4.0 REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
Research takes advantages of the knowledge which has accumulated in the past
as a result of constant human Endeavour. It can never be undertaken in isolation of
the work that has already been done on the problems which are directly or indirectly
related to a study proposed by a researcher.
Some of us may make a statement that addiction of playing video game
is one of the modern- day psychological disorders and some of us are disagree with
that statement. Based on the research done by the America Psychiatrist Association
(APA) in May 2003 conclude that addiction of playing video game is not mental
disorder due to the insufficient evidence to include it as an official mental disorder.
However, proposed criteria for "Internet Gaming Disorder" are included in Section 3,
Conditions for Further Study.
While Internet Gaming Disorder is proposed as a disorder, it is still discussed
how much this disorder is caused by the gaming activity itself, or whether it is to
some extent an effect of other disorders. Research suggests that excessive online
2
gaming may in extreme cases lead to symptoms commonly experienced by substance
addicts, namely salience, mood modification, craving, and tolerance (Wolfling,
Grusser and Thalemann, 2008; Young, 2009; Hsu, Wen and Wu, 2009; Ko et al.,
2009; Mehroof and Griffiths, 2010)
In United Kingdom, the research done by David Rudd (2011) stated that the
addiction in playing online game is believed to drive someone to extreme
circumstances so much so that from some evidence demonstrated parents tend to
believe that their child is in a position where their health and future is a worry. While
the health could be an issue due to lack of exercise but failing to adhere to education
and lack of future job prospects has no strong solid evidence to indicate this is a true
thus have no findings about the matter.
