Abstract : Perpustakaan Tuanku Bainun
This research aimed to explore the link between parenting styles and gaming disorders among secondary school students in Kelantan, Malaysia. A quantitative correlational survey design was employed, utilizing online survey questionnaires for data collection. The instruments utilized were the Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) and the Parenting Style Dimensions Questionnaire (PSDQ). A total of 209 respondents from a secondary school participated in the study. Results revealed a significant positive correlation between authoritarian parenting style and gaming disorders among secondary school students. This study serves as a pilot investigation to identify factors associated with gaming disorders, particularly among adolescents. In conclusion, the findings suggest valuable insights for future interventions addressing parenting and internet gaming disorders. Further exploration of the relationship between parenting styles and gaming disorders is recommended for a deeper understanding of this phenomenon. Keywords: authoritarian, authoritative, gaming disorders, secondary school students
