`CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
A video game is usually defined as an electronic game that is played by a controller and
provides user interactions by generating visual feedback. According to Edward
Castronova (2008) in his book of Synthetic Worlds: The Business and Culture of Online
Games, he described online game as Massively-Multiplayer-Online Games (MMOG). An
MMOG is a game capable of supporting hundreds or thousands of players and is mostly
played using the Internet. Nowadays, online games have become extremely popular
among the young generation thus leading to the rise of online game addiction issues
especially among the students.
According to the research conducted by Zhang (2007) and Zhuo (2007) on online game
addiction, the physical symptoms of Internet and online game addiction were were
cervical spondylosis, neurasthenia and insomnia. Cervical spondylosis is a spinal injury
caused by having the same sitting position for hours while playing games. On the other
hand, Neurasthenia is a psychological disorder marked especially by easy fatigability and
often by lack of motivation, feelings of inadequacy, and psychosomatic symptoms. It
results from when players engage in hours and hours of game playing with no virtually
sleep intervals in between. This causes sleep sensitivity and disorders which induce
addicted players to wake up several times during the night and as such this leads them

`
suffering from insomnia which can cause mental anxiety and eventually result in nervous
breakdowns and general tiredness.
In Cebu, online game addiction is also becoming an issue. In one of the episode of I-
Wtiness, Kara David was able to interview youngsters namely Doc, Mark and Ice who
resort to illegal activities just to fund their addiction to online gaming. Doc, Mark and Ice
are part of a young generation spending a lot of their time on computer games. Some of
them undergo illegal activities to fund their vices and they can go on gaming for 24-hours
without any sleep. 22-year-old Doc is a scavenger and vagrant, but once he gets his
money out of collecting garbage, he goes to his favorite Internet shop to play. Mark, 20,
is an out of school youth. He lost his investment money and stole from his mother to pay
for his Internet rentals. Fourteen-year-old Ice says he gets his money from homosexuals
in exchange for sexual favors.
In one of the article of PhilStar which is “Battle on Vs Kids’ online games addiction”,
Samuel Pagdilao (Police Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) director
Chief Superintendent) stressed the need for measures to protect children from being
hooked on online computer games. He said many children spend hours in a computer
shop playing online games.

Theoretical Framework
Online gaming addiction could ruin student’s lives because of student’s lack of
time management, wherein they play too much instead of focusing on their
studies. Internet gaming disorder is a major health concern to our generation. Students
who are addicted in playing online games tendencies may be at risk of sleep
deprivation and associated with poor cardio-metabollic health.
Conceptual Framework
There are many reasons why gamers get addicted. First is online gaming as their leisure
activity. Student who gets tired of doing their previous activities might use online gaming
as their new passion. Second is students practice and dominate the game wherein they
wanted their names to be in the leaderboards. Lastly, students who are addicted to
internet games can make them gain more peers.

METHODOLOGY
This chapter presents the methodology that will be employed in the conduct of
this study which includes the discussion of research design and methods, Duration and
Locale of the Study and Data Gathering Tool
Research Design and Methods
The descriptive method of research will be used in this study for it involves gathering
data from the senior high school students of VMUF. Moreover, a survey reports things
the way they are. A descriptive survey study serves the following purposes: to obtain
information that describes the existing phenomena by asking individuals about their
perceptions and experience. Surveys are used to explain/explore the existence of two or
more variables at a given point and they are useful where the study involves population
which is too large for direct observation (Mugenda&Mugenda, 1999). More still,
descriptive studies are concerned with gathering of facts rather than the manipulation of
variables (Koul, 1984). In this regard, the descriptive research design was considered
appropriate as a means of achieving the main objective of the study which was to know
how online gaming addiction affect senior high school students of VMUF.
