Gender is another correlate of video game addiction, with men being more likely to
become video game addicts than women (Reiss & Cahill, 2008). This is in direct concordance
with previous research regarding more well known forms of addiction, particularly gambling
addiction (Steinberg, 2008). With far more men engaging in video game use than women, Reiss
and Cahill's research further indicates the need for video game addiction research.
