Abstract

Objectives The current study aimed to determine the longitudinal relationships among adolescents personality, recognition of parenting attitude, self-control and game-overindulgence, then tried to determine the gender differences in this relationship.
 Methods 775 early adolescents panel data from KOCCA s Game User Panel in 2014 to 2016 utilized a structural equation model to examine the relationship.
 Results First, it was found that one’s conscientiousness heightened self-control while agreeableness and extraversion heightened game-overindulgence. In addition, positive recognition of parenting attitude heightened self-control and lowered game-overindulgence. However, negative recognition of parenting attitude heightened game-overindulgence and self-control had a negative mediating effect in the relationship between negative recognition of parenting attitude and game-overindulgence. Second, self-control had a negative mediating effect in the relationship among conscientiousness, positive recognition of parenting attitude and game-overindulgence. Third, the relationship between self-control and game-overindulgence in female and male groups were different. In the female group, self-control had a stronger negative influence on game-overindulgence.
 Conclusions Thus, it suggests in-depth future studies with regard to how to heighten adolescent’s positive personality and positive recognition of parenting attitude in order to reducing game-overindulgence.
