Genetic Factors in Gaming Habits: Groundbreaking Research

The Influence of Genetics and Environment on Gaming Habits

A groundbreaking study published in JCPP Advances has shed light on the interplay between genetics and environment in shaping gaming behaviors. The study, which focused on twins, found that genetics played a more significant role in boys’ gaming behavior over time, while environmental factors had a greater influence on girls’ gaming habits. These findings provide valuable insights into the underlying factors contributing to the widespread engagement in video games, particularly as the potential inclusion of gaming disorder in future psychiatric classifications looms.
