Pengaruh Impulsive terhadap Internet Gaming Disorder pada Remaja Awal

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of Impulsivity on Internet gaming disorder in early adolescents. Impulsivity describes behavior that acts without planning (Patton & Barrat, 1995). While internet gaming disorder is the excessive use of games so that many activities are interrupted (Griffiths, 2014) Participants in this study totaled 349 early adolescents (x ̅ = 13.32 years, SD = 0.77). The method used in this study is a quantitative method with the Barratt Impulsiveness scale research instrument (Patton & Barratt, 1995) and internet gaming disorder (Rangkuti, 2021). Based on the R test, it is found that the R² is 17% with a p value of 0.001, which means that there is a significant effect of 17%. Meanwhile, based on the category, the results show that 53.6% of early adolescents experience internet gaming disorder and 23.2% of adolescents are classified as very impulsive behavior.
