Title: Attitudes about video games

Authors: Duggan, Maeve

Year of Publication:  2015

as-a-gamer/

Note/ Important Information: The content of games has come under more scrutiny as they have grown
more well known and have integrated themselves into popular culture. The study asked Americans if
they believed certain possible effects of games to be true of most games, not true of most games, or
true of certain games but not others in order to evaluate public attitudes toward some of these current
issues.

Title: Internet gaming addiction: current perspectives

Authors: Psychol Res Behav Manag

Year of Publication: 2013 Nov 14

Note/ Important Information: Online gaming rose in popularity in the 2000s, and studies of gaming
addiction on the internet started to appear, detailing the drawbacks of excessive gaming, how common
it is, and the risk factors that go along with it. The opening of specialized treatment facilities in South-
East Asia, the US, and Europe is a reflection of the expanding demand for qualified assistance. It is
suggested that a complete understanding of the phenomenon of Internet gaming addiction is only
possible by comprehending the allure of online gaming, its setting, and its neurobiologic connections.

Title: Understanding online gaming addiction and treatment issues for adolescents.

Year of Publication: 2009

Note/ Important Information: Massive Muti-user Online Role-Playing Games or MMORPGs as they
are often called are one of the fastest growing forms of Internet addiction, especially among children
and teenagers. Like an addiction to alcohol or drugs, gamers show several classic signs of addiction
(Grusser, Thalemann, and Griffiths, 2007). They become preoccupied with gaming, lie about their
gaming use, lose interest in other activities just to game, withdrawal from family and friends to game,
and use gaming as a means of psychological escape (Leung, 2004). This paper explores the emergence
of online gaming addiction and its impact on individuals and families.

Title: Predicting crowdsourced decisions on toxic behavior in online games

Authors: Jeremy Blackburn, Haewoon Kwak

Year of Publication: 2014

Link: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/2566486.2567987

Note/ Important Information: Negative, or toxic, conduct is one issue that gamers who play
competitive games face. The largest eSports title, League of Legends, uses a crowdsourcing tool called
the Tribunal to determine whether or not a player who has been flagged as toxic needs to be penalized.
The Tribunal is a two-stage mechanism that requests reports from gamers who directly witness toxic
behavior as well as from human specialists who examine compiled reports. This approach has
successfully dealt with the ambiguous character of toxic behavior by relying on multiple votes, but it
comes at a high cost in terms of money, time, and labor. In this article, we suggest a supervised
learning method for forecasting crowdsourcing decisions on harmful behavior using big collections of
labeled data;

Title: Online gaming drawbacks (The Philippine Star)

Authors: John M. Destacamento

Year of Publication: October 13, 2012

Link:https://www.philstar.com/opinion/2012/10/13/859169/online-gaming-drawbacks

Note/ Important Information: The advent of computers and internet cafeterias has eaten up some of the
Filipino youth's prominent identity. Entertainment for the youth now comes in a form of a computer
set and online games, most of which seem to promote and uphold violence. Many studies indicate that
violent computer games can have very negative effects on children. The General Aggression Model
(GAM) indicates that violent computer games can cause short term aggression. Computer games are
more prone to exciting aggression than other entertainment because of the interactive nature of the
computer games. A child who is conditioned to play computer games may find it difficult to socialize
with other children.

Title: Child physical abuse: factors influencing the associations between self-reported exposure and
self-reported health problems: a cross-sectional study

Authors: Eva-Maria Annerbäck, Carl Göran Svedin & Örjan Dahlström

Year of Publication: 25 July 2018

Link: https://capmh.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13034-018-0244-1

Note/ Important Information: Child physical abuse (CPA) is an extensive public health problem
because of its associations with poor health outcomes. The aim of this study was to examine which of
the background factors of CPA committed by a parent or other caregiver relates to self-reported poor
health among girls and boys (13; 15 and 17 years old). In a cross-sectional study in a Swedish county
(n = 8024) a path analysis was performed to evaluate a model where all background variables were put
as predictors of three health-status variables: mental; physical and general health problems. They used
a model where all background variables were put as predictors of three health-related variables:
mental, physical and general health problems. The distribution of these variables was different for
different combinations of background factors. Child abuse as a Path Analysis of Abuse (CPA) shows
that frequency and severity of abuse (boys only) and having experienced CPA during the last year is
significantly associated with poor health as well as socioeconomic load in the families. Foreign
background was significantly negatively associated with all three health indicators especially for girls.
Neither mother nor father as perpetrator remained significant in the path analysis. Father-abuse was
associated with poorer mental health if severe abuse was reported. Poor mental health was also
associated with mild father-abuse.

Despite the limitations that cross-sectional studies imply, this study provides new knowledge about
factors associated with poor health among physically abused children. Understanding how different
factors contribute to different health outcomes is important in future research and needs further studies.
It describes details of CPA that have significant associations to different aspects of poor health and
thus what needs to be addressed by professionals within mental health providers and social services.
