ABSTRACT

The Relationship Between Playing Digital Games and Social Behavior of ACLC Senior
High School Students
This study examines the relationship between digital gaming and social behavior

among senior high school students. Concerns about the influence of digital games on

social behavior, especially among adolescents, have been raised. The study used a

quantitative research design, collecting data from a sample of senior high school students

through surveys and standardized measures. The findings suggest a positive relationship

between digital gaming and social behavior, with the hypothesis positing a positive

relationship. The findings will inform educators, parents, and policy makers about the

potential positive and negative impacts of digital gaming on social behavior, promoting

responsible gaming habits and supporting students' social development.
