Abstract in brief

  • The study examined 17 research papers involving over 25,000 individuals to explore how the Big Five personality traits (agreeableness, extraversion, openness, neuroticism, and conscientiousness) relate to online gaming, finding that most traits do not have a clear connection, except for conscientiousness which seems to offer some protective effect.
  • The results indicated that traits like agreeableness, extraversion, openness, and neuroticism are not consistently linked to online gaming across different groups and contexts, while conscientiousness appears to reduce the likelihood of excessive gaming.
  • Despite these findings, the study highlights that the reasons why some personality traits influence gaming behavior are still unclear, and it suggests that future research should explore these underlying mechanisms more deeply.]
