Today the game is, more and more often, constituted by the videogame, which represents an irresistible and immediate opportunity to respond to the \u201cplayful need\u201d both in adults and in children and teenagers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If we think of traditional games and modern virtual games, we can identify some substantial differences:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Traditional games favor socialization, while video games are more \u201cexperienced\u201d in solitude (or in the illusion of a long-distance relationship)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Traditional games stimulate identification with real people even if they play different roles, while in video games, the risk is to identify with virtual characters, often endowed with magical powers or immortality, which in the most severe cases can lead to the emulation of actions dangerous<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Traditional games represent a link between generations, as they are often handed down from parent to child, on the contrary, virtual games usually have the effect of \u201cseparating\u201d the generations<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Violent or openly aggressive actions rarely develop with traditional games, while in video games; this type of action is widely spread and appreciated.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In light of these fundamental differences, it is not difficult to imagine the psychological and physical problems that addiction to video games can lead to. Among the main consequences can be:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">School and work difficulties, such as insufficient attention, concentration, learning difficulties, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Impairment of social relationships through isolation quarrels over grabbing video games, relationships focused on virtual communication, in the case of role-playing games.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Health impairment (e.g., overweight due to sedentary lifestyle)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sleep, eating, or mood disorders<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Psychic problems of a dissociative nature reduce the faculty of criticism or detachment from reality: spending many hours in front of a video game can cause a fracture between the real and virtual world and, especially in adolescence, compromise. Healthy development of identity.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Financial difficulty: Video game addiction can often have similar effects as a gambling addiction. People tend to spend ever-increasing amounts on video games, especially with the rise of microtransactions. For example, a gamer that was addicted to Path of Exile, a fantasy RPG, spent upwards of a hundred thousand dollars on the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.poefun.com\"><b>path of exile currency<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, which does not have any real-life value usable in the game.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Like any addiction, video game addiction also involves phenomena of tolerance (the person is forced to gradually increase the \u201cdoses\u201d of time spent playing to obtain the desired level of excitement) and abstinence (the person manifests psycho-physical symptoms such as restlessness, agitation, difficulty concentrating, sleep and mood disorders, obsessive thoughts related to video games, when unable to play). Furthermore, there may be a tendency to engage in \u201cillegal\u201d actions (e.g., bullying) or lie to get money for video games.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How do you identify a person addicted to video games? Here are the main signs of recognition:<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He spends a lot of time in front of video games (or would devote it if he were not prevented)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tends to fall asleep at school, at work, or while doing other activities<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Neglects activities, such as study and work, and other interests such as sports, friendships, hobbies<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He prefers to be in front of the video game rather than spending time with friends<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Shows a withdrawal from other social activities<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Play secretly<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He tends to be apathetic or short-tempered when unable to play<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gets angry when interrupted while playing or when prevented from playing<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tends to have game-focused thoughts and fantasies, even when engaging in other activities<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He tries to always to get new video games, or insists on buying them<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If he can afford it, he spends considerable sums of money on video games<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Has alterations or abnormalities inhabits (nutrition, personal hygiene, physiological functions, sleep)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Have physical symptoms, such as headache, back pain, neck pain, red eyes, visual disturbances, carpal tunnel syndrome.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Playing is a fundamental element for the healthy development of the person: through playing, the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[158],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16484","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 5.0.1.1 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Playing is a fundamental element for the healthy development of the person: through playing, the child learns rules and indispensable roles in the processes of identification and socialization.
