result of his gaming
tactics causes teenages to be addicted to video
games.The psychological cycle of substance
addiction and other maladaptive behaviors can be applied to video games as well.
A person playing a video game feels an emotional high, commonly known as an
adrenaline rush, as a result of his gaming tactics (8). He then plays the game more and pushes his physical and
psychological limits in order to experience the emotional high. Eventually, he
will again reach a level that stimulates the production of adrenaline. The cycle
may continue until it leads to an unhealthy level of interaction with video
games, which some professionals may label video game addiction. Even famous
psychological effects such as the sunk cost fallacy can influence the addictive
cycle. This fallacy occurs when a person feels compelled to continue performing
a certain behavior because he has previously invested time in the behavior and
does not want to feel as though his investment was wasted (9). Similarly, Dr. Timothy Miller, a clinical psychologist, states
that many video game players may feel that they have wasted their efforts if
they do not reach the next goal in a game, which may lead to additional time
spent playing the game that the person otherwise would have spent in a more
constructive task .

The fact that video games allow
people to escape reality makes them addictive. Video games allow people to get
away from certain things that cause them stress such as schoolwork. ?I?d rather
play Half-Life or Goldeneye than do my physics. School is the same everyday.
Video games are fun no matter when you play them? (Personal Interview). For many
students, school can be seen as a source of stress because of the intense
workload they are faced with daily. Video games direct their minds away from
education and veer them towards the virtual world.

it is true that peer pressure will play a role. however, if a teenager has
self-disipline and is reponsible, i believe that they will not follow his or her
friends and get addicted to the games. =)

therefore, it is a matter of self control and disipline, not peer
pressure
Add Sticky Note
- - Ecellent rebuttal:) You have shown admirable openness to concede that peer pressure will play a part but you have tried, by way of logic, to persuade that self-discipline is a sufficient cause.

People enjoy challenges that they know can be conquered.
Successfully completing a computer game gives the user a sense of accomplishment
regardless of the difficulty. ?Nothing beats smashing up a game. It?s the
challenge that keeps you going. It feels good to win, especially against your
friend? (Personal Interview). Many games offer adjustable degrees of difficulty
for people to conquer. This keeps the person playing repeatedly even after he or
she has completed the game the first time.


Furthermore, video games are addictive in that they present a
world where mistakes can be undone. Inside a video game world, nothing is real.
Rules that govern reality such as death or time can be broken. If the user?s
character is defeated during game play, the character can start over. ?No one?s
perfect. I always die in Diablo. All I have to do is reset the game and
hopefully this time, I won?t make the same mistake again? (Personal Interview).
After a player is beaten by the game, the player can choose to redo the same
journey until he or she gets it right. A person can explore a virtual world over
and over which ultimately causes addiction.
