The Influence Factors and Intervention of Children’s Gaming Addiction

Abstract

With the gradual arrival of the information age, the network is playing a more and more important role in people’s life, permeating into every aspect of people life. The network game is a powerful source of attraction in the network and constantly contributes to the network flow. Game addiction has a negative impact on the psychological and physical levels of children and has become an increasingly prominent social problem. Therefore, this review is based on previous studies on children’s gaming addiction, including previous opinions and conclusions, and summarizes the influencing factors involved in children’s gaming addiction. This paper combines the previous research results on children’s game addiction in the field of applied psychology and summarizes the internal and external influencing factors of children’s game addiction. Among the internal factors, we found that whether children face the influence of game addiction is related to their impulsivity, self-control, and aggression. Among the external factors, it is not difficult to find that social class, academic pressure, and family environment all subtly affect the degree of addiction in children. Therefore, we found that the factors affecting children’s game addiction are multi-faceted and interrelated. In order to alleviate and prevent children’s game addiction to a certain extent, family intervention, stimulus intervention, social intervention, and medical intervention can be carried out. This paper is helpful to carry out further research on this basis, to carry out a more in-depth mechanism analysis at the level of applied psychology.
