TY - JOUR PY - 2004// TI - Video game addiction in children and teenagers in Taiwan JO - Cyberpsychology and behavior A1 - Chiu, Shao-I A1 - Lee, Jie-Zhi A1 - Huang, Der-Hsiang SP - 571 EP - 581 VL - 7 IS - 5 N2 - Video game addiction in children and teenagers in Taiwan is associated with levels of animosity, social skills, and academic achievement. This study suggests that video game addiction can be statistically predicted on measures of hostility, and a group with high video game addiction has more hostility than others. Both gender and video game addiction are negatively associated with academic achievement. Family function, sensation seeking, gender, and boredom have statistically positive relationships with levels of social skills. Current models of video game addiction do not seem to fit the findings of this study. LA - SN - 1094-9313 UR - http://dx.doi.org/ ID - ref1 ER -
