Methods: 602 students (8~15 years of old) were assessed on questionnaires in the schools of Chang sha city to determine their video game dependency.

Results: Students with video game dependence get more subnormal FIQ and PIQ in C-WISC, and their EPQ-P score was higher. The students with video game dependence also showed more behavior problems.Conclusions:More research should be carried out to understand the harmful effects of video game dependency on students’ intellectual and personality development.展开更多
