Online games are one of the digital entertainment activities widely favored by adolescents; however, high-intensity use can lead to psychological impacts, one of which is anxiety. Anxiety in adolescents is characterized by feelings of restlessness, irritability, difficulty concentrating, and sleep disturbances, especially when they are unable to play online games or when they experience defeat in the game. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the intensity of online game use and the level of anxiety among adolescents. This study used a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach, involving 113 respondents selected using a cluster sampling technique. The research instruments used were the DASS questionnaire and an online game usage intensity questionnaire, and the data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis. The respondents in this study were adolescents from SMAN 1 Wanadadi, most of whom were 16 years old (49.6%) and predominantly female (61.9%). The intensity of online game use was mostly in the moderate category (55.8%), while the level of anxiety was mostly in the mild category (89.0%). The results showed that most respondents had a moderate level of online game usage intensity and a mild level of anxiety. Bivariate analysis indicated that there was no significant relationship between the intensity of online game use and the level of anxiety among adolescents, with a p-value of 0.425 and a contingency coefficient value of 0.076. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is no relationship between the intensity of online game use and the level of anxiety among adolescents.

This study aims to analyze the relationship between the intensity of playing the online game Mobile Legends and the consumptive behavior of university students at Universitas PGRI Ronggolawe Tuban. The research was motivated by the growing phenomenon of digital consumption among students, particularly through virtual item purchases via microtransactions. A quantitative correlational approach was employed, using purposive sampling involving 40 active student players of Mobile Legends. Research instruments consisted of Likert-scale questionnaires measuring two main variables: gaming intensity (frequency and duration) and consumptive behavior (impulsive buying, wastefulness, and non-rational consumption). Data were analyzed using Spearman’s rho correlation test, revealing a positive and significant relationship between gaming intensity and consumptive behavior (r = 0.558; p < 0.05). These findings indicate that higher gaming intensity increases students’ tendency toward hedonic and symbolic digital consumption. The study highlights that students’ consumptive behavior in the digital era is shaped not only by economic factors but also by social influence, self-control, and emotional gratification. The research implies the need for enhanced digital financial literacy and self-regulation awareness among students to mitigate excessive consumptive behavior.

Trash talking, as a form of cyberbullying, is often found in internet gaming cafes such as White Wolf Arena and refers to harmful actions such as insinuating, insulting or verbally abusing other players. This phenomenon occurs through voice or text messaging features in anonymous virtual communication, triggering negative behaviours such as trolling and AFK. The vocabulary of Trash talking includes animal words, adjectives, objects, conditions, and human organs. This study aims to analyse the Trash talking behaviour of Valorant players using a descriptive qualitative method with seven purposively selected informants. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation, and analysed using the Miles and Huberman technique with data triangulation. The results showed that Trash talking behaviour is influenced by sociopsychological and situational factors. The communication media used include voice chat, text chat, and stickers, where the detection system is more effective on text. Virtual communication showed varied Trash talking vocabulary and different levels of offensiveness between voice chat and text. This research identified behaviour, media and virtual communication as the main aspects of Trash talking in Valorant.
