Gaming onset and engagement among university students: a question of mismanaged emotions?
These findings highlight distinct emotional and sociodemographic profiles among current and former gamers. They suggest that emotional intelligence, particularly emotional awareness, may play a key role in maintaining gaming behavior. The results have potential implications for designing targeted prevention strategies for gaming disorder among university students.
