  • Men are more rewarded by video games than women on a neural level, which explains why they're more likely to become addicted to them, researchers at Stanford University claim.

    This study says there is a difference between how men and women react to video games. Men more easily become addicted.

    Nope, that option does not appear for me: I posted the link, then you seem to have deleted and then reposted it and "taken possession" of it. Looks to me like only the poster can edit tags?

      - Causes is not clear- Similar to any other addiction Phenomena which enforce addiction: -  high accessibility of screen, - 'positive' (or perception of positive) immediate 'benefit' felt by user  basically just like a drug, even the brain respond similarly (in chemical terms)it's categorically classified as behavioural addiction what's interesting is (in my opinion): in one of the slides, it's said that the profile of 'game addiction is "low social" activity, however, i think, with the rise of social media, there are more and more social-based games, and as any social media, the more social it is, the more engaging it become; and thus even more addictive.  So where is the problem lies? Within the social context? Or within the person? Or just chemicals?

    Interesting point, just a note on this: research on addiction states that it is located in a particular area of our brain and people get addicted to different things.Like drugs, food, gambling etc. Maybe food for you Andreas and me:) Maybe its genetic, related to life situation, environment, gender, different causes for different addictions...i dont know. Looking forward to you finding out and deciding the causes together for game addiction:) Interesting tags starts to appear here in your bookmarks:) use tags for every possible cause you identify.
