Abstract

The sample of the study consists of a total of 178 students (90 females and 88 males), who attend the 8th grade of secondary school. The personal information form, the Digital Game Addiction for Children Scale form and the social tendencies scale were used in the study. There was no statistically significant relationship between digital game addiction levels and social tendencies of secondary school students participating in the study. However, a low statistically significant positive correlation between digital game addiction and violence tendency, which is a sub-dimension of social tendencies was evidenced.
