The study population includes all students in the second year of public guidance
schools in Isfahan city in the educational year of 2009-2010. The sample size includes
564 students selected by multiple steps stratified sampling method. Data were
collected by using General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) scale and a questionnaire
on addiction to computer games. To do this research, at first 3 districts (2-4) were
selected randomly among five districts of Isfahan Board of Education. From each
district, one boy and one girl guidance school was chosen randomly. In total, 600
students were chosen for filling the questionnaires, after obtaining the permission from
Isfahan Board of Education. The questionnaires distributed among sample. 564
students filled the questionnaires and returned to the researcher.
The data collection instrument was included the form of GHQ-28 inventory of
physical and psychological health measurement. Another tool was Antwan's (2008)
questionnaire for addiction to computer. The Cranbach's alpha was reported 0.92 by
this researcher,11 since the validity and reliability of this questionnaire was not
assessed for Iran; 30 students were selected as sample for a pilot study and after data
analysis, and the reliability was measured 0.76. This questionnaire was based on
Lickert scale and scored from 1 to 5. 1was for very little and 5 score was considered
for very much.
The GHQ 28 inventory is created by Goldberg (1972) for diagnosing
psychological disorders in various centers and environments. The questions are about
the psychological condition in past month, including signs such as thought, abnormal
emotions and dimensions of behavior that are observable. Therefore, questions

emphasize on the situation (here and now). This questionnaire is the most known
instrument for screening in psychiatry, and has a significant effect on developing
researches. This questionnaire is in forms of 30. 60. 12 and 28 questions.11
The GHQ-28 which is used in this study was standardized by Palahang12 (2005) and
Yaqubi (2005)13 in Iran. This questionnaire was used to assess health signs including
physical complain, sleep disorder, disorder of social functioning and depression.
(Zamani,2009)
Local Literature
The attainment of the objectives of the study was made possible through the
utilization of the descriptive method of research. The sampling techniques were made
through a purposive sampling, where only those students who played on-line games
were the only respondents selected to meet the population size of the study. With a
total of 126 respondents coming from PUP-LHS, all of them returned the survey
questionnaire – the main instrument of data gathering. Statistical treatment of data was
done through the use of percentage, weighted mean, and Pearson r Correlation.
Based on the results of the study, the following salient findings were drawn:
As according to the result, in terms of playing on-line games, the overall weighted
mean is 3.08 which lies on the verbal interpretation of “Sometimes”. And with the
P a g e | 10
indicators “I play on-line games only on week-ends” and “I repeatedly play on-line
games after losing” gathered 3.37 interpreted as “often” got the highest mean.
While the level of assessment of the respondents on playing online games in the aspect
of number of hours spent in playing was assessed as 3-5 hours with the weighted mean
of 2.75.
On the other hand, in the types of games played, `League of Legends' got the
highest mean which is 3.48 interpreted as “Sometimes”. Generally, 2.38 is the
computed grand mean of types of games played and considered as “seldom” in verbal
interpretation.
However, the self-assessment of the respondents in playing On-Line Games on their
Social Behavior got an overall weighted mean of 3.2 and arrays that the verbal
interpretation of all the indicators show that the students from Grade 7- Grade 10
assessed that they all agree doing the listed indicators. This shows that even after
playing online games it does not affect their social behavior and it has a positive
effect.
As per the academic performance of the respondents the result shows that from the
126 responses, most of the students that plays on-line games obtain a grade ranging
from 86-90 interpreted as “Good” that got 68 or 53.97%. Followed by a grade ranging
from 81-85 with a description of “satisfactory” got 49 from the respondents or
38.89%. Next is the grade ranging from 91-95 which means “Very Good” got the
P a g e | 11
second to least, which is 7 of the respondents or 5.56%, and lastly, the remaining
number which is 2 or 1.59% is the grade ranging from 75-80.
And in terms of the frequency of playing online games and the respondent's
social behavior. The indicators `I play on-line games before going to bed' got a
computed p-value of 0.040 and `I play on-line games only on week-ends' obtained a p-
value of 0.002 which is less than the level of significance of 0.05. This means that the
null hypothesis is rejected and it is significant in this study. And all remaining
variables resulted as “not significant”.
On the other hand, the relationship between the number of hours in playing and
the social behavior of the respondents does not have significant relationship since all
of the p-value are greater than the level of significance of 0.05.
While in terms of types of on-line games being played and its relationship in
the social behavior of the students, it reveals that the null hypothesis has been rejected
with p-values of Minecraft (0.030), Defense of the Ancient (0.019), Farmville (0.014),
Smite (0.014), and Candy Crush (0.004) are lower than the level of significance of
0.05.
And lastly, the frequency of playing on-line games and the academic performance of
the respondents the only indicator that has a significance is “I play on-line games only
on week-ends” that obtain a p-value of 0.026 lower than the level of significance of
0.05 and indicates that the null hypothesis is rejected. This reflects to the grade of the
respondents having good grades even when they play on-line games.
P a g e | 12
In tenures of the types of on-line games being played by respondents and their
academic performance the result of their p-value is higher than the level of
significance 0.05 therefore the null hypothesis is accepted.
Likewise, the number of hours playing on-line games and its relation to the academic
performance all indicators got p-value higher than the level of significance of 0.05
remarking to not significant. Resulted to its null hypothesis being accepted.
As the respondents assessed, it can be inferred that Playing On-Line Games results
to a positive effect in the social behavior of the respondents. Even if the respondents
play online games still the personal interaction with others are not affected. They still
do have their friends personally and are able to socialize effectively.
Meanwhile, since most of the student respondents are male and they are more
frequently engaged in playing on-line games, the school administrators and teacher in
collaboration of the parents might consider to promote physical health, sportsmanship,
camaraderie and pro-social skills to the students instead of getting engaged with online
games.
