The Effect of Video Games Towards the Students' Academic Performance
Abstract
Video games have remained popular ever since the video game industry boom in the 1980s. It has remained popular, especially for children, teenagers, and adults. However, video games have also sparked controversies among the population. Concerns have been raised regarding the harmful effects of video games, particularly regarding addictions. Video games have been accused by many of being the cause of lowering academic performance. Therefore, this study aims to explore the relationship between video games and the overall academic performance of university students in depth. We applied several statistical methods using a questionnaire, which 100 university students filled out. The insights uncovered from this study may help determine if and how much video games affect the academic performance of university students.
