Investigating the Impact of PUBG on Academic Performance and Mental Health among Pakistani Teenagers

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The PUBG game holds widespread popularity among Pakistani teenagers; however, concerns have surfaced regarding its potential impact on academic achievement and mental health. Prolonged play may result in migraines, eye strain, and back pain, while violent games could potentially influence harsh speech patterns in young individuals. The decision to ban PUBG has attracted attention due to its perceived violent nature. This research aims to ascertain PUBG's detrimental effects on students' academic performance in Pakistan and seeks to find interventions for addressing PUBG addiction. A quantitative study in Pakistan, with a sample size of 100 responders, aims to assess the game's effects on students' emotions and behavior. Thematic analysis, utilizing an interview guide, will be the final analytical strategy employed in this study.
