A Study Literature: Self-Management in Overcoming Online Gaming Addiction

Abstract

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of self-management techniques in addressing online gaming addiction among students. Online gaming addiction has become a significant problem, disrupting students' social, physical, psychological, and academic lives. With the increasing dependence on online games, the application of self-management techniques, which include time management, emotional control, and self-monitoring, is expected to help students manage their behavior and reduce this addiction. The method used in this study is a literature review, analyzing previous relevant research on the use of self-management techniques in reducing online gaming addiction. The research results show that self-management techniques, through group counseling, have proven effective in reducing the level of online gaming addiction among students. This technique also contributes to improved social interactions, enhanced learning quality, and better time management. Therefore, the implementation of self-management techniques in schools can be an effective solution in addressing the problem of online game addiction, as well as improving the overall well-being of students. This research recommends integrating these techniques into school counseling programs and supporting the role of parents in accompanying students through the self-management process.
