Self-Interview on Topic Feasibility

1. What is my main considerations/motivation for researching on the topic?
My personal reason to study the subject of game addiction is because I personally affected by it and want to
know more about it and why I behave because of it the way I do. They want to be able to illustrate more
information about it so that other people like me know about it. What it really is and why we suffer terribly
from it and ways to successfully fight against it.
2. Is my topic relevant? Why? What would be the significance of my research topic?
My topic is relevant because my research topic was mostly related to my experience during the first quarter.
Most studies about game addiction were proven that playing games too much can affect your personal habit:
forgotten to eat and forgotten to sleep, it can also affect your physical health and mental health. Depression
and anxiety are the main factors of exposing yourself into games. The significance of this topic is very
impactful for those people facing mental and physical illness to know more about what games can do to us
and to find efficient ways to solve this problem.
3. What are the perceived challenges or difficulties that I will be facing in researching about this
topic?
I expect that there will be more facts and studies in conducting this research. However, my personal views
and opinions on the matter would be an hinderance, but I will remember to formally write about it with there
is no needless filler to be considered a successful and satisfying research paper.
