Navoa, Jewel Mae A. This study investigated the relationship of the personality traits in the Big-Five Theory, which are Openness to Experience, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, agreeableness and Neuroticism to Online game Addiction. Previous researches about the topic did not use all of the personality traits in the big five, and others used a different type of personality model. The researchers then used this theory to know more about online game addiction. A total of 150 students from different universities in Metro Manila participated in the study through 3 responses were omitted. The Big Five Inventory Scale was used to measure personality while Online Game Addiction Diagnostic Scale was used to measure the tendency of getting addicted to online games. In the multiple and stepwise regression analysis that were executed, the researchers found out that low conscientiousness and one’s sex can significantly predict the tendency of online game addiction. The result implies that males are more susceptible to getting addicted to online games and if one's conscientiousness is low, he or she is more at risk of getting addicted to online games than those who have levels of conscientiousness. 2012-01-01T08:00:00Z text https://animorepository.dlsu.edu.ph/etd_bachelors/10838 Bachelor's Theses Animo Repository
