REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

Stated by Hassan (2011), online gaming is good and bad. Good for
those who know their limits and bad for those who fix themselves in the seats for
long hours and cut off the interaction with rest of the world.

for “gaming addiction” yields lists of physical and psychological symptoms from
dry-eyes and carpal tunnel syndrome to “problems with school or work,”
offered as indicative of problem usage behavior.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

Turkle (1995) found out that online games enabled self-exploration and
discovery that users extended and idealized their existing personalities or try
out new ways of relating to one another that can positively affect real life
relationships.
Rheingold (1993) stated that the one reason for the popularity of online
games was that they meld the fun and challenge of video games with the
rewarding social aspects of online community. Participation in online
communities allows us to stay in touch with old friends, meet new people, learn,
and share information.
 CHAPTER 2
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

• Moreover, online gaming has been separated by some researchers into

three main types: stand-alone games, local and wide network (LAWN) games
and massively multiplayer online role-playing (MMORP) games. Griffiths, et
al. (2003).
 CHAPTER 2
REVIEW OF RELATED STUDIES

In the study conducted by Dumrique and Castillo (2018). Their

respondents know that they need to control themselves in order to function well
in their class that is why they only play games during vacation and weekends
with a lot of time compared when they have classes.
Even though they play online games; they know how to socialize well and
they can perform very well when it comes to academic performance. However, it
is inevitable not to play even for half an hour especially when they are
accustomed to it.
 CHAPTER 2
REVIEW OF RELATED STUDIES

Cermino et al. (2018) The students use of social networking and mobile-
online games in terms of frequency and types of applications are the following;
majority of the students commonly use Facebook in their smart phones; they
spend most 0 to 8 hours in a day and visit daily on their social media account;
and most of the respondents are not playing a mobile-online games on their
smartphones but some spent 0 to 8 hours in a day and it is said that mobile-
online games such as Mobile Legends, Clash of Clans, Arena of Valor and Rules
of Survival as not necessarily activity. Also, majority of the students considered
that social media helps their studies sometimes and sometimes mobile-online
games give them opportunity to think critically sometimes.

On the other hand, Wyatt (2013 ) it also manifests aggressive

behaviors such as gets in many fights, cruelty, bullying, or meanness to
others, doesn’t seem to feel guilty after misbehaving; develops attention
problems like daydreaming (getting lost in thought and staring blankly);
exhibits a decline in school achievements(repeated low grade, poor
school work). On academic performance by subject, the pupil-respondents
generally received a fair (80-84) to good (85-89) rating. Thus, their
rating means that playing computer games do not have significant effect
on their academic performance. However, there is an impact on their
behavior based on various researches.
