New article on problematic computer game use [22.07.14]
An article on problematic computer game use by Michael Scharkow, Ruth Festl and Thorsten Quandt from the University of Münster has been published in the renowned journal Addiction.
The study shows that within a 2-year time-frame, problematic use of computer games appears to be a less stable behaviour than reported previously and not related systematically to negative changes in the gamers' lives.
