Videogame addiction, sleep quality, and psychological distress in young adults.
Main Article Content
Abstract
The present research took levels of video game addiction and tested a model of structural structures to determine whether videogame addiction predicted sleep quality and psychological distress. A sample of 612 young male adults was constituted, with a mean age of 21 years (SD = 2.95) of residents of Greater Buenos Aires and 40% in the Federal Capital. They answered a demographic questionnaire, the GASA questionnaire, a sleep questionnaire and the DASS-21 that measures anxiety, depression, and stress. The results indicated high levels of video game addiction and that age introduced differences. The structural model presented a good fit and addiction predicted greater sleep difficulties and less psychological well-being. The discussion will review the implications of this research and provide suggestions for future research.
