CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

As the generation continuously changing, in this modern era, the internet has

become prominent, the technology is continuously evolving and online games, as a

part of developed technology, are introduced and became more and more popular

especially these days because many students are staying in their homes, they had a

lot of time doing something entertain their selves like playing mobile legends and

other online games, which became one of the habits of the students on their daily

living. Online games are technically video games that can be played on laptops,

smartphones, computer, or any advanced technology with a connection through the

internet or any other computer network available.

However, studies show that there are negatives effect of playing online games on

the health of students who are addicted to this internet gaming addiction, studies

show that people with internet gaming addiction are more likely to be aggressive,

depressed, and anxious. The main mechanism that leads to those comorbidities is

their inability to regulate and control their emotions, such as anger, sadness, fear, or

other emotions.

There is a strong link between mood disorders and internet addiction. Internet

addiction is a range of behaviors that refers to the excessive use of internet which

ends up affecting many aspects of a person’s life. Excessive computer use becomes

problematic when it interferes with one’s relationship, work, or school. Signs that are

indicative of internet addiction can be physical or emotional. The most common

symptoms of internet addiction include unintended weight gain or loss, poor personal

1 1
hygiene, backache, headaches, increased, irritability, anxiety, and depression. Both

physical and emotional symptoms of internet addiction are a result of remaining

inactive for long periods and becoming dependent on the use of the internet. The

causes of internet addiction are genetics, structural brain changes, environmental

factors, and underlying mental health conditions which all play a role in the

developing of the conditions. There is increasing evidence of biological and genetic

predisposition to addictive behaviors around computer. The effect of internet

addiction can manifest in both physical and emotional ways including bad posture,

carpal tunnel syndrome, vision problems, damaged personal relationships, and

mental health concerns such as anxiety and depression. The lack of interpersonal

interactions can take a huge toll on an internet addict’s offline personal relationships.

Spending a significant amount of time online may lead to reduced time spent

available for others alternatives leisure activities and social interactions resulting in

increased loneliness and sadness.

Online gaming has become one of the most addictive internet activities to date.

Based on established researchers, the thesis is interested in discovering the reasons

behind why young people start to play online games as well as how playing such

games affect the study habit and daily live to them.

They may also neglect their other responsibilities as they are crouched over their

phones trying to get ahead in the game. This is when it becomes excessive gaming,

or even problematic gaming. There are those who also get treated for a behavioral

addiction called gaming addiction.

2 1
Often the decline in academic performance is the most easily observed, but the

relationship between playing video games and soft aspects such as feelings of

loneliness, loss of self-esteem, social anxiety and social skills is often overlooked.

Online addiction involves playing games uncontrollably for many hours. Students use

online games to relieve them of their stresses but the excessive use of online games

may lead to worsened learning ability, concentration problems, poor academic

performance and decreased interactions with other people.

The higher the intensity of playing the mobile legend game, the higher the level of

student academic procrastination, and vice versa if the student has a low intensity of

playing the mobile legends game, the lower the student’s academic procrastinations.

However, it is worth nothing that the majority of studies focuses on the negative

effects of online games, while positive effects are neglected. In fact, playing online

games at a moderate level could be beneficial to player’s personal psychological

growth and interpersonal relationships. In terms of emotional experience, existing

research on the emotional impact of online games suggest that they have the

potential to reduce stress, depression, and obtain happiness. In the process of

psychological development, senior high school students cognitive, memory, and

other mental skills are proved to be enhanced by online games. There is evidence

that games have the potential to provoke thought about the player’s personal

development and ideals and increase the sense of self-realization if the players have

strong ability. In social life, online games also established the value of social

connectedness and enhances the sense of interaction. (Sublette and Mullan,2010)

argue that through online games “socialization may just shift in focus: while real-

world relationship eroded for some players.” It is further proposed that intimacy in

3 1
games will also extend to offline real life, and shared game experienced will reinforce

offline communication.

MOBA games focus on personality development and teamwork in battle. In other

words, electronic space expands social communication to the virtual field and

increases the team cooperation and consciousness, leading to diverse

communication ways. Besides, in terms of learning, online games are proven to help

students engage in learning activities.

