“…The multidimensional construct of self-control has been extensively investigated in relation to video game involvement, mostly in relation to "dysfunctional," "harmful," or "addictive" video game use (D'Hondt, Billieux, & Maurage, 2015;King, Haagsma, Delfabbro, Gradisar, & Griffiths, 2013). This focus on self-control-related processes is mainly because problematic video game use has for a decade been conceptualized as a "behavioral" addiction (Lopez-Fernandez, 2015) in which impaired self-control (e.g., executive function impairment, poor decision making and delay discounting, impulsive personality traits) is a central etiological factor (Grant, Potenza, Weinstein, & Gorelick, 2010;Groman, James, & Jentsch, 2009).…”

Studies have shown that regular video games use might improve cognitive and social skills. In contrast, other studies have documented the negative outcomes of excessive gaming vis-à-vis health and socioprofessional spheres. Both positive and negative outcomes of video game use were linked to their structural characteristics (i.e., features that make the game appealing or are inducements for all gamers to keep playing regularly). The current study tested whether active video gamers from main genres (massively multiplayer online role-playing games, online first person shooter, multiplayer online battle arena) differed in a laboratory task that measured inhibitory control. Eighty-one gamers performed the Hybrid-Stop Task, assessing restraint (go/no-go trials) and cancellation (stop-signal trials) processes of a prepotent response. They completed additional self-reported questionnaires measuring demographics, problematic video game use, impulsivity traits, and depressive symptoms. Results showed that when confounding variables were controlled for, participants whose favorite game is online first person shooter were characterized by accelerated motor responses yet reduced abilities to cancel a prepotent response. No differences between groups were identified regarding the restraint process. The findings of this pilot study might have clear implications for video gaming research by supporting the critical importance of distinguishing between video game genres when considering their specific potential benefits and detrimental effects.

“…Internet addiction disorder (IAD) has been described as an inability to control internet use despite severe negative consequences and is generally conceptualized as a behavioral addiction ( Tam and Walter, 2013 ; D’Hondt et al, 2015 ; Kuss and Lopez-Fernandez, 2016 ), representing a specific impairment that involves online and/or offline web misuse, and it is mainly relevant for young generations ( Grant et al, 2010 ; Balconi et al, 2017 ). Although whether IAD is a mental disorder per se is still controversial, the public health and social issues related to IAD are clear and the neural correlates of IAD have begun to be explored ( D’Hondt and Maurage, 2015 ).…”

Internet addiction disorder (IAD) is associated with deficits in social communication and avoidance of social contact. It has been hypothesized that people with IAD may have an impaired capacity for empathy. The purpose of the current study was to examine the processing of empathy for others’ pain in IADs. Event-related potentials produced in response to pictures showing others in painful and non-painful situations were recorded in 16 IAD subjects and 16 healthy controls (HCs). The N1, P2, N2, P3, and late positive potential components were compared between the two groups. Robust picture × group interactions were observed for N2 and P3. The painful pictures elicited larger N2 and P3 amplitudes than the non-painful pictures did only in the HC group but not in the IAD group. The results of this study suggest that both of the early automatic and of the later cognitive processes of pain empathy may be impaired in IADs. This study provides psychophysical evidence of empathy deficits in association with IAD. Further studies combining multidimensional measurements of empathy are needed to confirm these findings.

“…Different works indicate that addiction to this technology has consequences in different aspects, such as: difficulties with cognitive flexibility (Dong, Lin, Zhou & Lu, 2014), problems for decision making (D'Hondt, Billieux & Maurage, 2015 ), increased level of anxiety (Wegmann, Stodt & Brand, 2015), omitting to carry out certain activities (Chóliz & Marco, 2012), in the development of working memory (Dong, Devito, Du & Cui, 2012 ), or conflicts in concentration (Rücker, Akre, Berchtold & Suris, 2015).…”
