PUBG Game Addiction, Emotional Regulation, AggressionAbstract
In today's technological age, millions of students worldwide play the PUBG game. This study aimed to examine the impact of PUBG game addiction on aggression, with a focus on the mediating role of emotional regulation. A sample of 250 PUBG players who played the game for at least one year was included, with an equal gender distribution (male = 125, female = 125). Participants were aged between 18 and 25 years (M = 20.65, SD = 2.37). The findings revealed a significant positive partially mediating effect of expressive suppression between PUBG game addiction and aggression, while cognitive reappraisal negatively and significantly mediated the relationship. The results were discussed in the context of existing literature, and recommendations for future research were provided.