Existing research confirms that the academic performance and satisfaction of

Chinese students positively impact on the continued use if the “glory of kings” and

promote reconstruction of the player’s social image (Chen and Chang,2020). As

mentioned above, previous studies have examined various positive aspects of online

games, but the studies are based on foreign cultural context. Research subjects from

different perceptions and influences on online games, so it is cultural significant to

study the positive influence of online games on the Chinese students.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

Computer game addiction generally refers to an excessive, unhealthy amount of

playing computer games. Rather than engaging in the real world, an addicted user

devotes the majority of his or her time to gaming ( Conrad, 2011). The issue of game

addiction is getting spread widely and uncontrollable. Gaming addiction became a

mysterious problem which is still difficult to treated, more terrifying than alcohol or

drugs addiction. Whereas, in fact, Dr Shumaila Yousafzai (2009) from Cardiff

Business School said popular online video games warned players not to overuse

their products.

These warning messages also suggest that the online video game industry might

know how high the percentage of over-users is, how much time gamers spend

playing and what specific features make a particular game more engrossing and

addictive than others (Yousafzai, 2009). In other hand, Cyber psychologist Dr Zaheer

Hussain, from the University of Derby, said warning messages were not enough. As

a first step online game developers and publishers need to look into the structural

features of the game design, for example the character development, rapid

absorption rate, and multi-player features which could make them addictive and or

problematic for some gamers (Hussain,2008).

Parents across the globe are increasingly concerned about their sons online gaming

habits. They are sure that there is a problem but counselors unfamiliar with online

gaming addiction don’t understand how seductive they can be (Young, 2009,p.4).

Fraser (2012) mentions that kids are among the most vulnerable to video game

addiction, experts said, and may become violent when their "drug" is taken away.

7
Video games and online addiction usually point to other mental health problems

including anxiety, depression, and trouble forming healthy relationship.

Kimberli Young (2009, p.12) says, not only are children, teenagers, and college

students effected by online gaming addiction, but a growing number of adults are

becoming hooked to online gaming. While such cases are rare, mental-health

professionals say the fantasy worlds offered by computer and video games can

becomethe stuff of very real addictions that destroy marriages and careers. People

of all ages are quickly becoming immersed in this virtual fantasy world whereby they

can easily escape problems in their lives.As in any treatment program, the primary

step to take in the path, according to

Kimberly (2009, p.18), to recovery is to accept and not refute “denial,” a defense

mechanism that addicts frequently employ and that effectively stops them from

accepting treatment. Once this obstacle is conquered, treatment can be performed

more effectively than it would otherwise. Tracy Miller (2013) add because computer

game addiction is a new development in the world of mental health, treatments are

not as well established as those for depression, anxiety, anger, etc. Most

interventions take a cognitive-behavioral approach which involve changing how the

addict thinks about the addiction.

8
Research Hypothesis

The adolescent who engage in online gaming with escape motives and increased

online gaming time have higher probability for depressive, musculoskeletal, and

psychosomatic symptoms compared to adolescents with other online gaming

motives and/or less online gaming time.

Research suggest that excessive online gaming may lead to symptoms commonly

experienced by substance addict. Since gaming are particularly appealing to children

and adolescent, these individuals may be more at risk than other groups of

developing gaming addiction.

Review of Related Literature

These researchers we study about the psychological factor, whether that is factor to

the online game addiction among students. Unlike with the substance abuse, the

biological aspect of videogame addiction in uncertain. Research suggests gambling

elevates dopamine, but there’s more to addiction, 2010). The addict suffers from to

escape the real world and change the perception of self-worth (Rooji Online video

game addictio. Both are searching for a way to make they feel better. The lure of a

fantasy world is especially pertinent to online role-playing games. These are games

in which a player assumes the role of a fictional character and interacts with other

players in virtual world. An intelligent child who is unpopular at school can feel

dominant in the game. The virtual life becomes more appealing than real life. Too

much gaming may seem relatively harmless compared with the dangers of a drug

overdose, but experts say video game addiction can ruin lives. Children who play

four to five hours per day have no time for socializing, doing homework, or playing

sports leaving little for normal social development. According to Lan Ting Huang

(2003), by playing the online game features online gamer participants may view the

games as a source of providing diversion and filling time. “The biggest risk factor for

