هجرة الأطفال و المراهقين إلى العالم الافتراضي و مساهمة تجربة التدفق النفسي في الإدمان على الألعاب الإلكترونية

Abstract EN

Some studies are concerned with the phenomenon of addiction to electronic games, although few of them study the nature of the composition.

The purpose of this study is to explore how addiction to electronic games in a sample of 53 children and adolescents, as well as to identify the contribution of some factors that may lead to addiction to these games.

This study was based on the scale of addiction to electronic games and the psychological flow meter, and the extent of repeat play behavior among members of the sample.

The results indicated that the repetition of play behavior had a major contribution to the addiction to electronic games and that there was no correlation between the experience of psychological flow and addiction to electronic games.

Thus, the repetition of play behavior is one of the factors contributing to addiction to games, which drives children and adolescents to migrate to the virtual world.
