Abstract:
Video gaming (also known as computer gaming or electronic gaming) has stirred scientific interest since its widespread adoption as a recreational activity in the 1980s. Initial research focused on the negative consequences of violent content and the development of excessive or addictive use by players. Based on evidence showing that some players develop clinically significant addiction-like symptoms such as loss of control and impaired individual, social, and occupational functioning,1 Gaming Disorder has been recognized as an official diagnosis in the International Classification of Diseases, 11thedition (ICD-11).2 However, recent changes in video games have again produced qualitatively new problems.
