 Psychological perspective of video games The Psychology of Video Games: Are Video Games Good or Bad For Players? Video games are one of the most popular forms of entertainment today. Although billions of people seem to be having fun playing them, the question still looms: could they also be bad for us? Many things have been said about the impact of video games on players in the past few decades, more specifically about their potential negative effects, while their potential positive effects have often been ignored. Video games have been accused of making players violent, isolated, dumb, or addicted. Just like rock’n’roll and comic books before them, video games worry parents and policymakers. But does academic research confirm these worries? What are the potential negative impacts of playing video games? The next concern was whether video games could negatively affect school performance (e.g. lack of attention at school). Here again, the results are highly debated among scholars. ...

The Psychosocial Impact of Mobile Games A successful mobile game is inevitably appealing because of the high sense of achievement that teenagers can feel in the game again. Imagine that people who are not respected in real life can be admired for their virtual achievements in the game, either through kryptonite (spending money to increase combat power) or through their skill in playing the game. Even if you don’t make it to the top of the leader boards, you can still find a presence in a variety of ways. Moreover, in online games, without the constraints of real identities and conditions, gamers can communicate more flexibly and with less embarrassment of being rejected due to real conditions, communication between people is easier and gamers can easily build closer relationships through various tasks ( Caplan et al., 2009 ). These people who are dissatisfied with their real lives can find a sense of presence in the game in a variety of ways to escape their real-life dissatisfaction ( ...

Beat in g  the  vid eo  ga mes ˗ˏˋ   If we don't learn our lesson, we will become one  ´ˎ˗   Although as the heading suggests, ''beating'' video games isn't such an easy task. In fact it's much like any other drug, once you're hooked its hard going back. People can't do this on their own either, people try looking for escape-points - those escape points being family members and friends that help get anyone they know out of a video game addiction. Most people definitely know of a younger brother, sister, friend or really anyone who may be into video games.

  Role of parents in Controlling Gaming addiction  Identify other recreational activities .   Replacing gaming with other activities is critical to changing excessive gaming behavior. Your child is gaming in large part because she finds it fun and it is something she is good at. Gaming can be done virtually any time, with little planning or effort. Because many devices are used for other activities, a game is just one click — and one second — away. When your child has little else to do, games are always there to fill the time. To help your child fill free time, actively promote participation in  other recreational activities . Consider  activities that you and other family members can do with your child . The replacement of activities should be on the days of the week and during the times of the day when your child most often plays video games.
