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:)

game addiction psychological obsessive-compulsy

  • "Although experts are still debating whether excessive game playing counts as an addiction, Mr Bakker has no doubt that the symptoms are the same. 'If we see a car burning outside, we don't sit around wondering what to call it,' he said. 'It is not a chemical dependency, but it's got everything of an obsessive-compulsive disorder and all of the other stuff that comes with chemical dependency.' Tim, a 21-year-old from Utrecht, said he had hardly left his bedroom for five years because he was so obsessed by his computer games. "

      A newspaper in Australia refering to a Dutch gaming addiction comment on that game addiction is definitely psychological disorder. But other argue that it could also be an addiction defined as other addiction as for example drug or gambling addiction and therefore have a checmical dependency?
