Introduction to Internet Gaming

Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) has been included in the DSM-5 as a diagnosis for further study, and Gaming Disorder as a new diagnosis in the ICD-11.

Background and aims Following the recognition of ‘internet gaming disorder’ (IGD) as a condition requiring further study by the DSM‐5, ‘gaming disorder’ (GD) was officially included as a diagnostic entity by the World Health Organization (WHO) in the 11th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD‐11).

Internet gaming disorder (IGD) is of growing importance as a research field and in clinical settings, as documented by the inclusion of the diagnosis in Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) and the preliminary International Classification of Diseases.

Mental Health Professionals should be aware of the threat that Internet Gaming Disorder provides to mental health.

Video gaming has become massively adopted over the last years and Internet gaming disorder (IGD) has been noted as an increasing mental health problem.

Researchers aimed to investigate if and how internet gaming disorder (IGD) of the elementary school boys and girls is related to behavioral disorder and their mother’s parenting style in Iran.

Introduction: The results of studies comparing the characteristics of Internet gaming with those of Internet gambling have been controversial.

Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) offers an ideal model to study the mechanisms underlying cognitive control deficits in addiction, eliminating the confounding effects of substance use.

Internet gaming disorder (IGD) and problematic internet use (PIU) are becoming increasingly detrimental to modern society, with serious consequences for daily functioning.

BACKGROUND: Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) has emerged as a rapidly rising public health problem mostly affecting children and adolescent worldwide, as a result of massive growth of technology and internet usage in recent years.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the gaming habits, personality traits, and Internet gaming disorder (IGD) of Kyrgyz adolescents.

Background and aims Social variables including parental and family factors may serve as risk factors for Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) in adolescents.

The measurement tools included questionnaires on Internet and smartphone usage patterns and types of daily life stressors as well as the Internet Gaming Use-Elicited Symptom Screen and a smartphone addiction scale.

Data were collected on perceived COVID-19 impacts, videogame use, Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD), and depressive and anxiety symptoms.

We chose to present the clinical case of a patient, initially, marijuana addicted, who, after stopping it, developed an internet gaming disorder addiction.

In 2013, a provisional diagnosis of Internet gaming disorder (IGD) was tentatively included in the 5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) contingent on further evidence to warrant IGD’s existence as an independent disorder altogether (APA 2013b; WHO 2015).

IUD was assessed according to the criteria of Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) as suggested in the 5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5).

The present study was conducted to study the impact of internet gaming on the quality of life and flourishing of undergraduates.

INTRODUCTION Internet gaming disorder (IGD) was popular among adolescents worldwide, but whether some associated factors could contribute to the development of IGD was unclear.

Cross‐sectional studies have suggested that functional heterogeneity within the striatum in individuals with addictive behaviours may involve the transition from ventral to dorsal partitions; however, due to limitations of the cross‐sectional design, whether the contribution of this transition to addiction was confused by individual differences remains unclear, especially for internet gaming disorder (IGD).

Different from the previously dominant massively multiplayer online role-playing games, esports gaming has its unique structural characteristics, which substantially reshape the motivations, experiences, and behaviors of game users while raising new questions for research on Internet gaming disorder.

Growing evidence suggests that these behaviors warrant consideration as nonsubstance or "behavioral" addictions, such as pathological gambling, internet gaming disorder and internet addiction.

BACKGROUND Although depression has frequently been associated with Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD), its epidemiological impact on this emerging condition has not been systematically assessed.

INTRODUCTION Although previous studies have revealed that dysfunctional brain organization is associated with internet gamingdisorder (IGD), the neuroanatomical basis that underlies IGD remains elusive.

However, little is known about brain network organizations underlying cravings in internet gaming disorder (IGD).

The instrument used was the Internet Gaming Disorder-20 (IGC-20) questionnaire.

The relationship between the diagnoses of GD and Internet gaming disorder (IGD) in the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders was also examined.

Results of part 2: the family therapy approaches tested within this RCT both had a positive impact on Internet gaming disorder symptoms and overall well-being; the evidence-based approach (multidimensional family therapy) outperforming the family therapy approach as practiced locally.

BACKGROUND Although drug addiction studies have shown that females are more likely to become addicted and sensitive to drug cues, this feature seems reversed in Internet gaming disorder (IGD), of which males are more likely to be sufferers.

Internet gaming disorder (IGD) and problematic internet use (PIU) are becoming increasingly detrimental in modern society, with serious consequences for daily functioning.

This study had two aims: to test the effect and the effect size of specific problematic Internet use (SPIU) [online shopping, online pornography, social network site (SNS) usage, and Internet gaming] on generalized problematic Internet use (GPIU) and to reveal the gender differences in GPIU and SPIU for students from the elementary school level to the university level.

In the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition, the only condition that is currently included in the category for behavioral addiction is gambling disorder, while internet gaming disorder included in Appendix III as a potential addition to the category.

Internet gaming disorder (IGD) is an important issue that was included as a tentative disorder in the DSM-5.

Criterion validity was demonstrated by the significant positive associations between DISCA score and self-identified IGD, loss of control regarding time spent on Internet gaming, time spent on playing Internet games, depression, and suicidal ideation.

Compulsivity and loss of behavioral control represent core symptoms in obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), substance use disorder (SUD), and internet gaming disorder (IGD).

