Correlación del uso de videojuegos y el vínculo afectivo con sus padres (niños de 6 a 12 años).

Abstract

Introduction: The use of video games has become one of the biggest family problems that often exist in homes, with consequences in the development and bonding between parents and their children. Objective: Therefore, this study aims to analyze the correlation between the long-term use of video games in children aged between 6 and 12 years and the bonding with their parents. Methodology: The research was conducted using a qualitative approach with a literature review design and a descriptive scope based on the PRISMA statement. The inclusion criteria were those studies that referred to long-term exposure to video games and those that discussed the importance of children's bonding with their parents. Development: A total of 8 studies were included in this research that specifically referenced the excessive use of video games and family bonding. Conclusion: The research showed that the correlation between long-term use of video games control in children and parental bonding is influential and, therefore, should be positive, but it becomes negative because, by spending a long time playing video games, children develop inappropriate behavior and dependence on these types of games, which means that, by wanting to control their children's time and activities, children feel unhappy and react negatively.
