Abstract : This study examined gender and social intelligence as predictors of internet gaming. Results indicate that gender was associated with internet gaming, whereas social intelligence was not. We also explored withdrawal symptoms for internet gaming. Among those who identified as gamers, 59% reported withdrawal symptoms.
