computer is one of the most widely used and well-liked technologies

in use today. Computers are now ingrained in every aspect of our lives as a social and
economic necessity. Therefore, it is imperative to exercise caution while investigating all

of the applications for computers and the drawbacks of routine use Computer games

are one method to pass the time when we're bored, but due to a lack of self-control,

they can also become addictive. Addiction to video games is a concerning trend among

today's digitally adept adolescents.

Many students spend hours each day on computers to the point where it has replaced

other forms of enjoyment for them, making them forget what it means to be a student.

On the other hand, attitude governs every life; it is a secret force that operates around-

the-clock, whether for good or bad. It is crucial that people understand how to harness

and control this powerful force (Simmons, 2005). When an attitude forms, a habit

follows, and eventually addiction sets in. As gaming's influence increases, the number

of addicted gamers rises. In the 2000s, online gaming grew in popularity, and studies of

internet

gaming addiction also appeared, highlighting the drawbacks of excessive gaming, its

prevalence, and related risk factors, according to Kuss (2013). The industry for online

gaming is increasing. It is argued that only by understanding the allure of Internet

gaming, its context, and neurobiological correlates can the phenomenon of Internet

gaming addiction be understood thoroughly. In 2012, more than one billion people

played computer game Internet gaming addiction has been the subject of more and

better-quality research in recent years. The detrimental effects of Internet gaming

addiction have prompted governments and health care providers in South-East Asian
nations to take the issue seriously and establish a series of programs to stop and lessen

it.

According to King et al. (2012), the prevalence of gaming disorders increases

along with Internet penetration and social acceptance of gaming, which helps to explain

why South-East Asian nations have greater prevalence rates than other regions.

Additionally, there is good evidence to support the hypothesis that gamers experience

greater distress (rather than less distress) while engaged in excessive gaming, which

may contribute to the perception of a problem. In light of this, a lack of acceptances,

which fueled the 8% growth of the computer gaming industry in the same year. Internet

gaming addiction has been the subject of more and better-quality research in recent

Additionally, there is good evidence to support the hypothesis that gamers experience

greater distress (rather than less distress) while engaged in excessive gaming, which

may contribute to the perception of a problem. Therefore, stigmatization of excessive

gaming and a lack of acceptance of it may in some way be linked to greater rates of

addiction and problematic play.

According to Kuss (2013), the worries seem well-founded because an increasing

number of research show that addiction to online gaming is linked to a variety of

detrimental outcomes. The following are some of the psychological repercussions:

neglecting real-world connections, other pastimes, sleep, employment, education,

socializing, and relationships; and an obsession with gaming as well as a lack of actual

relationships, inattentiveness, aggressiveness and aggression, stress, dysfunctional

coping, poorer academic performance, issues with verbal memory, low wellbeing, and

high loneliness. Moreover, a lot of research have discovered psychosomatic effects.

These included sleep issues, seizures, and psychosomatic difficulties (Allison et al.,

2006), among others. (2009) (Batthyány). This extensive list serves as evidence that

Internet gaming issues require serious consideration because they may negatively

impact a person in a number of ways.

Online game addiction is recognized as a mental health disorder by the World

Health Organization. With 29.9 million gamers registered in the Philippines, excessive

internet gaming is on the increase. The prevalence of depression is rising across the

nation as well. The current correlational analysis assessed the relationship between

depression and online game addiction in Filipino teenager.

 In terms of how Internet gaming addiction is understood, the individual, game,

and attitudes appear to have a considerable influence on the amount to which problems

arise as a result of excessive gaming. In this sense, attitudes can be thought of as a

lens through which individuals and those around them view and interpret actions and

their results. It's important to place gaming issues into the larger context of the game,

the player, and their attitudes in order to better comprehend them. Understanding

gaming issues shouldn't just be done through their visible symptoms.

This study sought answers on the significant relationship between

playing on-line games and academic performance of grade 11 stem student of SNNHS.

Specially, they want to find out: What is the level of online games habit and academic

performance of grade 11 stem student? What is the academic performance of grade 11

stem student? Is there a significant relationship between the level of online games habit

and its effect on their academic performance? The researchers also want to test the

hypothesis: If there is a significant Relationship between Online Games Habit and

Academic Performance of Grade 11 Stem Student.

Theorical Framework

Computer game addiction generally refers to an excessive and unhealthy amount

of playing computer games. Addicts do not participate in their world. Conrad (2011)

defines a gamer as someone who spends the majority of his or her time playing video

games. The issue of games. Addiction is becoming widely uncontrollable. Gaming

addiction became a more terrifying than alcohol, a mysterious problem which is still

difficult to treat, drug addiction. Cardiff Business School's Dr Shumaila Yousafzai

(2009), The school said popular online video games warn players not to overuse their

products. These warning

messages also suggest that the online video game industry might. I know how high the

percentage of over-users is. How much time do gamers spend playing? and what

specific features make a particular game more addictive other (Yousafzai, 2009). On the

other hand, cyber psychologist, Dr. Zaheer Hussain, from the University of Derby, said
warning messages were not enough. Asa first step online Game developers and

publishers need to look into the structural features of games for example, the character

development, rapid absorption rate, and multi-player features that may be addictive or

problematic for some gamers. (Hussain,2008). Parents across the globe are

increasingly concerned about their children.

