Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences of the suicidal behavior, stress, internet gaming disorder-related symptoms and personality profiles between online game overusers and general users.
Methods: A total of 460 adult online game users (40 overusers, 420 general users) participated in this study and were asked to complete several self-report measures. Questionnaires included demographic information, suicidal behavior, stress, internet gaming disorder-related symptoms, and big five inventory-10.
Results: Compared to the general user group, the overuser group showed statistically significant higher suicide idea, suicidal plan, stress, internet game withdrawal symptoms, online game-related daily life problems and lower extraversion, conscientiousness. Online game overusers showed lower extraversion, decreased conscientiousness, and higher neuroticism compared to the psychiatrically undiagnosed group.
Conclusion: The current results indicate the possibility that online game overuse may be related to suicidal behavior, stress, and the personality traits of extraversion, conscientiousness, and neuroticism.
