“…Braun with colleagues (2016) revealed that non-gamers have higher conscientiousness than regular gamers and gaming addicts have the lowest conscientiousness (Braun et al, 2016). However, Huh and Bowman (2008) find a very weak correlation between online games addiction and conscientiousness (Huh & Bowman, 2008); there is mostly general consent that gamers characterized by high PVG are less conscientious than other gamers (Braun et al, 2016;Dieris-Hirche et al, 2020;Kaur, 2020;López-Fernández et al, 2020;Müller et al, 2014;Peters & Malesky, 2008;Wang et al, 2015;Wiguna et al, 2020). Moreover, in comparison with other personality traits of the Big Five model, conscientiousness, in particular, is characteristic of PVG, as shown by correlation coefficient values (Kayis et al, 2016;Müller et al, 2014;Şalvarlı & Griffiths, 2019;Wiguna et al, 2020).…”
