Mobile games are video games that are typically played on any portable devices including mobile phones, such as feature phones or smartphones; tablets; personal digital assistants, which are able to handle game consoles; and portable media players with internet connectivity. Increasingly, people are becoming addicted to such mobile gaming. Not many studies are available that have investigated the factors responsible for such addiction, especially social influence and motivation aspects. There is a huge interest among practitioners, researchers, and academicians to understand the antecedents and consequences of people’s addiction to mobile games. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the antecedents and consequences of addiction to mobile games. With the help of social exchange theory, social networking theory, motivational theory and technology acceptance model, a theoretical model has been proposed, which is subsequently validated using partial least squares structural equation modelling on the feedback from 322 respondents who are mobile game players. The study finds that social influence has a significant positive impact on both hedonic and utilitarian attitudes of people towards playing mobile games. With different factors influencing them to play mobile games frequently, these players eventually become addicted to mobile games.

 Abstract: The increasing number of students who are hooked on playing online mobile games (OMG) is alarming. As such, this study was realized to address the problem. This study assessed the gaming profile towards OMG and its relation to the academic performance of the engineering students of Eastern Visayas State University Tanauan Campus (EVSUTC). Specifically, the study investigated the correlation between student's number of hours spent on playing OMG (at school and home), commonly played OMG (at school and home), reasons for playing OMG and attitudes on playing OMG with academic performance utilizing Eta and Pearson r correlation analyses. A random sample of 134 student respondents were selected through purposive sampling of those who are playing OMG using their mobile phones. Descriptive correlational research design was utilized and a validated survey instrument was employed to gather the needed information. The findings revealed that majority of the students played mobile legends and spent mostly 2 hours playing OMG for a reason of boredom. The overall attitudes of the students on playing OMG were interpreted as Less Favorable (M=2.58, SD=1.13). Out of the independent variables being set in the study, the number of hours spent on playing OMG at home (r=-0.188, p=0.039) and commonly played OMG at school (r=0.203, p=0.045) were found significantly correlated with student's academic performance. Hence, the students' time spent on playing OMG at home and the type of games that students played at school have significant bearing to their academic performance. As such, delimiting student's usage of internet can be made to address the problem.

Research into mobile game addiction has increased over the previous two decades. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between on-line mobile gaming and academic performances among adolescent students in Aceh's elementary schools. The study revealed that boys are more of a player compared to girls who often play games and those who play online games are around 11-12 years old have an average playing time 3-5 hours/day. The research population consisted of elementary students from Aceh, with a sample size of 55 pupils. Included in the study was the Game Addiction Scale (Lemmens et al., 2009). Then, using regression analysis, the hypothesis was tested. From the finding, we can conclude that academic performance was found to be negatively associated with online gaming. This is owing to the fact that playing games for long periods of time reduces their ability to focus on academic tasks. This study can serve as a reference to adolescents online gaming habits, ...

A descriptive cross-sectional study enabled the researchers to explore the level of mobile game dependency among the students enrolled in Telesforo and Natividad Alfonso High School (TNAHS) for the school year 2022-2023. This method also allowed the assessment of the social effects of mobile game dependency, which was also the objective of this study. This study employed a quantitative research design with the purposive sampling procedure applied as the sampling technique for data selection and printed self-questionnaires that were provided by the researchers as the research instrument. A total of 123 respondents participated in this study, comprising both junior high and senior high school students. The findings show that the respondents agreed with mobile game dependency. Thus, it shows that the level of mobile game dependency among TNAHS students was found to be quite high. Finally, the relationship between the level of mobile dependency and socialization of high school students was found to be significant and positive.

Online video games are video games played online via a mobile device, and are particularly popular when downloaded for free (e.g., “freemium game” – games played for free and where customers can pay for extra features), and can be single-player or multiplayer games (Su, Chiang, Lee, & Chang, 2016). It is also one of the main entertainment features on smartphones, and this could be potentially problematic in terms of dependent use among the students. Moreover, the purpose of this study is to enlighten the students and increase consciousness regarding the effect of mobile game addiction and to advocate prevention towards this problem. Comprehending the gathered data, the researcher decided to conduct this study to find out the effect on the students. In addition, it also aims to suggest possible solutions and preventions to the rapidly increasing of too much usage of online video games that may lead to addiction.
