In addition, behavioural repetition and time spent playing games are also predictors of flow (Chou and Ting, 2003;Khang et al, 2013).…”

Flow, a state of optimal experience where one is completely absorbed and immersed in an activity, is an important phenomenon for studying and designing games. In this article, we synthesise the literature on flow in gaming to discern existing research streams, and identify the antecedents, dimensions, and outcomes of flow which are then integrated into a framework. Based on the findings, we provide suggestions for game design elements that practitioners, such as game designers, may find useful for creating or inducing flow in gaming. We also discuss implications for research and practice as well as provide suggestions for future research.

The scope of descriptive research consists of 371 students of Adiyaman University Vocational School of Health Services. After the necessary permission from the related institute, to collect information from 1 to 20 December 2013 data were collected through face to face interviews. As a means of data collection; personal questionnaire and Internet addiction scale was used. In terms of statistical analyzes, the "Mann-Whitney U" test and Kruskal-Wallis H test were used. In this study, the frequency of problematic Internet use was found as 3.5% (8 people). A statistically significant relationship between Internet addiction and participants' gender, smoking status, employment status, the internet connection tool and the purpose of using it has been identified. The frequency of the avaluated students' internet addiction was understood to be low.

“…However, the study conducted by Wan and Chiou [36] found flow experiences to be negatively associated with addictive inclination towards videogames, which led the authors to assert that flow experiences may not be the key psychological mechanism underlying videogame addiction. Online game flow has also been found to be a mediating factor between game motivations and videogame addiction [37], and a relatively recent study on videogame addiction and flow found that a particular factor of the flow experience (i.e., heightened levels of a sense of time being altered during play) significantly predicted videogame addiction [29].…”
