Abstract

The risk of gaming disorder is not only limited to hardcore gaming style, but is also found in the increasingly popular casual gaming style. This study aims to test how leisure boredom affects gaming disorder in emerging adult smartphone users. A quantitative approach with correlational design was used in the study. The criteria of the respondents were individuals aged 18-25 years, who played games on their smartphones at least once a day and resided in Surabaya, Indonesia. A total of 175 respondents participated in this research. Modified version of the Leisure Boredom Scale (LBS) and the Internet Gaming Disorder - 20 Test (IGD-20 Test) were utilized to collect data. The data was analyzed using simple linear regression. The results indicated that leisure boredom may predict the tendency of gaming disorder in emerging adult smartphone users. The conflict aspect in gaming disorder was found to be the most affected by leisure boredom, whereas the mood modification aspect was found to be the only aspect not affected by leisure boredom.
