Proyecto de investigación acerca de la identificación y diferencias entre un pasatiempo y un problema, contraste entre el consumo de videojuegos como entretenimiento y como adicción.

Abstract

The objective of this research project is to raise awareness about the difference between the recreational use of video games and a problem of addiction to them. It will also inquire about the triggers that would result in an addictive use of video games. This project will be divided into a theoretical part, which will consist of bibliographic research on the subject from the perspective of cognitive behavioral psychology, and a practical part that will be based on conducting interviews and a focus group to a group of "gamers" selected in order to inquire about their perspective and experience regarding the topic in question. As mentioned before, this research project will use a qualitative method because the main source of information will be interviews and a focus group with a selected population. On the other hand, bibliographic research will be used as a means to identify indicators of addiction and also to analyze the perspectives of different authors regarding the topic in question.
