Does academic burnout and consequent depression lead to online gaming addiction? (IMAGE)
Caption
Chinese researchers report that burnout from academia can push teens towards excessive online gaming. This study strengthens the claim that depressive symptoms and negative attentional bias mediate the relationship between academic burnout and adolescent internet gaming disorder. Teens, when academically stressed become emotionally drained, develop negative thinking, and turn to internet gaming to seek solace, which reduces their capability to handle real-life situations.
