Abstract

This paper examines the impact of video game addiction on university students' performance. The consequences of some demographic factors on video game addiction levels were observed. A sample (n= 317) of students from one private university in UAE was randomly selected. The t-test results showed that video gaming addiction levels differ significantly according to gender. Males students spend more time and are more addicted to playing video games than females. It has also been found that digital game addiction is positively associated with academic performance.
