Adolescent Gaming Disorder Risk by Mobile Game Genre

Survey data from 152 participants aged 9 to 12 years examines links between mobile game genres and Internet gaming disorder risk. KaHee Kim authored this study using data from Wave 8 of the K-CURE cohort. The dataset was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze the association between the 'physical obstacle game' genre classification and higher IGUESS scores.
• Model the mediating effect of 'daily gaming time' on the relationship between 'competitive games' and problematic gaming scores.
• Investigate demographic predictors like participant 'age' and 'gender' as control variables in regression on IGUESS outcomes.
• Test for direct versus indirect effects of 'cognitive obstacle games' on gaming disorder risk through mediation analysis.

Strengths

• Includes data from 152 participants, providing a sample for analysis.
• Features specific statistical results (e.g., B=1.709 for physical obstacle games) validating the reported associations.

Limitations

• Small sample size of 152 participants limits generalizability and statistical power.
• Geographic and demographic scope is restricted to a single cohort (K-CURE), likely introducing regional bias.
• Data is contained within a 9.8 KB DOCX file, indicating it is likely a summary table, not the raw dataset.
