| Summary: | 碩士 === 高雄醫學大學 === 醫學系神經學科研究所 === 102 === This study aims to discover whether impulsivity is the mediator of Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). In the past, researches all point out that IGD and mostpsychological patients have comorbidity especially with ADHD. Moreover, impulsivity has significant similarity with IGD and ADHD. In order to prevent and cure IGD, with an aim to discover, the study endeavors to research the three dimensions of impulsivity and whether it is the mediator of IGD and ADHD for future researches.
The study method is to post recruitment on the web BBS, PTT. 268 voluntary test recipients all complete the questionnaire of IGD and impulsivity and are interviewed by professional psychologicaltherapists. The examinees are divided into three groups, IGD, Controlling, and Remission. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square test, T-test, analysis of variance, Logistic Regression are taken for data analysis.
The result demonstrates that the IGD group has higher index on Motor Impulsivity and the index of Non-planning Impulsivity of the Remission group is lower than the IGDgroup’s but, still, higher than the Controllinggroup’s. Originally, ADHD patients are significantly relevant with IGD. However, after controlling Motor Impulsivity, the result becomes NOT significant. In the Remission group, ADHD’s relevance becomes NOT significant after controlling Non-planning Impulsivity.
In conclusion, Impulsivity actually plays a mediator in IGD and ADHD. ADHD patients are more possible to get IGD and, in the meantime, Motor Impulsivity is more likely to be the mediator. On the other hand, the reason why ADHD patients with IGD are much more difficult to get remission is possibly that their index of Non-planning Impulsivity is higher than patients with NO ADHD. As a result, the concept of that impulsivity is the mediator should widely apply in researches that study to prevent and cure IGD and yet it might be able to improve the situation in this society nowadays.
