These researches we study about the psychological factors, whether that is

factor to the online game addiction among students. Unlike with substance

abuse, the biological aspect of videogame addiction is uncertain. Research

chemistry. The addict suffers from a psychological component to the addiction.

Online gaming allows a person to escape the real world and change the

perception of self-worth (Rooij, Online video games addiction: identification of

addicted, 2010).

An online games addiction is not that far from drug addiction. Both are

searching for a way to make they feel better. The lure of a fantasy world is

especially pertinent to online role-playing games. These are games in which a

player assumes the role of a fictional character and interacts with other players

in a virtual world. An intelligent child who is unpopular at school can feel

dominant is the game. The virtual life becomes more appealing than real life.

Too much gaming may seem relatively harmless compared with the dangers of

a drug overdose, but experts say video game addiction can ruin lives. Children

who play 4 to 5 hours per day have no time for socializing, doing homework, or

playing sports leaving little time for normal social development.

According to Lan Ying Huang (2003), by playing the online game features

online gamer participants may view the games as source of providing diversion

and filling time. “The biggest risk factor for pathological video game use seems

to be playing games to escape from daily life,” said Joe Hilgard, lead author of

the study and a doctoral candidate in the Department of Psychological Sciences

at Missouri. Individual who play games to get away from their lives or to

pretend to be other people seem to be those most at-risk for becoming part of a

vicious cycle. These gamers avoid their problems by playing games, which in

turn interferes with their lives because they’re so busy playing games (Peters 7

et al, 2007).

Internet addiction gives the gamer to the unique psychological properties

which is the users increase their use of these internet services, the utility they
gain from each usage does not diminish, leading not only to self-destructive

addiction but also to social ills. When a problem playing video games can

interfere with real-life obligations such as work, and players can end up lying

about playing video games. The study found that “problematic” video game use

can have similar effects has other addictive activities, such as abusing alcohol

(Inwon Kang, 2011).

Games addiction shows the bad effect among the people nowadays. Addiction

to the internet shares some of negative aspects of substance addiction and has

been shown to lead to consequences such as failing school, family and

relationship problem (Brian. D. NG, M.S & Peter. W. H, 2005). It can make the

people who has addicted will feel that the games can provide opportunities for

achievement, freedom and even a connection to the players. Those benefits

trumped a shallow sense of fun, which doesn’t keep gamers as interested

(online gamers anonymous, 2008). The role of media in advertising the games

also make more cause why the games addicted will be more interested with

those games.

Internet addiction is a relatively new phenomenon in which social workers and

psychologists are unaware of and are thus unprepared to treat at present. Mu

(2006) points out that some of the main symptoms of internet and online game

addictions, including the decrease in friend and face-to-face interactions with

others, become infrequent while the member of friends in the virtual world

exponentially increases. Ultimately, the psychokinesis becomes weaker and

weaker and weaker over time. This means that after a long time of playing

online games, the players begin to realize the dangers of online gaming. At this

point players generally try to play less as they try to orient themselves back to

the demands of society.

topic, reported different results on the online games addiction and the finding

supported the same symptoms. With regards to undergraduate students who

were addicted to the internet or online games Zhang (2007) indicated that most

of these students had bad grades in their universities. Moreover, Zhou (2007)

stated that physical symptoms of internet and online game addiction were

cervical spondylitis, neurasthenia and insomnia.

It is widely that game players who spend playing too many hours (above 10

hours a day) are at higher risk of being addicted to video games ( Anand,2007).

Previous studies have shown that video game addiction among adolescents

gamers is highly correlated with psychosocial problems, life satisfaction,

loneliness, social competence, and aggression (Lemmens et al.,2009).

Although playing video games is one of the most popular leisure activities in

the world, research into its effects on players, both positive and negative, is

often trivialized. Some of this research deserves to be taken seriously, not least

because video game playing has implications for health. One innovative

application of video games in health care is their use in pain management. The

degree of attention needed to play such a game can distract the player from the

sensation of pain, a strategy that has been reported and evaluated among

paediatric patients. One case study reported the use of a handheld video game

to stop an 8 year old boy picking at his face. The child had neuro dermatitis

and scarring due to continual picking at his upper lip. Furthermore, case

reports and case series cannot provide firm evidence of cause and effect or rule

out other confounding factors. On balance, given that video game playing is

highly prevalent among children and adolescents in industrialised countries,

there is little evidence that moderate frequency of play has serious acute

adverse effects from moderate play. Adverse effects, when they occur, tend to
be relatively minor and temporary, resolving spontaneously with decreased

frequency of play. More evidence is needed on defining what constitutes excess

in the first place. There should also be long term studies of the course of video

game addiction.

Hypothesis

Research Design

The quantitative, descriptive design of research using a survey was used in this

study. Survey is securing their opinion about the effect at playing online games

to the behavioral aspect of the student. In survey studies; the researchers want

to know the effect of computer game about to their personal trait like anxiety,

sensation, seeking, neuroticism, and aggression. Which are symptoms that a

person is under the development of gaming addiction (Mehroot. M et al. 2010).

method was used in determine the respondent of the study. In Grade 12 Senior

High student, there are 38 from truthfulness and 38 from responsibility.

Boys Girls Total

Truthfulness 14 24 38
