Grant Activity:
Understanding and Treating Videogame Addiction in Young People
Purpose:
Excessive videogame play is causing harm to individuals and conflict among families. In the most severe cases players develop Internet Gaming Disorder. We will identify the factors that lead to addiction and based on this we will work with videogame players to design an intervention that will help people overcome IGD. The intervention will be based in software that videogame players are already using. We will evaluate the intervention and translate the knowledge we gain for use by others.
