“…Some research indicates that social versus solitary gaming may make a difference: cooperative gaming is associated with prosocial behavior among university students (Greitemeyer & Cox, ) and social gamers spend more time on gaming (Eklund, ). Finally, as it has been reported that (a) high body mass index (BMI) in girls is associated with more gaming (Desai et al., ), and (b) that social competence correlates negatively with BMI (Sapienza, Schoen, & Fisberg, ), we also adjust for BMI.…”

Electronic games are popular and many children spend much time on this activity. Here we investigate whether the quantity of time children spend on gaming is related to their social development, making this the first study to examine this relationship in children. We examine prospective relations between time spent gaming and social competence in a community sample of Norwegian 6 year olds (n = 873) followed up at ages 8, 10, and 12, controlling for socioeconomic status, body mass index, and time spent gaming together with friends. Results revealed that greater social competence at both 8 and 10 years predicted less gaming 2 years later and that more age-10 gaming predicted less social competence at age 12 but only among girls.

“…Obese individuals, especially teenagers, have deficits in social skills, which damage relationships, self-esteem, and their valuation by social agents. A study finding showed that the components of social competence were negatively associated with obesity, and most studies focused on self-esteem, the pattern of interaction with peers, and social relationships (Sapienza, Schoen, & Fisberg, 2017).…”

Obesity is considered a multivariate syndrome, which negatively affects the whole body's functioning. Poor health conditions resulting from obesity may act as a barrier to developing a sound mind, thus paving the way for poor learning behavior and outcome. This study explored the correlation between obesity, emotional and social well-being, and adolescent behavioral problems. A quantitative approach using descriptive-correlational design was employed. The 120 students served as respondents to the study. The following research instruments were used: Respondents’ Profile Questionnaire, Respondents’ Emotional Well-being Questionnaire, Respondents’ Social Well-being Questionnaire, and Respondents' Behavioral Problems Questionnaire. Mean and standard deviation and Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient were used to analyze the data gathered. There were more overweight than obese among the respondents of the study. Results showed that respondents' well-being is high as they manifest a low level of stress and emotional eating. In addition, they manifest a high level of social interaction and a low level of behavioral problems. The respondents' social well-being as social contact was greatly influenced by the respondents' level of obesity. Other variables and constructs were not affected by their level of obesity. It is recommended that stakeholders in education, sports, and health put a mechanism to guide all school learners to participate in physical activities. Keywords : learning behavior, level of stress, multivariate syndrome, poor health condition, social interaction
