EXPLORING GAMING ADDICTION: THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SENSATION SEEKING, BOREDOM PRONENESS, AND COLLEGE STUDENTS
Keywords:
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between sensation seeking, boredom proneness, and gaming addiction among college students. The study aimed to examine whether individuals with higher levels of sensation seeking and boredom proneness are more susceptible to developing gaming addiction. The research involved a sample of college students who completed self-report measures assessing their sensation seeking tendencies, boredom proneness, and gaming addiction symptoms. The findings indicated a positive correlation between sensation seeking and gaming addiction, as well as a positive correlation between boredom proneness and gaming addiction. These results suggest that certain personality traits and psychological factors may contribute to the development of gaming addiction among college students.
