Abstract
Factor analysis identified one key factor associated with problematic usage in World of Warcraft players.
- Problematic usage may be linked to the amount of time spent playing the game.
- Personality traits such as agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and extraversion are correlated with problematic gaming behavior.
- The findings suggest a relationship between gaming habits and individual personality characteristics.
