“…(i) addictive risk in young adulthood is increased due to higher independence and impulse (Adams et al, 2018); (ii) internet use is highly prevalent during this time (Ohannessian et al, 2017); and (iii) this developmental period has been significantly under-researched in relation to IGD (compared to adolescence; Stavropoulos et al, 2018b). Based upon these arguments, the present study emphasizes adult (rather than younger adult) online gamers.…”

Objective: Problematic gaming has emerged as a contemporary concern, leading to the introduction of the diagnostic term 'Internet Gaming Disorder' (IGD; American Psychiatric Association). The present study aims to empirically assess the association between inattention and IGD, in the light of variable levels of vertical-individualism that reflects cultural inclinations towards independence, competitiveness, and hierarchy. Method: The participants (N=1032) comprised a normative cohort of Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) gamers (Mage=24 years; 48.7% male). IGD was measured with the nine-item shortform IGD Scale (IGD9-SF), inattention with the Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Self-Report Scale, and vertical individualism with the Individualism-Collectivism Questionnaire. Complex hierarchical and moderated regressions were employed. Results: Findings demonstrated an association between IGD and inattention, and additionally showed that this association was exacerbated by a more vertically-individualistic cultural orientation without significant gender differences. Conclusion: The need of differentially addressing IGD risk among inattentive gamers of diverse cultural orientation is highlighted.

“…Peers, especially friends, affect the way young adults construe their identities (Arnett, 2014;Hopmeyer & Medovoy, 2017;Roisman, Masten, Coatsworth, & Tellegen, 2004), construct appraisals (Knoll, Magis-Weinberg, Speekenbrink, & Blakemore, 2015;Welborn et al, 2015), and make decisions under uncertainty (Fromme, Corbin, & Kruse, 2008;Hopmeyer & Medovoy, 2017;Ohannessian, Vannucci, Flannery, & Khan, 2017;Riedijk & Harakeh, 2017;Silva et al, 2016;White et al, 2006). Despite the seemingly monolithic importance of friends, parents also remain important in the lives of their young adult offspring.…”

Lay theories posit young adults prioritize peer over parent relationships, especially when making decisions. However, no empirical work has directly evaluated how young adults weigh these relationships against one another. We conducted a pre-registered experiment where we pit outcomes for parents against outcomes for friends. Participants played one round of the Columbia Card Task in which gains benefited a parent and losses were incurred by a friend, then played another round where the opposite was true. We also varied the emotional salience of decision making, a moderating influence shown to affect how young adults make decisions. Results showed individuals were more likely to make decisions that benefited a parent at the expense of a friend, compared to the opposite. These results were driven by the low emotional salience condition, whereas individuals showed no preference in the high emotional salience condition. These findings help clarify popular lay theories of young adulthood.

Parents Versus Peers: Assessing the Impact of Social Agents on Decision Making in Young Adults

Young adulthood is a developmental phase when individuals must navigate a changing social milieu that involves considering how their decisions affect close others such as parents and peers. To date, no empirical work has directly evaluated how young adults weigh these relationships against one another. We conducted a preregistered experiment in which we pitted outcomes for parents against outcomes for friends. Participants ( N = 174, ages 18-30 years) played two runs of the Columbia Card Task-one in which gains benefited a parent and losses were incurred by a friend and another in which the opposite was true. We also tested whether age, relationship quality, and reward type earned for parents and friends (simulated vs. real) acted as moderating influences on parent-friend prioritization. Results showed that individuals were more likely to make decisions that benefited a parent at the expense of a friend. Relationship quality and reward type moderated this effect, whereas age did not.
