Gaming, religiosity and mental health among Georgian students
Excessive gaming among Georgian university students is associated with higher IGD severity, greater burnout, and reduced life satisfaction, with religiosity serving as a potential protective factor. These findings underscore the need for targeted interventions-such as psychoeducation and time management strategies-to promote balanced gaming habits. The high attrition rate is the primary limiting factor to generilizing the findings of the study.
