Gaming Addiction Likely Takes Hold at This Key Age
A recent study revealed that gamers who develop a video game addiction in adolescence are the most likely to incur the long-term effects of the past time.
“This seminal study provides one of the most detailed pictures yet of how gaming disorder emerges and evolves during adolescence,”
said Dr. Daria Kuss, a co-author of the study and an Associate Professor of Psychology at Nottingham Trent University’s School of Social Sciences.
“While most young people game without harm, a significant minority are at risk of developing patterns of play that can disrupt their lives, education, and well-being,”
Dr. added.
“Our findings underscore the importance of early, age-appropriate interventions to prevent internet gaming disorder from taking hold during the critical teenage years.
