Exploring the Correlations Between Game Addiction, Aggression, Narcissism, and Self-Control among Adolescents: A Comprehensive Literature Review

Abstract

Aggression as one of society's biggest problems is affecting young people's mental health due to game addiction. Although existing research has clarified the relationship between influential factors on aggression and game addiction, this paper attempts to provide a holistic framework of these two variables with narcissism, and self-control through the literature. A comprehensive review of the existing literature was conducted by querying scientific databases (such as Google Scholar, Scopus, and PubMed) using keywords pertinent to the topic under investigation. A meticulous evaluation of the titles, abstracts, and full texts of the selected articles was undertaken prior to their analysis and reporting. According to the findings, aggression, game addiction, narcissism, and self-control are linked and affect individuals' physical and mental health, as well as social functioning. This paper also highlights the importance of further research and targeted interventions to address challenges posed by these interconnected issues. Future researchers can utilize these findings as valuable evidence and information for conducting more in-depth investigations on this subject matter.
