“…Self‐regulation involves four main components: motivation, standardization, monitoring, and willpower (Baumeister & Vohs, ). Self‐efficacy and self‐regulation are cognitive‐behavioral factors that have strong effects on addiction (Park, Kwon, & Park, ). Even though students who are addicted to the internet expect their behaviors to have negative results, they cannot control themselves and will continue the behavior if their perceived self‐efficacy is insufficient (Keinan, ; Son, Ahn, & Kim, ).…”

ResumoContexto: A prática de jogos eletrônicos vem se desconectando do caráter meramente lúdico, podendo seu uso excessivo ser considerado um novo transtorno psiquiátrico. Objetivo: Realizar uma revisão da literatura científica a respeito dessa possível dependência, abordando suas principais características, a prevalência em âmbito mundial e a possibilidade de comorbidades, e avaliar a existência de procedimentos de tratamento baseados na terapia cognitivo-comportamental. Método: O estudo foi realizado nos bancos de dados da PubMed, BVS, Lilacs e SciELO, no período de 2001 a junho de 2011. Resultados: Não há consenso se a dependência de jogos eletrônicos pertence ao grupo do transtorno do controle dos impulsos ou de dependência química. É visto que a prevalência dessa dependência ao redor do mundo tem média de 3%, com predominância do sexo masculino. Foram encontradas comorbidades relacionadas à dependência de jogos eletrônicos. A terapia cognitivo-comportamental já é utilizada como possível tratamento, com resultados eficazes em curto prazo. Conclusão: Apesar de a dependência de jogos eletrônicos ainda não possuir um diagnóstico específico, esse novo fenômeno deve ser discutido e aprofundado na literatura científica, buscando-se, paralelamente, um modelo eficiente de tratamento psicoterapêutico e farmacológico.Lemos IL, et al. / Rev Psiq Clín. 2012;39(1):28-33 Palavras-chave: Dependência de internet, dependência de videogames, terapia cognitivo-comportamental. AbstractBackground: The practice of electronic games has been disconnected from a merely playful character, as its excessive use may be considered as a new psychiatric disorder. Objective: To accomplish a review of the scientific literature concerning this possible dependence, addressing its main characteristics, worldwide prevalence and the possibility of comorbidities, and to evaluate the existence of treatment procedures based on cognitive behavioral therapy. Method: The research was conducted for articles published between 2001 and June 2011, using the PubMed, BVS, Lilacs and SciELO databases. Results: There is no consensus whether the electronic game dependence is affiliated with the impulse control disorder group or chemical dependence. But it is known that the worldwide prevalence of this dependence has an average of 3%, with male predominance, and that there exist comorbidities of electronic game and chemical dependence. The cognitive behavioral therapy is already used as a possible treatment with effective short-term results. Discussion: Despite dependence on electronic games is not considered as a specific diagnosis, this new phenomenon should be discussed and deepened in the scientific literature, seeking, in parallel, an efficient model of psychotherapeutic and pharmacological treatment.
