The Role of Electronic Games in the Emergence of Aggressive Behavior among adolescent students-A Field Study in Some Secondary Education Institutions in the Provinces of Tizi Ouzou and Boumerdes -

Abstract

     Play is considered a natural inclination and an important activity that individuals engage in to satisfy their basic needs, whether physical, psychological, mental, or social. It accompanies individuals in various stages of their development and takes on different forms according to their age. Electronic games are among the most significant acquisitions of the information and communication technology revolution, which have gained wide acceptance and popularity among both children and adults. This has sparked extensive debate and varying opinions among researchers about the emergence of certain negative effects as a result of excessive use of electronic games, such as addiction to their use and the appearance of aggressiveness in thinking, emotions, and behavior.
