Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The increasing use of the internet makes understanding games among adolescents different by moving it to the virtual environment and increases the digital game addiction risk. Especially among adolescents, digital games have become a popular activity and often a means of socialization. With the widespread use of smartphones, digital gaming has transformed from computer and console-based to a multi-platform activit. In addition, long-term digital games cause symptoms such as anxiety and depression through increased interpersonal loneliness and decreased relationships. This situation has caused recent research to focus on the effects of digital gaming activities on individuals.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Internet addiction and digital game addiction, which are the negative side of rapidly developing digital technologies and increasing internet accessibility, are of global concern. Therefore, implementing interventions for internet and digital game addiction can be an effective approach to prevent physical, mental, environmental, and social problems caused by addiction. In this context, it is predicted that motivational interviewing may be an appropriate approach in combating internet and digital game addiction. Motivational interviewing is a client-centered psychotherapeutic approach that helps the person with ambivalence make positive decisions, achieve specific and better goals, and increase internal motivation for change. It is thought that motivational interviewing could contribute to reducing addictive behaviors by evaluating the effect of motivational interviewing on both internet addiction and digital game addiction at the same time.