Subsequently, a convenience sample of 701 adolescents completed the DTQ-T and a battery of questionnaires assessing personality traits, affect, boredom, impulsivity, and Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD).

Around 3% of adolescents suffer from Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD), there is currently no universally accepted psychometric method.

The state has a duty and responsibility in preventing health problems caused by the development of internet gaming in Indonesia.

The most common behavioral addictions in adolescents are Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD), Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder (CSBD), and Problematic Social Networks Use (PSNU).

METHODS Electronic literature databases (Pubmed, PsychINFO, SCOPUS, and Web of Science) were searched to identify studies that examined the relationship between metacognitions and four different technological addictions (Internet Gaming Disorder, IGD; problematic Internet use, PIU; problematic smartphone use, PSU; and problematic social networking sites use, PSNSU).

However, studies have not explored the linkage between PTSD symptoms and internet gaming disorder (IGD) symptoms.

The questionnaire included demographics and adapted five different pre-validated scales: Young's Internet Addiction Test – Short Version (IAT-SV), Internet Gaming Disorder Scale 9 – Short Form (IGDS9-SF), (PPC scale), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale (GAD-7).

As the number of internet users appears to steadily increase each year, Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) is bound to increase as well.

, aggressive and delinquent problems) problems, and PVG (measured by the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale–Short Form).

Conclusion: The inclusion of Internet Gaming Disorder in Section III by the DSM-5 and the recognition of Gaming Disorder by the ICD-11 opened the way for a systematic clinical investigation of this and other PUI-related conditions, particularly in terms of preventive and therapeutic strategies.

6% and levels of gaming addiction as assessed using by the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form was present for between 0.

Participants completed the Kessler-10 Psychological Distress Scale, Problem Gambling Severity Index, Internet Gaming Disorder Checklist, a measure of risky engagement with loot boxes, concern about contamination, and reported money spent on loot boxes in the past month, as well as whether they were quarantined or under self-isolation during the pandemic.

AIMS To estimate the aggregated effect sizes of reward-related decision-making deficits in internet gaming disorder (IGD) and to explore potential moderators on the variability of effect sizes across studies.

Background Although previous studies have revealed gender-related differences in executive function in internet gaming disorder (IGD), neural mechanisms underlying these processes remain unclear, especially in terms of brain networks.

However, few studies have examined such features in humans, especially in internet gaming disorder (IGD), a proposed behavioral addiction.

It is the second behavioral addiction (after internet gambling disorder) included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Psychiatric Disorders (DSM), 5th edition as “Internet Gaming Disorder” (IGD).

The purpose of our research is to determine whether or not internet gaming disorder (IGD) has a significant negative impact on academic performance using binary dependent and two-staged least squares models.

A negative self-concept can drive gaming use and internet gaming disorder (IGD).

Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) is known to be associated with significant impairment in adolescents’ social, family, school and psychological functioning.

BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown that gaming-related cues could induce gaming cravings and bring about changes in brain activities in subjects with Internet gaming disorder (IGD).

Recently, the American Psychiatry Association classified “Internet gaming disorder (IGD)” as an addiction/mental disorder.

This paper evaluates the association of Internet gaming disorder (IGD) with the catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) val158met polymorphism and examines the roles of impulsivity and reinforcement sensitivity in this association.

The main aim of this study is to improve our knowledge on Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD), contributing to a common discourse concerning its risk profiles.

Background Individuals with internet gaming disorder (IGD) report facing family conflicts repeatedly because of their excessive internet gaming.

Presently, the incidence of internet gaming disorder among the adolescent group was between 1.

This study aims to investigate the proportion and potential risk factors of Internet gaming disorder (IGD), including socio-demographic (sex, age, and grade), anthropometric (BMI, height, and weight), and cognitive (body esteem, self-esteem, preference for online social interaction (POSI), and player-avatar identification (PAI)) correlates, in a sample of Chinese children.

Numerous instruments have been developed for measuring gaming-related health problems based on “internet gaming disorder” (IGD) in the third section of the DSM-5 (2013) and “gaming disorder” (GD) in the ICD-11 (2019).

The inclusion of internet gaming disorder in the DSM-5 and the ICD-11 has prompted considerable work demonstrating the validity of these diagnostic approaches.

Internet gaming disorder (IGD) has become an important health concern in a significant proportion of adolescents.

Demographic details, different gaming variables, “internet gaming disorder scale short form (IGDS9),” and “Perceived stress scale” were filled by participants using the Google form.

Lin, “Relationships between Severity of Internet Gaming Disorder, Severity of Problematic Social Media Use, Sleep Quality and Psychological Distress,” International journal of environmental research and public health, vol.

In recent years, increased interest in Internet Gaming Disorder has led to the development of the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form.

More recently ‘Gaming Disorder’ (GD) has been added to the 11th revision of the International Classification of Diseases, while ‘Internet Gaming Disorder’ (IGD) remains as a tentative disorder in the 5th revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.

This work contributes to better characterize the brain substrates of Gambling Disorder, which appear to resemble those of substance use disorders and Internet Gaming Disorder.

Gaming-specific beliefs on the functions and/or consequences of gaming have consistently been shown to be risk factors for Internet gaming disorder (IGD).

For the problematic use of online gaming - recognized as Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) - first evidence points to a bias towards in-game stimuli.

: Introduction: The World Health Organization (WHO) in 2019 determined that Internet Gaming Disorders (IGD) were included as mental health disorders.
