Since the Internet and other IT technologies have become more popular than ever before, the amount of time people spend with computers and IT products, such as Internet and online games, has increased tremendously. The continuing boom of information and communication technology is causing the Internet to become a part of everyone’s life. People use the Internet not only as a tool for their jobs, but also to participate in virtual communities. Even if the rate of Internet uptake slows considerably (Weisenbacher, 2002), the trend still remains growing. There were 275.5 million people using the Internet in February 2000. That number had changed to 605.60 million in September 2002 (Nua Ltd., 2002). According to Horrigan’s study (2001), 84 percent of Internet users in America have participated in a virtual community. Moreover, apart from the number of people using Internet, the average time spent doing any activity online is increasing.

We investigated the effects of life and game self-efficacy of players of online games on the psychosocial factors of depression, loneliness, and aggression, exploring these relationships via an integrated path model using multidimensional factors of each construct. With survey data from 1,227 Korean online gamers, we examined how coping and social aspects of life and game self-efficacy affect these psychosocial factors. The results highlighted the important role of life self-efficacy, which significantly and negatively affected loneliness and depression; however, the results showed positive associations of game self-efficacy with these factors. Life self-efficacy had greater positive effects on depression and loneliness when mediated by preferred game playing. These findings provide novel contributions to research on the relationship between life and game self-efficacy, as therapeutic prerequisite factors in online game playing, and players' psychosocial factors.

Insight Into

I applied affective events theory to explore the multilevel influence of destructive leadership on the innovative behavior of millennial generation employees. Participants were 223 employees from 32 work groups at 3 companies in mainland China. Results showed that both actual group destructive leadership and destructive leadership as perceived by the millennial employees, had a negative influence on innovative behavior via the mediation of employees' individual affective responses. In addition, the multilevel negative influence of actual group destructive leadership on the millennial employees' innovative behavior was mediated by group affective tone. In this study, I revealed the multilevel value of affective events in the relationship between destructive leadership and millennial employees' innovative behavior, and offered insight into how to control the negative effects of destructive leaders and inspire innovative behavior in millennial employees.

The current development and globalization of this decade have been marked by rapid technological advances. Human welfare, which is demanded to be better and more advanced, triggers humans to discover new findings. One of the new findings found by humans is the internet. Technological progress is one of several measures of the development and progress of a country. The logical consequence at this level is that a country must be able to respond and implement the principle of technological progress as a standard if it wants to obtain a progressive state label, regardless of whether human resources in a country are ready or not in facing challenges and consequences in the future. Online games are part of technological advances that use the internet with a mechanism to connect between players online.

Online games have become increasingly popular computer applications, raising the question of who plays them. Thus, the present study investigates the relationship between gamer personality and online game use as well as the potential links between online game use and gamer demographic variables. The sample consisted of 1633 Taiwanese online gamers. This study used confirmatory factor analysis to assess measurement reliability and validity. The hypotheses were tested using regression analyses. Analytical results indicated that online game use is positively related to gamer openness and agreeableness but negatively related to gamer conscientiousness and emotional stability. Moreover, being male and having a high income were associated with higher levels of online game use. The results increase the knowledge on the link between personality and online gaming behaviour.

Perceived Attractiveness

Purpose Extending on flow theory, the purpose of this paper is to explore how interactivity (human-to-human interactivity and human-to-machine interactivity) and personal beliefs (perceived attractiveness, personal involvement, and perceived uncertainty) impact flow experience; this study also investigates how flow experience is related to replay intention. Furthermore, this is the first study to explore the relationship between perceived uncertainty and challenges in online gaming. Design/methodology/approach The proposed research model was empirically evaluated using survey data collected from online game players. The evaluation was conducted using partial least squares of structural equation modeling. Findings The findings revealed that flow experience was a significant predictor of replay intention. Four antecedents of flow (telepresence, focused attention, skills, and challenges) had a positive influence on flow experience. Interactivity (human-to-human interactivity and human-to-machine interactivity) and personal beliefs (perceived attractiveness, personal involvement, and perceived uncertainty) influenced these antecedents. Moreover, human-to-human interactivity exerted a greater impact on the flow experience antecedents than did human-to-machine-associated interactivity. This study reveals that human-to-human interactivity is most crucial to the effective development of online games. In addition, the author find that utilitarian motivations have positive moderating effects on the relationship between flow and replay intention. Finally, additional practical and managerial implications are discussed. Originality/value Few empirical studies have explored the moderating role of utilitarian motivations. This original study analyzed how utilitarian motivations moderate the relationships between flow and replay intention of online game players. Moreover, this is one of the first studies to explore the characteristic of uncertainty and its role in the context of online game playing.

