#Attachmentstyles

A large international study identifies four psychological profiles among video game players, shedding light on how emotional regulation and attachment styles influence both healthy and problematic gaming. The research, published in Addictive Behaviors, analyzed responses from more than 5,000 gamers across 112 countries, offering nuanced insights that challenge stereotypes about gaming addiction and mental health. Research by leading psychology institutes shows that gaming can be a source of both comfort and risk, depending on individual emotional and social contexts.
