The relationship between game genre, monetization strategy and symptoms of gaming disorder in a clinical sample of adolescents

CONCLUSIONS: This study reveals that game genre preference is influenced by sex, age, and certain psychiatric diagnoses. The categorizing of games into genres is increasingly complex and our research introduces a novel categorization in a developing research field. The result of this study suggests that the monetization model is important to consider while trying to understand the relationship between game characteristics and GD symptoms.PMID:38571884 | PMC:PMC10989217 | DOI:10.48101/ujms.v129.10386
