What Families Should Know About Video Game Addiction

Video games can substantially alter the family dynamic in a number of ways. Research has shown that video games can strengthen parent-child relationships and marriages when used in the right contexts. However, they can also interfere with family life and daily functioning. Whether video games become pathological or “addictive” in nature is hotly debated in the literature. Several scholars do not believe that media can be addictive. However, a host of other research indicates that video games can become pathological and destructive to family life. Thus, it is important for families to recognize when video games are harmless entertainment and when they become a very real problem.
