Abstract

Online gaming is a double-edged sword for adolescent development, warranting widespread attention. Through investigation and analysis of the current status and influencing factors of online gaming usage behavior and social behavior among adolescents in Chongqing, the following conclusions were drawn: adolescent online gaming shows a trend toward younger ages; most adolescent online gaming behavior is rational; factors such as elder management styles, attitudes toward adolescent online gaming, total family income, and online gaming expenditures influence adolescent online gaming behavior. Therefore, society as a whole should have awareness of protecting adolescents, particularly requiring the government to strengthen internet legislation while increasing supervision of online games; online game development needs to emphasize educational connotations; parents should adopt an open attitude toward adolescent online gaming behavior while paying more attention to adolescent growth.