 Review of Related Literature

This chapter includes literature and studies that are related to the problem,
these focuses on the ideas that support the study.
Computer Addiction
Video gaming is a billion-dollar global industry which continues to expand and

display innovations around the world from one year to the next (King, Koster, & Billieux,

2019). The popularity of online gaming reflects a major cultural shift in leisure and

recreation preferences for screen-based entertainment over other pastimes. Individuals

of all ages play games daily for enjoyment and socialization, and some people report

finding deeper personal satisfaction and meaning in their virtual experiences than in the

real world. Gaming provides an endless and constantly changing play experience, often

in a social context, and there are new gaming products and innovative technologies

continually entering the consumer market. Many new games include features that make

them more immersive, socially integrated, and monetized than those before them.

However, while there can be many benefits associated with gaming, there is also

growing recognition that unrestricted screen time, particularly in younger people, can

lead to harm and that gaming can be highly time-consuming and addictive for some

vulnerable individuals.

Game Player
 Many people, including kids, teenagers, and adults, prefer playing computer

and online games. According to study conducted by the Entertainment Software

Association in 2012, 32% of gamers are under the age of 18, while the typical gamer is

30 years old.

Games are played for a variety of purposes, including enjoyment, recreation

(Griffiths & Hunt, 1995; Kuss & Griffiths, 2012), stress relief (Grusser, Thalemann,

Albrecht, & Thalemann, 2005; Wood & Griffiths, 2007), social interaction and status-

seeking (Hellström, Nilsson, Leppert, & Aslund, 2012), and escape from reality (Wan &

Chiou, 2006; Wood, Griffiths, & Perke, 2007). Both positive and negative effects on

players have been reported in research on video and computer gaming literature. 52

percent of the parents emphasized that playing video games is healthy and significant in

their children's lives (Entertainment Software Association, 2012).

Positive and Negative Effects of Online games

The popularity of gaming among teenagers has already been increasing over

the last couple of years.72% of all teenagers, according to a 2015 Pew Research

survey, engage in video game play on a computer, gaming system, or portable device

such a cellphone.

Video games are usually one of the best leisure activities for teenagers, and

they are played for extended periods of time. The majority of youngsters today prefer

playing video
games over any outside games since playing video games is now easier thanks to

modern controllers and joysticks.

However, if a serious addiction occurs, playing these video games can he ava

negative impact on children's health and vision.

The benefits of playing video games for an individual are up for debate. We will list

and detail each of those beneficial and negative consequences of video games in order

to provide a thorough understanding of this subject.

Genre of online games

Online games come in a variety of genres in today's globe. The console games

come first. Videogames are the more frequent name for console games. They are

played on a machine developed specifically for gaming, or a videogame console.

console. Through a controller, a small handheld device featuring buttons, joysticks, and

pads, the player interacts with the game. The gamer watches a television to obtain both

sound and video. Microsoft Xbox, Sony Playstation, Nintendo GameCube, and Nintendo

Wii are a few examples of consoles. The real-time strategy game comes in second. In

this kind of video game, players use strategy to navigate the environment, defeat

adversaries, and decide which paths to pursue and what needs to be done. as opposed

to first-person shooters. Online games that are cross-platform come in third. creating

software for, or utilizing software on, many hardware platforms. The web browser is the

most versatile cross-platform program. Web browsers render web pages "nearly"
identically on every desktop and mobile platform out of ten, regardless of the computer

they are running on.

Online Games and Academic Performance

Most individuals currently associate playing internet games with poor academic

performance. Studies over the years have shown varying results. Some of them claim

to be connected, whilst others claim they are not. Anderson and Dill (2000) found that

there is a bad association between the two. In other words, there is no connection

between a player's playing time and his academic performance. On occasion, kids will

defend the games they are playing by claiming that they are teaching them something.

These students are supported by a report from EDUCAUSE, which suggests that faculty

members learn about these games in order to improve students' in-class learning

experiences (Hitch and Duncan,2005). Additionally, according to another article, these

games aren't simply for fun (Shaffer, squire, halverson, and gee, 2005). They assert that

these games can be used to discover new things, engage with others, and become a

part of an online community. Addicts who play too much neglect their personal

connections and occasionally stop trying altogether because they spend so much time

playing. Up to 50% of married gamers who are hooked indicate that their addiction has

put strain on their relationships. The obligations of daily life, such as job and school, are

also neglected by obsessive gamers (UNC-OASIS).
