Abstract

Introduction: Games play an essential role in the psychosomatic development of children. In recent years, however, computer games have occupied much of children's leisure time. This study evaluates the impact of computer games on various aspects of psychosomatic development. This study was designed using results of similar studies and allowing for the cultural characteristics of the Iranian society. This study investigated how computer games affect different aspects of development. Methods: This is a descriptive analytic study of 1498 school age adolescents (11-17 years) in Isfahan, Iran. The tools of research were clinical interview and questionnaire. Data were analyzed using T- test, χ2, Man-Whitney test and Logistic Regression. Results: There was a significant relationship between computer game over-involvement and level of activity, socialization, abstraction, aggression and self-confidence. Sex was an important factor among computer game players. Sports computer games were the commonest form of games played (23.3%), while fictional and problem solving games were the least common. Among subjects in their early childhood, car racing games were the most common and chance games were more popular with those in their late childhood years. No relation was found between computer games and somatic and verbal factors.Discussion: Results indicated increased levels of aggression and emotional hyperarousal among heavy users. Because of the high level of self-confidence and socialization in this group, there is no evidence to suggest that computer games have any adverse psychological or social effects.