pathological video game use seems to be playing games to escape from daily life, “

said Joe Hilgard, lead author of the study and a doctoral candidate in the

Department of Psychological Sciences a Missouri.“ Individuals who play games to

get away from their lives or pretend to be other people seem to be those most at risk

for becoming part of a vicious cycle. These gamers avoid their problems by playing

games, which in turn interferes with their lives because they’re so busy playing

games( Peters 7 et al, 2007). Internet addiction gives the gamer to the unique

13
psychological properties which is the user increase their use of these internet

services the utility they gain from each usage does not diminish, leading not only to

self-destructive addiction but also to social ills. When a problem, playing video

games can interfere with real-life obligations such as work, and players can end up

lying about playing video games. The study found that “problematic” video game use

can have similar effects as other addictive activities, such as abusing alcohol (Ingon

Kang, 2011).

Internet addiction is a relatively new phenomenon in which social workers and

psychologists are unaware of and are thus unprepared to treat at present. Mu (2006)

points out the some of the main symptoms of Internet and online game addictions,

including the decrease in friend and face to face interactions with others, become

infrequent while the member of friends in the virtual world exponentially increases.

Ultimately, the psychokinesis becomes weaker and weaker over time. This means

that after a long time of playing online games, the players begin to realize the

dangers of online gaming. At this point players generally try to play less at they try to

orient themselves back to the demands of society. However this is mostly

unsuccessful as it most always ends up failing. Zhang (2007) and Zhou (2007), who

also researched on the same topic, reported different results on the online game

addiction and the finding supported at the symptoms. With regards to undergraduate

students who where addicted to the Internet or online games, Zhang (2007)

indicated that most of these students had bad grades in their universities. Moreover,

Zhou (2007) stated that the physical symptoms of Internet and insomnia, Cervical

spondylitis, a fairly common symptom of many MMOG players is essentially a spinal

injury results from keeping the same sitting position for hours while playing games.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the result of this study are in agreement with the findings of other

studies around the world. As the result show, addiction to mobile legends affects

various dimensions of health and increases physical problems, anxiety, and

depression, while decreases social functioning disorder.

The researcher was able to conclude, these statements based on the findings of the

study.

1. Both male and female are players of mobile legends at the age of 18.

2. Most of the mobile legends players, played for fun and avoid stress, family

problem, anxiety, and depression.

3. Most of the mobile legends players don’t want to suffer their grade because of

mobile legends and still want to increase more their academic standing than

their rank in mobile legends.

4. There is still a connection between the performance of the students in school

and their performance in class but most of the students still choose studies

between temporary happiness.

29
Recommendations

Based on the foregoing findings of the study, here are some recommendations to

lessen the sever interaction of the students of Naval National High School on online

gaming specifically Mobile Legends: Bang Bang.

After some interviews, we could say that the students of the Naval National High

School know what are the importance of academics than mobile legends, it is

impressive but yet there still some students who do not know what will be the results

of addiction to online gaming (Mobile Legends: Bang Bang). We may recommend

that the student should try to engage theirselves to some recreational activities

during their leisure time. Recreational activities like basketball, badminton, volleyball,

for them to experience real action and to achieve a healthy body for more active

students of Naval National High School.

Aside from that, we have recommendations for the whole community.

1. For the school administration. May we suggest that they host some

recreational activity for the students to be closer to it than online gaming.

2. For the teachers. May we recommend that the teachers push and motivate

their students to engage theirselves in recreational activity.

3. As for parents. Support and encourage their children in playing outdoor

games than online gaming.

4. For the community. Let us do our part, encourage the students, plan

programs that will help the students to be more active on outdoor activities.

.

Adviser: LEA D. CAÑETE

This study investigated the impact of mobile legends usage to the health of

grade 12 GAS students of Naval National High School. This study used a

questionnaire regarding the impact of social media usage of mental health to the

students to collect the findings. 70 respondents have been selected grade 12

GAS as a subject for this study.

It was found that impact of mobile legends usage to the health of the grade

12 GAS students is often on the students. Moreover, most of the Grade 12 GAS

students sometimes have a negative effect of mobile legends addiction to the

health. The reason of the negative impact of social media usage on their mental