Online game addiction and academic stress among junior high school studentsBackground: Online games are currently rife in society, enthusiasts ranging from children to adults. Online games have a tendency to make players interested in lingering in front of the computer to forget about study time, meal time, sleep time, and contact the environment in the actual world because they spend more time in cyberspace. Game addiction is as if the player has nothing to do but play the game, and as if the game is his life. Students will find it difficult to manage time and meet academic demands during their schooling. This raises academic stress, which is defined as a condition or condition of individuals who experience pressure because of students' perceptions and assessments of academic stressors. This is due to the many academic demands that must be faced, for example, exams, and assignments.Purpose: To determine the relationship between online game addiction and academic stress among junior high school students.Method: A quantitative study with correlational design. The sample of 500 students (junior high school students) in Bandar Lampung as respondent and taken by accidental sampling. The questionnaire data collection is using Google Form (G Form). The analysis by Spearman test and bivariate.Results: Finding a significant relationship between game addiction and academic stress with a correlation coefficient of 0.174, so this value that means a weak relationship between online game addiction and academic stress. The correlation coefficient was positive so that the relationship between the two variables is unidirectional, thus it means that the higher the level of online game addiction, the academic stress level will also get worse.Keywords: Addiction; Online game; Academic stress; Junior high school studentsPendahuluan: Game online saat ini marak di masyarakat, peminatnya mulai dari anak kecil sampai orang dewasa. Game online memiliki kecenderungan membuat pemainnya tertarik berlama-lama di depan komputer hingga melupakan waktu belajar, waktu makan, waktu tidur, dan melakukan hubungan dengan lingkungan di dunia nyata karena mereka lebih banyak menghabiskan waktunya di dunia maya. Kecanduan game adalah pemain seakan-akan tidak ada hal yang ingin dikerjakan selain bermain game, dan seolah-olah game tersebut adalah hidupnya. Siswa akan kesulitan mengatur waktu dan memenuhi tuntutan akademik selama mereka sekolah. Hal tersebut menimbulkan stres akademik yang diartikan sebagai suatu kondisi atau keadaaan individu yang mengalami tekanan sebagai hasil persepsi dan penilaian siswa tentang stressor akademik. Hal tersebut dikarenakan banyaknya tuntutan akademik yang harus  dihadapi, misalnya ujian, tugas-tugas dan lain sebagainya.Tujuan: Untuk mengetahui hubungan kecanduan game online dengan stres akademik siswa SMP.Metode: Penelitian kuantitatif dengan desain korelasional. Penelitian ini menggunakan sampel 500 responden siswa Sekolah Menengah Pertama (SMP). Dianalisis dengan menggunakan Uji Spearmen.Hasil: Diketahui bahwa terdapat hubungan signifikan antara kecanduan game dengan stres akademik dengan Koefisien korelasi sebesar 0,174, maka nilai ini menandakan hubungan yang lemah antara kecanduan game online dengan stres akademik. Angka koefisien korelasi bernilai positif sehingga hubungan kedua variabel tersebut bersifat searah, dengan demikian dapat diartikan bahwa semakin tinggi tingkat kecanduan game online maka tingkat stress akademik juga semakin parah.

The Online game is a technological product that is quite popular among adolescents. Violent characters in online games can affect the game players. Hurting the enemies in the games every day will gradually lead adolescents to think that hurting people is a fun and common thing to do. The adolescent delinquency cases in Yogyakarta occur every year, and the most frequent cases are klitih (maltreatment) and brawls. This study aims to discover the relationship between the level of addiction to violent online games and the intensity of violent behavior in adolescents. This study employed a quantitative method with a cross-sectional approach. Data were collected through Game Addiction Scale for Adolescent questionnaires by  about the adolescents’ addiction to online games and violent behavior in adolescents. The respondents of the study were 96 adolescents, recruited using the Lemeshow formula. Data were analyzed using the Spearmen rho test. Results showed that 48 adolescents (50%) were addicted to online games at a moderate level. The majority of adolescents (44.8%) had a low intensity of violent behavior. The p-value was 0.000 (<0.005). The correlation value was 0.731, indicating a strong correlation between online gaming addiction and intensity of violent behavior, and the positive value suggests a unidirectional relationship. The level of online gaming addiction in adolescents in Yogyakarta is moderate. Online gaming addiction and violent behavior have a significant relationship with a strong correlation coefficient and a unidirectional relationship. Future researchers are suggested to add research variables to discover other factors contributing to violent behavior in adolescents.
