Abstract
The present study aims to investigate the relationship between Online gaming addiction, Family relationship and Academic performance among young adolescents. Convenient sampling technique was used to collect data. The study consisted of (N=196) comprised of 119 females and 77 males aging from year 18 to 24. Brief family relationship scale (BFRS) by (Moos & Moos, 1994) and Online gaming addiction scale by (Lemmens & Valkenburg, 2009) were used to attain the respective responses whereas Academic achievement was measured with grades and CGPA. Findings showed that there is a significant positive correlation among online gaming addiction and a subscale of family relationship that is cohesion. However, significant gender difference was found in online gaming, males having higher scores as compared to females on online gaming addiction. However, the percentage of females were more than males in this study but the stats showed more influence of video games on male participants.
