“…In this context, the focus on gaming addiction has increased [17][18][19], with the inclusion of internet gaming disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) in 2015 [20] and gaming disorder in the International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-11) in 2018 [21]. In addition, the first studies on eSports performance have emerged, focusing mainly on the cognitive skills and challenges eSports players face [22][23][24].…”

The number of video game and eSports players is steadily rising. Since little is known about their health behavior to date, the present study examines the demographics and health behavior of video game and eSports players. In this cross-sectional study, data on demographics, health status, physical activity, nutrition, sleep, and video game usage were assessed via a web-based survey of n = 1066 players (91.9% male; 22.9 ± 5.9 years; body mass index (BMI): 24.6 ± 4.8 kg/m²) in Germany in 2018. The majority of respondents (95%) reported a good to excellent health status. Two thirds (66.9%) engaged in moderate to vigorous physical activity for more than 2.5 h/week. The average duration of sitting and sleep time was 7.7 ± 3.6 h/day and 7.1 ± 1.3 h/day, respectively. Mean fruit and vegetable consumption was 2.7 ± 1.8 portions/day. Video games were played for 24.4 ± 15.9 h/week on average. Partial Spearman correlations revealed poor positive associations of video game play time to sedentary behavior (rho = 0.15; p < 0.01) and BMI (rho = 0.11; p < 0.01), as well as a poor negative association to self-reported health status (rho = −0.14; p < 0.01). These results indicate the good subjective health of this target group. Nevertheless, the high amount of video game play time and its poor negative association to health status indicate a need for specific health promotion strategies for this target group.

“…If one addiction behavior increases, the behavior of another addiction will increase too. Adolescents who have a negative life event will try to avoid problems through the Internet because it provides many interesting things for them (Estévez et al, 2017;Kusumawati et al, 2014;Musetti et al, 2018;Paulus et al, 2018).…”

Problematic Internet Use (PIU) is a disorder that involves Internet use and has the potential to happen to adolescents in the current digital age. As PIU predictors, parent attachment is one of the variables often studied by many researchers. However, in the development of technology where attachment between parents and children can be created through sophisticated devices, it is necessary to review whether the lack of parent attachments still has a relevant relationship with PIU. The aims of this literature review is to provide information about the relationship between parent attachment and adolescents' problematic internet use in the year of 2015 to 2019. A total of 72,275 participants from various countries were involved in the study, which was summarized in 25 articles. Literature search uses the Google Scholar database with several publishers, such as science direct and others. The method of selecting scientific articles is in accordance with the screening criteria preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyzes (PRISMA). Results show that lack of parent attachment is still the most influential variable on PIU, even though technology has helped parents to create attachment with their children. Interventions with a persuasive approach from parents to children directly become the most effective choice to help adolescents with PIU.

“…La prevalencia del juego problemático se encuentra entre el 1-9%, dependiendo de criterios de corte, edad, sexo o diferencias socioculturales (Gentile, 2009;Gentile y cols., 2017;Mihara y Higuchi, 2017;Paulus, Ohmann, Von Gontard y Popow, 2018). El juego problemático puede generar aislamiento y bajo rendimiento académico (Gentile y cols., 2011;Lemmens, Valkenburg y Peter, 2011), y ha mostrado asociaciones altas con síntomas de trastornos afectivos, emocionales, y por déficit de atención e hiperactividad (González-Bueso y cols., 2018; Mihara y Higuchi, 2017;Müller y cols., 2015).…”

ResumenAbstract original adicciones vol. xx, nº x · 2020Jugar a videojuegos es una de las actividades de ocio más populares en adolescentes. El principal objetivo de este estudio fue examinar los efectos aditivos y de moderación del género y la personalidad en el juego problemático y en la preferencia en géneros de videojuegos durante la adolescencia. 776 estudiantes españoles (media de edad = 14,29; DT = 1,59; 50,64% chicas) cumplimentaron cuestionarios del Modelo de los cinco grandes de personalidad y de conductas relacionadas con videojuegos. Se observaron diferencias de género en conductas relacionadas con videojuegos: los chicos jugaban más y presentaron mucho más uso problemático que las chicas. Ellos prefirieron géneros competitivos; por ejemplo, juegos de acción-shooters, deportes, lucha y estrategia. Las chicas prefirieron géneros no violentos y ocasionales; por ejemplo, simulación social, y juegos de habilidad y lógica. El género moderó las asociaciones entre personalidad y juego problemático: el juego problemático se asoció a baja amabilidad y baja responsabilidad en chicos, y a baja extraversión y baja responsabilidad en chicas. La baja responsabilidad moderó las asociaciones entre frecuencia de juego y uso problemático: jugar más a videojuegos conducía a un uso problemático de éstos, principalmente en individuos irresponsables e impulsivos. Se encontraron asociaciones pequeñas pero significativas entre la personalidad y preferencias en géneros de videojuegos. Estos hallazgos destacan la relevancia del género y la personalidad en las conductas relacionadas con videojuegos durante la adolescencia, y animan a prestar más atención a las diferencias dependientes del género y a las transacciones persona-ambiente al estudiar estas conductas.

The main aim of the present study was to examine additive and moderation effects of gender and personality to explain individual differences in problematic gaming and video game genre preferences in adolescence. 776 Spanish high school students (mean age = 14.29 years, SD = 1.59, 50.64% girls) completed the questionnaires of the Five-Factor Model of personality, frequency of video gaming, disordered use, and the video games they mostly played.Gender differences were observed for gaming behaviors: boys played more and presented much more disordered gaming than girls. Boys preferred competitive genres; for example, action-shooters, sport, fight and strategy games. Girls preferred nonviolent and ocasional game genres; for example, social simulation, and brain and skill games.Gender moderated the association between personality and disordered gaming: disordered gaming was associated with low agreeableness and low conscientiousness in boys, and with low extraversion and low conscientiousness in girls. Low consciousnness moderated the association between gaming frequency and problematic use of...
