addiction game definition

shared by anonymous on 06 Nov 11 - Cached
  • Video game addiction, or more broadly used video game overuse, is excessive or compulsive use of computer and video games that interferes with daily life. Instances have been reported in which users play compulsively, isolating themselves from family and friends or from other forms of social contact, and focus almost entirely on in-game achievements rather than other life events.[1][2][3] There is no formal diagnosis of video game addiction in current medical or psychological literature. Inclusion of it as a psychological disorder has been proposed and rejected for the next version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM).[4][5][6]

    There seem to be no common census on a definition on what is game addiction. The main goal of this task is to build a solution or maybe a definition as Jørn proposed. There are different causes to game addiction identified by research/observation/personal opinions etc. and different evidences for it so I suggest you first research the web and collect causes of game addiction, bookmark them with explanatory tags e.g., psychological, entertainment etc. i dont know your task is to find out. Then support those causes with evidence (e.g., results from research studies, statistics, observation etc.). Use the tagging to build a collection of causes and evidence and discuss them in-situ with comments and when you have several causes and evidences then a solution/definition to game addiction start to emerge. It all depends on what the status qua is on solution/definition of game addiction now. You are not supposed to immediately find the "correct" answer to the problem with game addiction. You are supposed to use this tool together to research the topic and propose a solution/definition to it AND that will emerge as you work collaboratively with the task. Still waiting for Håvar and Andreas to participate but we continue as we wait for them to join in:)

    This paper argues that the recent concerns about video game "addiction" have been based less on scientific facts and more upon hysteria.

    reading the article you shared, especially as expressed in the "general discussion" section, it's not inherent in the activity of playing computer game it self, nor simply about time management. i think it's more in the psychological side of the addict, that he/she actually choose to be addicted to game. just like anyone else can be addicted to smoking or playing golf.

    Two possible approaches: game addiction is/is not a real problem (dichotomous); or: game addiction exists on a scale from barely noticeable to debilitating. The article by Taylor and Francis below discusses a scale (7x3 indicators).

    Jørn, for you to complete this task and create your proposal for a solution to game addiction you should do some more research or look at the bookmark of the other students here and based on that write your proposal in the topic above: "Proposal for solution to game addiction". Your solution should be based on the bookmarks you add here.

  • Following a large sample across 2 years, this study provides needed data on risk factors for becoming a pathological gamer, how long pathological gaming lasts, outcomes, and whether it is a primary problem or is a symptom of comorbid problems.

      is pathological a possible tag? Evidence for cause?

      since computer games is part of the child's life, parent then need to get involved in it, and seek ways to manage it, rather than just condemn it and mark it 'addiction'.

    I think your tagged resources and comments gives gives good insight into game addiction. It is a complex issue that can develop into psychological disorders and chemical dependency in the brain. Other factors as stages of development of children, personality, escape from real life and other contextual factors has an effect on this and a solution to game addiction should be based on managing such causes:)

    To get started: 1) Install Diigo toolbar or Diigolet tools for bookmarking, highlighting and adding sticky notes in your browser You find the tools you can use by clicking on Tools on top menu of Diigo website. I use Firefox and therefore I use the Diigo toolbar for Firefox. Diigolet is a lighter version for those browsers that does not support toolbar plugins but it is fine to use for this learning activity;). Have a look at the tools and choose the one that suits the technology/software you will use. 2) Introduce yourself to each other in the Introductions topic under before you start the activity. Good luck! 3) Any problems then start a new topic, comment a topic and I will help you or you will help each other:) The learning activity we do here is based on the instructional method "Knowledge building". Knowledge building is: 1) a focus on idea improvement, 2) a focus on pursuing solutions to problems and not answer to questions, 3) a focus on the knowledge as valuable to the community, 4) a focus on that all ideas are treated as improvable with respect and judged according to what they can contribute to the group´s problem-solving 5) and the goals and products are emergent. For a brief introduction to Diigo and the basis of this learning activity have a look at this doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qGqmKafrnXpBAA-d-N8khfEiDVE4tjyuyUp8gt_6wFk/edit Any questions/feedback use the comment function here or add sticky notes to this Group page.
