  • Extended hours of video game play and negative physical symptoms and pain

    Open AccessJanni Leung, Jennifer B Saunders et al.ARTICLEComputers in Human Behavior2024

    Video games are a source of positive experiences and joy for many people. However, some interaction styles may lead to negative consequences. We aimed to examine the potential negative physical problems associated with video gaming behaviors. Data were from the 2022 International Gaming Study (IGS22), a cross-sectional survey of 955 individuals aged 18–94 (M = 46.10 [16.19]; 45% male) who played video games.

Treatment demand for gaming disorder has exceeded service…

  • Criteria for the establishment of a new behavioural addiction

    Open AccessMatthew J Gullo, Andrew P Wood et al.ARTICLEJournal of Behavioral Addictions2022

    When does repeated behaviour constitute behavioural addiction? There has been considerable debate about non-substance-related addictions and how to determine when impaired control over a behaviour is addiction. There are public health benefits to identifying new behavioural addictions if intervention can improve outcomes. However, criteria for establishing new behavioural addictions must guard against diagnostic inflation and the pathologizing of…

  • The essential role of theory in minimizing harm from emerging technologies. Lost in committee

    Open AccessMatthew J Gullo, Jennifer B SaundersARTICLEJournal of Behavioral Addictions2021

    A coherent framework for addressing risk arising from new technologies is needed. In proposing a framework of broad application and future focus, where empirical evidence is scarce, reliance on strong theory becomes all the more important. Some technologies are more prone to excessive engagement than others (i.e. more addictive). Some users are also more susceptible to excessive engagement than others. Impulsivity theory emphasises the importance…

    Open AccessOrsolya Király, Marc N Potenza et al.ARTICLEComprehensive Psychiatry2020

    As a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many governments have introduced steps such as spatial distancing and "staying at home" to curb its spread and impact. The fear resulting from the disease, the 'lockdown' situation, high levels of uncertainty regarding the future, and financial insecurity raise the level of stress, anxiety, and depression experienced by people all around the world.

  • Imagining Religious Communities

    Jennifer B SaundersBOOKImagining Religious Communities2019Cited by: 2References: 25

    Based on ethnographic research with a transnational Hindu family and its social networks, this book examines the ways that middle-class Hindu communities are engaged actively in creating and maintaining their communities. Imagination as a social practice has been a crucial component of defining a transnational life in the moments between actual contact across borders, and the narratives community members tell are key components of communicating t…

  • Including gaming disorder in the ICD-11: The need to do so from a clinical and public health perspective

    Open AccessHans‐jürgen Rumpf, Sophia Achab et al.ARTICLEJournal of Behavioral Addictions2018

    The proposed introduction of gaming disorder (GD) in the 11th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) has led to a lively debate over the past year. Besides the broad support for the decision in the academic press, a recent publication by van Rooij et al. (2018) repeated the criticism raised against the inclusion of GD in ICD-11 by Aarseth et al. (2017). We argue that this…

    This article examines the contemporary relationship between the Ārya Samāj and Sanātan Dharm movements among Hindus in India and abroad.

While Hindus whos…
