Abstract
The purpose of this study was to identify the moderating effect of self-control in the relationship between online game addiction and depression among adolescents exposed to the online game environment. A total of 378 respondents who are high school students in K Metropolitan City were selected for the current study. The process macro program developed by Andrew F. Hayes was used to analyze for the moderating effect and the SPSS 25.0 program was used for frequency, descriptive statistics, and correlation analysis. The results showed that online game addiction in adolescents had a significant positive effect on depression and self-control had a negative effect on depression, and self-control had a moderating effect on the relationship between online game addiction and depression in adolescents. The higher the online game addiction among adolescents, the higher the depression, and the influence depends on the level of self-control.
