In conclusion, online gaming addiction is a complex issue caused by two main reasons, attraction factors and motivation factors. It is clear that a player might be influenced by attraction addiction or be caught up in motivation addiction and then seek for an outlet from online games. 


In terms of attraction factors, addiction is caused by the appeal of the game itself, whereas the motivation factors tends to combine the charm of the game and the player's own factors, like social environment and emotional dependence. Obviously, these two factors are equally important. Online games are highly attractive not only due to providing a platform for entertainment but also making up for people's emotional deficiency in real life.


As a result, attraction factors, including rewards cycle, online friendship and immersion in virtual world, as well as motivation factors, like low self-esteem, loneliness and huge stresses, commonly lead to online gaming addiction.

Hence, online gaming addiction would be influenced by attraction factors to a smaller extent. Whereas, in the formation of online gaming addiction, the motivation factors are expected to be in the leading position: online gaming addiction is biologically driven by the brain reward system; the motivation of escapism and the social responsibility from video games could enable gamers to have a stronger sense of social identity towards the virtual world. Therefore, online gaming addiction would be determined by motivation factors to a greater extent. However, this essay does not analyse the influence of attraction and motivation in varying addiction stages, which might be another topic worth studying.]]> 2020-08-07 11:43:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahfletcher/nzlmwqixr7t1p8kn/wish/672321135 Conclusion of RE a_youngpark https://padlet.com/sarahfletcher/nzlmwqixr7t1p8kn/wish/673399427 2020-08-09 07:31:02 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahfletcher/nzlmwqixr7t1p8kn/wish/673399427 Conclusion lichaosun https://padlet.com/sarahfletcher/nzlmwqixr7t1p8kn/wish/674378306 In conclusion, motivation factors and attraction factors lead to OGA. However, the former reveals the essential reason of OGA with the latter as the outlet. Specifically, attraction factors are constrained by the player's ability to self-control, while motivation factors mirror personal psychological state and stress in real life. Therefore, the government should pay more attention to the social pressure of online game addicts, rather than blockading online games forcefully. ]]> 2020-08-10 15:26:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahfletcher/nzlmwqixr7t1p8kn/wish/674378306 This article mainly discusses how online gaming addiction is caused by motivational factors and attractive factors. Online games take advantage of attractive game features, tempting rewards, and an immersive gaming experience to attract players to indulge in games all day and night, meanwhile, motivation factors of players also leads to online gaming addiction, especially for those who are under pressure and suffer from loneliness in their real life. jinyuanli https://padlet.com/sarahfletcher/nzlmwqixr7t1p8kn/wish/675176812 RE conclusion]]> 2020-08-11 03:24:29 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahfletcher/nzlmwqixr7t1p8kn/wish/675176812 Conclusion It has been demonstrated in this essay that online gaming addiction is mainly caused by not only attraction factors (chiefly including a reward cycle and relationships network), but also motivation factors (primarily containing escapism and loneliness). While the former can exist independently, the latter has to match one of the former for an outlet of real-life pressure. Whether a real-life problem requiring this outlet exists, recognizes Attraction Addiction from Motivation Addiction. zhenyusun https://padlet.com/sarahfletcher/nzlmwqixr7t1p8kn/wish/675349222 2020-08-11 07:13:33 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahfletcher/nzlmwqixr7t1p8kn/wish/675349222 Takuto Kaku https://padlet.com/sarahfletcher/nzlmwqixr7t1p8kn/wish/675362157 In conclusion, I would like to say that the opportunity to start the game is largely influenced by the Attraction Factors. However, the Motivation factors affect us more to become gaming addiction. The main reason for this is the seriousness of psychological effects. At first glance, the attraction factors seem to contribute to increasing dependence, but some online games play alone, not necessarily requiring network building or team contribution. It is reported that some game players have improved player's self-esteem by playing game and rather helped them return to society. From this view, we should focus on the impact on self-esteem which is huge related to all game players. That is why I believe that online gaming addiction determined by Motivation Factors.]]> 2020-08-11 07:32:43 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahfletcher/nzlmwqixr7t1p8kn/wish/675362157 Conclusion jiahongli https://padlet.com/sarahfletcher/nzlmwqixr7t1p8kn/wish/675409549 From the above, this essay has examined the function of attraction factors and motivation factors respectively in the process of online gaming addiction and stated the combined action of them. For addicted players, the time of playing should be controlled at the beginning of being interest at a computer games to avoiding deepen the degree of gaming addiction. Once the motivation factors are aware of, players need to distinguish which function of the game entertain them most, and ask for psychologists or detox institutions help. Due to the lacking research in the combined function of the two factors, the convincing data is hard to dig out. But a explicit conclusion has already been given: attraction factors lead to the addiction of players to computer games by entertaining them in the initial stage, while motivation factors deteriorate the addiction situation of players in at a later stage.]]> 2020-08-11 08:54:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahfletcher/nzlmwqixr7t1p8kn/wish/675409549 qi2wang https://padlet.com/sarahfletcher/nzlmwqixr7t1p8kn/wish/675409625 2020-08-11 08:54:30 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahfletcher/nzlmwqixr7t1p8kn/wish/675409625 qi2wang https://padlet.com/sarahfletcher/nzlmwqixr7t1p8kn/wish/675409713 2020-08-11 08:54:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahfletcher/nzlmwqixr7t1p8kn/wish/675409713 Conclusion. sijiasong https://padlet.com/sarahfletcher/nzlmwqixr7t1p8kn/wish/675415684 Take together, motivation factors and attraction factors are both lead to online gaming addiction.

