Most games were only available on arcade machines in the early days of video games, which were not accessible 24 hours a day. Games are one of the most popular features of social networking sites these days, and they may be played on handheld game devices, personal computers, or smartphones almost continuously. Rich parallel worlds, multiple characters, and sophisticated plots have become commonplace in video games. Introverted children and teens may discover that connecting with "actual" peers may be avoided by communicating primarily with other online gamers, posing as characters with awe-inspiring abilities and gifts.

In addition, cognitive behavioural therapy is the most frequent treatment for regaining self-control after an addiction. The addict will go through a number of stages to improve his or her gaming habits and thoughts of video games' importance. If the addiction is caused by another underlying problem, treatment can address that issue as well as teach the addict how to live with depression, stress, and anxiety.

Given the present level of attention and research paid to video game addiction compared to other addictions, there are very few support groups available to provide communal assistance. The Online Gamers Anonymous, a nonprofit organisation that offers a 12-step programme for recovering from video gaming addiction, is one of the most well-known organisations. 

Online game addicts, on the other hand, can be treated utilising the operant conditioning idea and reinforcement. The patient will be educated about online game addiction, encouraged to make lifestyle changes, rewarded for progress, and supported when problems emerge.
As a result, rewards and punishments are used in behavioural therapy to enhance positive conduct while lowering undesirable behaviour.

 

 

Thus if individuals who have an online game dependency are possible to be punished like can't exit for every week through their figure for gambling video games for too long, they'll research that the results of gambling online games will bring about the punishment so they'll try and prevent the behaviour to keep away from being punished. Then if the dad and mom provide them rewards like pocket cash or heat reward due to the fact they're capable of managing themselves from gambling video games, they'll additionally repeat that behaviour to enjoy the praise again.

Research also shows that reward has become a good method for the improvement of student achievement. An experiment by Hurlock on the relative effectiveness of these forms of rewards showed that school mathematics improved under praise (Ilegbusi, 2013).  From another experiment, Ilegbusi (2013) believed that teacher that encouraged warm praise for students' works will increase their motivations, and their scores increased. The praised group continued to work even when the teacher was away and got along better as a team. Student achievement truly can be improved through the application of rewards. As a result, teenagers will spend less time playing games and more time doing exercise to get a better achievement in their studies. In a nutshell, rewards can be a motivation for teens to work harder in studies and can reduce them from always playing games as they want to get rewards from the teachers.
