摘要：The aim of this study is to investigate the digital game addiction in children between the ages of
9-11. This research, which is a descriptive study, has been conducted with the screening model. A
total of 1100 students, which consist of 552 girls and 548 boys, from the 6 state schools (Mehmet
Hüsnü Özyeğin, Erol Güngör, Süleyman Türkmani ve Sırrı Kardeş Primary Schools, and Cacabey
and 23 Nisan Secondary Schools) affiliated to the Ministry of National Education in the province
of Kırşehir participated in the research with the method of purposeful sampling. A 14-item digital
game addiction scale developed by researchers was used in the study. Percentage, frequency,
factor analysis and Chi-square test were used in the analysis of the data. As a result of the
conducted analyzes, it is seen that digital game addiction scores change according to gender and
age. According to gender, there is a significant difference between girls' low addiction levels and
boys' low addiction levels. It can be concluded that addiction level of boys is higher than the level
of girls. According to the age, it is seen that the average and high level game addiction decreases
while the low level game addiction increases as the age increases. In brief, the level of game
addiction decreases as the age increases and this result is not accidental but significant. One of
the most effective ways to cope with digital game addiction is to direct children to physical
activities. However, parents, teachers and students should be informed about digital game
addiction.
