CHAPTER V

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION

The study aimed to determine the impacts of playing online games to the

relationship of Ateneo de Naga University Senior High School with their family.

Through this, further study is suggested that entailed how a person can regulate his time

with playing online games and bonding with family.

Online games are rampant these days due to the different contents and themes the

video games companies show. Extreme usage of online games can lead to less time with

family. For this, the better comprehension of the struggles they can lessen their time

playing online games and connect more with their family members.

The study used a qualitative approach to determine how playing online games can

affect one’s relationship with the family and how they are related. The researchers

created a consent form and a survey intended to gather information from the respondents

that would aid the further discussion of the study. After giving out survey and conducting

an interview, the researchers of this study made the final coding and collation of the data

in order to get the desired response to the questions under the statement of the problem.

Through the responses of the chosen participants and the related studies stated in

the review of related literature, most of the evidences exhibited negative impacts of

online gaming to the relationship of Ateneo de Naga Senior High School students with

their family. The students said that playing online games was a means to rest and

recreation; however, the parents and other family members still perceived it as a
 32

detrimental phenomenon. Thus, conflicting conventional and modernized perceptions

were still evident in the contemporary times. This also led to the weakened family

relationships; because, the respondents imparted that there were tendencies wherein they

were forbidden to play in order to relax themselves from the stress. Prohibiting them

from engaging in online gaming resorted to make them feel irritated, and even worsen the

stress which made it harder for them to bond more with their family resulting to the

widening of the gap in the relationship.

Recommendations

Having all the results summarized and concluded, this study may be an effective

means to spread awareness and establish greater understanding towards senior high

school students who play online games and their relationship with their family. The

following statements are suggestions and improvements that may be beneficial to the

following:

Respondents

The researchers recommend that the respondents learn to make a schedule for

their playing of online games to ensure that they will balance their time well and have

enough time for other things. The respondents should regulate their online gaming and

spend more time with their family to improve their relationship.

Parents

The researchers recommend that the parents offer moral support to their children

to promote positive reinforcement. In connection, parents should also keep their

children’s online gaming in check and guarantee their safety by making sure that their

child plays in moderation.

 33

Other Senior High Students Who Are Online Gamers

These individuals should seek the ways on how to improve their lifestyle. There

should be a balance between online gaming and bonding with family. Online gaming

should not always be the means of rest and recreation, and students should be aware of

the impacts of online gaming to them as individuals, and also to their relationship with

other people, most especially their family.

Ateneo de Naga University Senior High School Students

The Ateneo de Naga Senior High School students should engage more in a study

concerning the concept, advantages and disadvantages of online gaming. In doing so, the

students can actively participate in contributing to the betterment of avid student gamers

by giving them awareness of the possible impacts of online gaming through the thought

concept gained.

School

The school should promulgate policies addressing the overuse of online gaming

so as to prevent any distractions that students may encounter which can affect their

academic performance and holistic growth. A platform concerning online gaming must be

created so the student body is more aware of such matters. It may be in the form of

conducting seminars which tackles online gaming.

Future Researchers

The researchers recommend developing studies related to this by utilizing the data

in this research to create related researches to this with a larger sample population and

also adding other variables and questions that might prove necessary concepts upon the

study of online gaming and its impacts to the relationship with the family.

143 dae to hassle masyado. Ginibo mo na kuta. Tas ika pa na. Na-sostock man lang yan,

144 nagiging ano masabi ka ahh stress ganun. Tapos mafefeel tas hashtag depressed.*laughs*

148 *laughs* pero halangkaw ang ano ko, grades ko tas.

149 A: Sana all. Photographic memory yiee.

151 Tas minsan dae na nakaka-pay attention sa class ta ano iba ang iniisip, nag-dedaydream.

152 Tapos mentally man, tong pag sige kang kawat, na-iisolate mo sadiri mo sa mundo.

153 Nagigi kang garo, pirmi ka nang may anxiety or whatever. Garo kawat kang 2 weeks

154 straight, luwas ka sa harong, “luh si ate sa cashier, pano magbakal?” *laughs* arog

155 kayan.

157 M: Actually ano, nag-aano siya… Ang ibang mga gamer kaya, pag nasasakitan sinda

158 iniisip ninda na kawat, na may mga struggle whatever. Ganun, nakakaapekto man siya.

