A Study on Gaming Addiction among Adolescents with Special Reference to Coimbatore District

Internet and gambling addiction are recognized as serious mental health threats, and excessive Internet use is associated with a range of negative psychosocial consequences. The aim of this review is to identify all previous empirical studies that have used imaging techniques to reveal emerging mental health problems in internet and gambling addiction from a neuroscientific perspective. A systematic literature search was performed and 18 studies were identified. These studies provide compelling evidence of similarities at different levels between different types of addiction, particularly substance addiction and Internet and gambling addiction. This paper demonstrates that understanding the neural correlates associated with the development of internet and gaming addiction will facilitate future research and pave the way for the development of addiction treatment approaches. The sampling method chosen in this study was non probabilistic sampling as the researchers chose a descriptive study design. In this study, researchers collected data from respondents using a targeted sample. A sample size of 50 was collected using an interview design. Ms. G. Lourds Shammine | Amirthavarshini.
