This article explores craving in Internet Game Disorder among college students. Craving, as a central feature of addiction and a precursor of relapse, has been recently targeted in addiction intervention. While Internet gaming disorder (IGD), has been conceptualized as a behavioral addiction, treating it has been ineffective. This research aims to test the effectiveness and detect the active ingredients of craving behavior intervention (CBI) in mitigation of IGD among young adults.
This course is based on the article,Craving Behavior Intervention in Ameliorating College Students’ Internet Game Disorder-A Longitudinal Studyr created by Lin-Yuan Deng, PhD, et al. in 2017.