159 Kaso kung minsan napili ko na magkawat kesa i-solve to, syempre dae tultol.
 53

160 Nakakaapekto man ganun.

161 O: Socially po, pano po siya nakakaapekto?

162 M: Socialy.. ahh yan nga sabi ko naglaro ka nang ilang araw, di ka nakalabas. Pero may

163 isa pa niyan na kung naadik kang masyado, tapos, first day of class, ano parang di mo

164 tuloy kakausapin ang ibang kaklase kasi, “Ay baka di ako ma-gets nito”, kasi lahat ng

165 iniisip mo, ang iniisip lang laro. Parang puwede namang iba ang sabihin mo eh like, “Hi”

166 pero parang ang ginawa ko kasi is naghanap lang ako ng makaka-gets sa akin. Yun yung

167 problema na hindi ako nag-open. Nung umpisa lang pero nung nagka-groupings na

168 whatever, okay naman socially. Kaso yan, another thing is pag naglalaro ako, sa

169 messenger, ‘di ako namamansin.

170 A: *Coughs* excuse me. May ano po may instances ba na kung saan may nasira nang

171 friendship dahil sa paglalaro mo ng online games?

172 M: Meron. *laughs* tinalo ko nang 10 times.

173 A: Uhm okay lang if it’s personal, ok lang naman po na ‘di mo i-share pero kung okay

174 lang sige lang po.

175 M: Okay lang nga, na-resolve naman yun kasi ang nangyari is parang nag-ano siya, yung

176 dispute sa real life. Sabi niya, “i-settle natin dun sa best of ten”. Tas naglagay pa siyang

177 pera. Tas yan sabi ko, “wag mo yang gawin” tas inapod niya pa akong, “Ahh weaksh*t ka

178 man” arog kayan. Tas ang nangyari dae ko siya iniwal. si mga barakada ko nag-iriwalan

179 sinda dahil duman.

180 A: Ahh so ika na-witness mo.

181 M: like what the f*ck? Sabi ko *laughs*

182 O: After playing online games, how do you feel?

 54

183 M: Ahh minsan accomplishment pero minsan garo, “Ahh ok maturog na ko ta may klase

184 saaga”. Garo siya addiction talaga.

185 O: What are your realizations in engaging in the trend of playing online games?

186 M: Ah na-realize ko lang na dae mo man siya kaipuhan gibuhon na garo buhay mo, lalo

187 na pag student ka. I mean, may argument na puwede mong pagkakitaan kaso ano pag

188 naglaos na yan, sain ka mabagsak? Kaya ano binabalanse ko na ta syempre dapat to have-

189 to enjoy leisure, entertainment, dapat ano ma-settle mo muna sadiri mo, nagibo mo na

190 gabos na project or ano. Tas parakawat ka lang pag may trabaho ka na whatever. Kaya

191 yan narealize ko na dae dapat siya gibuhon na mundo mo gabos. Garo man ang bata

192 *laughs*

193 A: Ay wow yiee. Garo nag-seserve naman siya as motivation saimo pero chill chill lang

194 muna ta amay pa, dugay pa kita ta estudyante pa man.

195 M: When you’re done you can play all you want.

196 A: Yes, yes.

197 O: What advise can you give to other students who find playing online games as

198 detrimental?

199 M: Ahh ang advice ko man lang talaga kaya iyo yan ngane, mag-pursue ka muna ning

200 goal mo ta example LOL, pag nawara yan garo ma ka naman, ma naman kuwenta ang

201 existence mo, everything. Tas sa mga mental state ninda, tong mga sige lang kawat, dae

202 yan maray ta pag garo nagfafall apart ka na garo tigpaparakawatan mo lang. Ma ka nang

203 tig ma ka nang tig-aano. Dae ka nagiging aware na nag-dedeteriorate ka na and yan pag

204 arog kaiyan maghanap ning someone na willing to listen. Dae man sa pag-generalize pero

205 pagsige kang kawat na ma ka nang ano, may problema na talaga saimo. Tig-label na
 55

206 ngani kang DOH na hilang yan. Yuhn man lang.

207 O: Why did you choose playing online games as a means of rest and recreation ather than

208 other means of unwinding?

209 M: Puon aki pa kaya ako, si papa ko sigeng kawat. Dyan ako nag-start.
