 2018;Stavropoulos et al, 2018).…”

“…(RQ2) Los distintos artículos recogen datos en diferentes lugares geográficos. Sin embargo, destacan aquellos países, con más de 5 % de la producción científica, donde el UPI es un problema reconocido oficialmente por las autoridades públicas: Turquía (Bolat et al, 2018); EEUU (Rosenthal, Cha y Clark, 2018); España (Díaz-Aguado, Martín-Babarro y Falcón, 2018); China (Zhou et al, 2018) y Japón (Tateno et al, 2018). (RQ3) Para la detección de usuarios con UPI el instrumento con mayor incidencia es el IAT.…”

“…En los últimos años, se ha detectado que España es uno de los países europeos con mayor tasa de adolescentes que presenta un UPI (Díaz-Aguado, Martín-Babarro y Falcón, 2018). No obstante, la problemática adquiere un matiz global, puesto que la adicción a internet es un problema a escala mundial con tasas alarmantes en distintos países y continentes, como Estados Unidos (Rosenthal, Cha y Clark, 2018), China (Zhou et al, 2018), Japón (Tateno et al, 2018), Turquía (Bolat et al, 2018); Europa (Mascheroni, 2018), Australia y Reino Unido (Stavropoulos et al, 2018).…”

El uso problemático de internet (UPI) ha empezado a vincularse con la predisposición a padecer ciertas patologías que afectan la salud del ser humano. Este trabajo se propuso determinar las patologías asociadas al uso problemático de internet a partir de una revisión sistemática en Web of Science y Scopus, y analizar la incidencia del UPI en cada una de las patologías a través del metaanálisis. Así pues, se empleó una metodología de revisión sistemática con metaanálisis y se estableció una muestra final de 62 documentos. Entre los resultados destacan, como principales patologías asociadas al uso problemático de internet, el trastorno obsesivo-compulsivo, el abuso del alcohol, la depresión, el estrés, los trastornos del sueño, el déficit de atención y la hiperactividad y los trastornos alimenticios. Además, en la mayoría de estas patologías se estableció una significación estadística entre los grupos de control y los grupos con UPI. Finalmente, se muestra una panorámica general sobre los riesgos que conlleva el abuso de internet y la incidencia que presentan en la salud tanto física como mental.
