Abstract
In mid-2018, the world health organisation (who) highlighted that gaming behaviour can cause significant distress or impair functioning in various aspects of life. Internet gaming disorder (igd) is a form of internet addiction characterized by losing control over gaming, leading to neglect of other interests and daily activities. Currently, the lack of systematic research paradigms to study igd and its inhibitory control abilities limits the understanding of impaired inhibitory control in igd patients. Moreover, no studies have compared different types of inhibitory control (distractor interference inhibitory control and prepotent response inhibitory control) to determine their distinct behavioural and neurophysiological characteristics in igd. To address this research gap, the current study examines the inhibitory control functions in individuals with igd using questionnaire surveys, cognitive experiments, and erp experiments. The study participants were selected from 817 university students in china. The questionnaire survey, a cross-sectional study, used the igd-20 and dsm-v to diagnose igd and assess relevant sociodemographic and psychological factors. The findings indicate that individuals with igd are younger, predominantly male, have less education, longer gaming history, and spend more time gaming daily. They also exhibit poorer impulse control, stronger cravings, higher risk-taking, compulsive behaviour, and reduced self-control and attention abilities.
