Abstract

Özet
Bu çalışma, hızla büyüyen e-spor endüstrisinin ve bu alandaki dijital oyun bağımlılığının çeşitli boyutlarını incelemektedir. E-sporun tanımı, tarihsel gelişimi, endüstriyel yapısı ve geleneksel sporlarla karşılaştırılması literatür taraması yoluyla tartışılmaktadır. Çalışmanın ampirik kısmında, e-sporun potansiyel olumsuz etkilerine ilişkin katılımcı görüşlerini toplamak için odak grup görüşmesi tekniği kullanılmıştır. Odak grup bulguları, e-sporun fiziksel, psikolojik, sosyal ve akademik performans üzerindeki olumsuz etkilerini, millî ve manevi değerlerle potansiyel çatışmasını, yazılım sektörüne katkılarla ilgili karşılanmayan beklentileri, mevcut araştırmaların sınırlı doğasını ve okullarda e-sporun teşvik edilmesinin risklerini vurgulamaktadır. Ayrıca, oyun bağımlılığının belirtileri, nedenleri, yaygınlığı, risk faktörleri ve tedavi/önleme yaklaşımları ulusal ve uluslararası literatür ışığında değerlendirilmektedir. Dijital bağımlılık üzerine ekonomik ve davranışsal modellerden elde edilen bulgular, alışkanlık oluşumu ve öz kontrol sorunlarının dijital kullanım üzerindeki etkisini vurgulamaktadır. Bu çalışma, e-spor bağımlılığına kapsamlı bir bakış açısı sunarak politika yapıcılar, eğitimciler ve ebeveynler için önemli çıkarımlar sağlamayı amaçlamaktadır.
Anahtar Kelimeler: E-spor, Video Oyunu Bağımlılığı, Dijital Bağımlılık, Öz Kontrol Sorunları.

From e-Sports to Problematic Game Addiction: Risks, Myths, and Educational Policies

Abstract

Abstract: This study examines various dimensions of the rapidly growing e-sports industry and digital game addiction within this field. The definition, historical development, industrial structure of e-sports, and comparison with traditional sports are discussed through a literature review. In the empirical part of the study, a focus group interview technique was used to collect participant views on the potential negative effects of e-sports. Focus group findings highlight the negative impacts of e-sports on physical, psychological, social, and academic performance, their potential conflict with national and moral values, unmet expectations regarding contributions to the software industry, the limited nature of existing research, and the risks of promoting e-sports in schools. Furthermore, the symptoms, causes, prevalence, risk factors, and treatment/prevention approaches for gaming addiction are evaluated in light of national and international literature. Findings from economic and behavioral models on digital addiction emphasize the impact of habit formation and self-control problems on digital usage. This study aims to provide a comprehensive perspective on e-sports addiction, offering important implications for policymakers, educators, and parents.
