Abstract in brief
- The study analyzed how different patterns of heavy video gaming, online social interactions, and addiction symptoms are related among adolescents, finding two main subgroups based on social activity during gaming.
- Adolescents who engaged more in online social interactions while gaming showed fewer problematic gaming symptoms, but overall, heavy gamers tended to have more depressive symptoms.
- Factors like friendship quality influenced mental health outcomes: friendships reduced depression in some male gamers but increased feelings of loneliness in others, highlighting the complex relationship between social behavior and gaming addiction.]
