Over time, have you or your child been spending much more time thinking about playing video game, learning about video-game playing, or planning the next opportunity to play?
Do you or your child spend more and more time and/or money on video games in order to feel the same amount of excitement?
Those are two sample symptoms of video game addiction according to a study reported in Gentile 2009 Psychological Science.
There were 11 similar questions in their study as reported in the paper. If your answer is "Yes" to 6 or more of those questions, you are classified as a pathological gamer (video game addict) according to the criterion of that particular study.
Those 11 symptom-related questions are put into the survey on the right side of this page.
