Tilahuna Balina

According to studies, aggression, social anxiety, and behavioural addictions are all related. The connection between social anxiety, hostility, smartphone addiction, and Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) hasn't been looked into, though. The current study used a self-report survey to look at the structural links between IGD, aggression, addiction to smartphones, and social appearance concerns. 383 Turkish undergraduate students who all played online video games made up the sample (50.9% male, 49.1% female). The study included demographic questions as well as the short forms of the Buss-Perry Aggression Scale, the Social Appearance Anxiety Scale, the Smartphone Addiction Scale, and the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale.
