【 摘 要 】

The videogame industry is a multibillion dollar industry. In 2009, consumers spent more than 22.41 billion US dollars in videogame related merchandise (Entertainment Software Association, 2015). Perhaps as a result of its success and media attention, studies on videogame playing have increased in recent years (e.g., Gentile et al., 2004; Anand, 2007; Holtz and Appel, 2011; Kahlbaugh et al., 2011; Watson et al., 2011). One such study, Awareness of risk factors for digital game addiction: Interviewing players and counselors, looks at the risk factors of digital game addiction from both a player and a counselor perspective (Kneer et al., 2014).
