Overview

Longitudinal study reveals parental gaming over thirty minutes daily escalates internet gaming disorder risk in parent-child dyads, suggesting thirty minutes as a pragmatic low-risk daily limit.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the longitudinal dose-response relationship between parental video gaming time and internet gaming disorder symptoms in parents and adolescents.
  • A one-year, two-wave longitudinal study evaluated 712 parent-child dyads (50.4% girls, 80.8% mothers; 55.8% follow-up rate) in Hong Kong using classroom and online surveys.
  • Generalized additive models and mixed regression models assessed non-linear associations and identified low-risk thresholds starting stepwise from 0.5 hours per day (h/d).
  • Parental gaming exceeding 0.5 h/d versus non-gamers was significantly associated with higher parental IGD symptoms (b = 2.409, 95% CI [2.280, 2.538]) and higher adolescent IGD risk (OR = 11.124, 95% CI [6.658, 18.584]).
  • Compared to parents gaming 0.5 h/d, exceeding 0.5 h/d was associated with increased parental IGD symptoms (b = 1.787, 95% CI [1.603, 1.972]) and adolescent IGD risk (OR = 5.119, 95% CI [2.684, 9.765]).
