Video Game Addiction in Young People (8–18 Years Old) after the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Grey Area of Addiction and the Phenomenon of “Gaming Non-Pathological Abuse (GNPA)”
In the youth population (8-18 years), "gaming non-pathological abuse" (GNPA) is related to aggressive, impulsive and violent behaviors that foster phenomena of social maladjustment and deviance, especially in individuals living in disadvantaged or otherwise complex socio-economic and family contexts. Looking forward, the study of structural and functional personality profiles is essential in order to anticipate and reduce the future risk of psychopathological and criminal behavior.
