Abstract

In this research, we studied the antecedents to college student online game addiction. Building on the relevant literature, we conducted a survey research on a group of college students. Analyzing the data collected from 65 students, we found that three factors have significant relationships with online game addiction: perception of loneliness, sense of achievement derived from online game, and excitement derived from online game.
