Abstract in brief

  • The study investigated how online game addiction is related to traits like aggression, self-control, and narcissism, finding that aggression and narcissistic traits are positively linked, while self-control is negatively linked to addiction.
  • Data from 1,471 online game users showed that narcissism, aggression, self-control, interpersonal relationships, and occupation could predict addictive behaviors, but only explained about 20% of the variance.
  • The findings suggest that psychological traits such as aggression, narcissism, and low self-control may make individuals more susceptible to online game addiction, providing insights for prevention programs.]
