Abstract

Problematic gaming is particularly prevalent in adolescent and young adult populations. While numerous studies have investigated the psychiatric comorbidities of Internet Gaming Disorder in young adults, few have focused specifically on adolescents who might be especially at risk because developmental particularities related to this developmental period.

Here, we conducted a review of the literature, in line with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, in order to highlight the types of psychiatric comorbidities found in adolescents with problematic gaming.. We selected and analyzed 30 cross-sectional and longitudinal studies which correspond to 3683 adolescents (63,27% of boys) worldwide with problematic gaming.

Our results highlight the high prevalence of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adolescents with problematic gaming and the links between this addiction and inattention, anxiety, depression, behavioural and emotional problems. These psychiatric comorbidities interact with problematic gaming and predict it throughout the adolescent’s development. Moreover, this interaction involves personality profile and environment, including parental education. The complexity of this interaction argues in favor of the multi-level assessment that we are promoting.

问题游戏、精神并发症和青春期：文献系统回顾

有问题的游戏在青少年和年轻人群中尤为普遍。尽管已有大量研究对青少年网络游戏障碍的精神并发症进行了调查，但很少有研究特别关注青少年，因为这一发育阶段的特殊性可能使他们面临特别大的风险。在此，我们根据《系统综述和荟萃分析首选报告项目》（Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses，PRISMA）指南对文献进行了综述，以强调在有问题游戏的青少年中发现的精神并发症类型。我们选择并分析了 30 项横断面和纵向研究，这些研究涉及全球 3683 名有游戏问题的青少年（其中 63.27% 为男孩）。我们的研究结果凸显了注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）在有游戏问题的青少年中的高患病率，以及游戏成瘾与注意力不集中、焦虑、抑郁、行为和情绪问题之间的联系。这些精神并发症与问题游戏相互影响，并在青少年的整个成长过程中对其进行预测。此外，这种相互作用还涉及人格特征和环境，包括父母的教育。这种相互作用的复杂性证明了我们所提倡的多层次评估是正确的。

期刊介绍： Addictive Behaviors is an international peer-reviewed journal publishing high quality human research on addictive behaviors and disorders since 1975. The journal accepts submissions of full-length papers and short communications on substance-related addictions such as the abuse of alcohol, drugs and nicotine, and behavioral addictions involving gambling and technology. We primarily publish behavioral and psychosocial research but our articles span the fields of psychology, sociology, psychiatry, epidemiology, social policy, medicine, pharmacology and neuroscience. While theoretical orientations are diverse, the emphasis of the journal is primarily empirical. That is, sound experimental design combined with valid, reliable assessment and evaluation procedures are a requisite for acceptance. However, innovative and empirically oriented case studies that might encourage new lines of inquiry are accepted as well. Studies that clearly contribute to current knowledge of etiology, prevention, social policy or treatment are given priority. Scholarly commentaries on topical issues, systematic reviews, and mini reviews are encouraged. We especially welcome multimedia papers that incorporate video or audio components to better display methodology or findings. Studies can also be submitted to Addictive Behaviors? companion title, the open access journal Addictive Behaviors Reports, which has a particular interest in ''non-traditional'', innovative and empirically-oriented research such as negative/null data papers, replication studies, case reports on novel treatments, and cross-cultural research.
