I made this for my COMM489 class at the University of Michigan. If you think you might sound like Mario, here are some questions to ask yourself: (1) salience: Do you frequently play most days? (2) tolerance: Do you frequently play for longer periods of time? (3) euphoria: Do you play for excitement or a ‘buzz’? (4) chasing: Do you play to beat your high score? (5) relapse: Do you make repeated efforts to stop or decrease playing? (6) withdrawal: Do you become restless if you cannot play? (7) conflict: Do you play instead of attending to school/work related activities? (8) conflict: Do you sacrifice social activities to play? If you have answered ‘Yes’ to four or more of these, you may be addicted to video games. Ask someone close to you for help. Questionaire SOURCE: Griffiths and Hunt (1995, 1998) Video Rating: 3 / 5