In conclusion, both the two factors mentioned previously may have a visible online game addiction. In terms of the impact assessment, addiction is seen as a corollary of an insular society. Therefore, the internal factors may have a stronger power for audiences. Moreover,motivational factors should be viewed more emphatically.]]> 2020-08-11 09:41:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahfletcher/nzlmwqixr7t1p8kn/wish/675432579 conclusion xiaohuihu https://padlet.com/sarahfletcher/nzlmwqixr7t1p8kn/wish/675458040 Addicted to online games has brought extremely hitches to countless individuals, families, and even society. Therefore, it is essential to find out the reasons that people are addicted to it. Attraction factors are the external cause for people addicted to online gaming，although it makes players interested through a series of influences of the game itself, this kind of game experience may be temporary, if the individual does not have a strong desire or the game does not suit the individual's psychological needs. Meanwhile, motivation factors are the internal cause which is related to the inner needs of the player. However, the decisive reason is the combination of the two elements, and the single factor may not directly cause people to indulge in online games.]]> 2020-08-11 10:47:09 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahfletcher/nzlmwqixr7t1p8kn/wish/675458040 xu feiyue hetan1 https://padlet.com/sarahfletcher/nzlmwqixr7t1p8kn/wish/675463878 In conclusion, according to the researcher's example (Kuss, 2013 p.20), if the player is addicted only because attracted by the game settings instead of being disappointed in real life, the addicts quit the game addiction after rediscovering the happiness of real life. However, people are usually more difficult to quit addiction and fall into a vicious circle of addiction-destroying spirit if get into the addiction caused by motivation which is more complicated and easily mistaken for other addictive reasons.

It analyses how the addiction was created and received during online gaming, carried by the Internet all along.  On the one hand, the design features of the game attract and encourage players to keep playing the games. On the other hand, the Individual differences and multiple needs affect the gaming behaviours and eventually leave the players dependent on their gaming communities.

Also, from the perspective of their inadequacies and social environment, motivational factors are largely determining whether a person is addicted to games. Because many things have attraction factors, such as skiers love the feeling of falling from high places (Yee,2002, p.3). Therefore attractiveness is a less important determinant of game addiction. In contrast, motivational factors are more likely to cause stressed people to play games uncontrollably. Although the real difficulties and pressures can't be easily solved, it provides a perfect solution in the game. Gamers can easily escape from the dilemma of real life.

The design and environment of the game attract people from the outside. Once these characteristics are not attracted, people may not become addicted to it. However, people’s own personalities and psychological factors change their cognition from within, even without games, they may become addicted to other things.

On the one hand, it is entirely possible that the attraction factor of the game may attract some people to become addicted to online games. Obviously, some players will be addicted to getting more advanced rewards of the game without motivation factors. On the other hand, some players may be initially attracted to game rewards, but what causes them to be truly addicted is the opportunity to escape real-life problems in the virtual world.
