Key Findings From Our Research - 2 views

it seems that the violence tendency is already in the children that they express it through video games; addiction can arguably be the same since the video game is simply an object which satisfy emptiness in the child, and without anything else, the child is hooked to the game.

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).

Using Diigo to Learning to Work Creatively with Knowledge - 1 views
-
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.

Unhealthy Gaming Habits and Addiction - 1 views

Similar to substance addictions, online gaming addictions are triggered by Individuals' needs to substitute real-life human connections, which they are unable to achieve normally. Through a virtual fantasy world and real people connected by the internet, MMORPGs allow these people to create these human connections. This may be one reason why people are easily addicted to these games; they need to substitute real interpersonal relationships with virtual ones through a game.

This is similar line of thoughts with the article I shared recently.

Computer Gaming Addiction (Addiction Behavior) - 1 views

- 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.
