Keywords:
Abstract
This research delves into the intricate relationship between sensation seeking, boredom proneness, and gaming addiction among college students. As the popularity of video gaming continues to surge, concerns about addiction have grown. By examining the interplay between these psychological traits and gaming habits, this study seeks to unveil the underlying mechanisms that contribute to gaming addiction. Through a comprehensive analysis of survey data and psychological assessments, our findings shed light on the complexities of gaming behavior and provide insights for educators, psychologists, and policymakers in addressing this modern challenge.
