Abstract

How does the psychology of gaming influence the daily decision-making processes of adolescents, and what is the relationship between gaming, financial aspects, and mental health? Diving into research from scientists to looking into people’s experiences; we understand the role of psychology in understanding the impact of computer gaming. With the research, it was found that video gaming may be associated with better cognitive performance in children, but also in certain situations may develop a gambling addiction dependent on the games they play. This study was outlined in Raneri, P. C. case study in combination with B. Chaarani study. The hope and significance of this research is to tie it all together to bring greater awareness and understanding on the future of how gaming can affect the future of our children. Whether it’s a positive change or change that will set them on a path of difficulties it is paramount we acknowledge the data and take action with the information.
