Abstract
Background: Empirical research studies have
highlighted the need to investigate the underlying
cognitions and cognitive variables in relation to Internet
Gaming Disorder (IGD). However, little is known about
the possible cognitive-related impairments associated
with IGD. Objectives: The present paper extends
previous research and uncovers additional key general
cognitive-related outcomes of IGD via a systematic
review of the empirical literature. Methods: The PRISMA
(Preferred Reporting Item for Systematic Reviews and
Meta-analysis) guidelines were adopted. Internet-based
bibliographic searches were conducted via seven major
electronic databases (i.e., PsycARTICLES, PsycINFO, Web
of Science, Core Collection BIOSIS Citation Index,
MEDLINE, SciELO Citation Index, and PubMed) to access
studies examining the association between IGD and
cognitive outcomes. Results: A total of 17 empirical
studies meeting the inclusion criteria that investigated
the relationships between IGD and cognitions and/or
cognitive-related outcomes were identified. Seven
distinct cognitions and another ten distinct cognitive related impairments associated with IGD were identified.
Conclusion: The present review found empirical
evidence supporting the association of IGD with
particular types of cognitions and specific cognitive related impairments.
