Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Adolescent Health
  • Digital Media Studies

Background:

  • Heavy video gaming and online socializing can be socially valued by adolescents, potentially increasing life satisfaction.
  • Conversely, heavy video gaming is associated with Internet Gaming Disorder symptoms, which may decrease life satisfaction.
  • The complex relationship between Internet Gaming Disorder symptoms and life satisfaction in adolescents requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the association between Internet Gaming Disorder symptoms and life satisfaction in adolescents.
  • To control for demographic factors (gender, age) and other conditions impacting life satisfaction.
  • To determine if Internet Gaming Disorder symptoms are linked to decreased or increased life satisfaction.

Main Methods:

  • Anonymous questionnaires administered to over 2000 school-attending adolescents and 43 patients in a care center.
  • Data collection included sociodemographics, family conditions, screen use (videos, video games, social networks), mental health screenings, and life satisfaction measures.
  • Stratified multivariate analyses were performed, segmented by gender and age groups (young male, older male, young female, older female).

Main Results:

  • Internet Gaming Disorder symptom prevalence was similar across age groups: males (21% vs. 19%) and females (6% vs. 7%) before and after age 15.
  • A significant association was found between Internet Gaming Disorder symptoms and decreased life satisfaction in older males.
  • This association remained significant even after adjusting for parental support, depression, and economic conditions.

Conclusions:

  • Internet Gaming Disorder symptoms are significantly linked to reduced life satisfaction in older male adolescents.
  • The relationship between Internet Gaming Disorder symptoms and life satisfaction varies based on adolescent gender and age.
  • Further research is needed to understand these nuanced associations across different adolescent demographics.
