A research study has detected a bond between gaming addiction (OGA) and depressive symptoms. However, there is not much information on the lurking or confounding variables that link these together. The study was aimed to test the deprecating effect of flow experience, in other words mental state, in the union between OGA and depressive symptoms. The study conducted a survey to gather data among 1050 players to measure OGA, depressive symptoms, flow experience, and the balance between positive and negative emotions. The results demonstrated that OGA has a positive correlation with depressive symptoms and the balance between positive and negative emotions. While flow experience aggravates the negative correlation between the two variables; however, it tempered the positive impact of affect balance on depressive symptoms. The study provides a better understanding of how OGA and depressive symptoms correlate.

The study does provide convenient information for my research question. At the very beginning of the article, it was very straightforward about mentioning a bond between OGA and depressive symptoms. The article brought up terms such as flow experience and affect balance, which gives me the option to expand upon my question, and delve into those aspects. The article gave me some more insight on what I can write about for my topic because it provides more psychological and pathological factors to take into account. With this article, it will prevent my research from being mainly surface level content and material. It made me interested to take a more psychological approach for my research.

Is compulsive gaming behavior related to an increased multitude of harmful consequences? Is it common for a dangerous chain reaction to occur as a result? What are the lurking or confounding variables within the circumstances of compulsive gaming addiction? Under what circumstances does compulsive gaming addiction occur? Is compulsive gaming addiction properly linked to substance abuse? Are the high levels of dopamine the main cause of gaming addictions?

9/5- I forgot about the mano in my bookbag since Friday. Luckily it’s fine and not letting out a putrid smell or anything. The first thing I noticed about the mango was its color began to severely fade away. It was not as vibrant as it was on the day I bought it from the grocery store. It reminds me of your hair when you get older. The older it gets the pigment begins to fade itself out, but this is what I expected to happen. Also, the mango had tripled the amount of holes and “bruises” since the first day. It started to gross me out because it began to look like a teenager’s face, if you really looked at it. It almost resembles blackheads and I hate how I thought of it like that now. When I first got the mango, it was more tougher. However, it’s a lot more squishy now and definitely not as smooth.

9/6- Today we shall mourn about the death of my mango. My dad did not get the memo that the mango was literally my homework. I told my mother about the dilemma, but she missed the point of the problem that my homework was unfinished, and she was more upset of the fact that she did not get to eat the mango. The mango did not have a glorious way out either, it was shoveled out with a spoon. I wondered how it tasted but I also pleased that I didn’t since it was in my bag for 2 days, maybe I should ask my dad how it tasted. I’d imagined the mango wouldn’t have looked relatively different from yesterday, or smelt different. But yet again, I wouldn’t know my dad ate. I would imagine it became a tad softer and squishier, and gain more bruises on its skin. Now coming to think of it, I only got to wrote the description of its outside and what it was like inside.
