AB Video game playing behavior has serious consequences for adolescents on a personal,family, social, and academic level. This research aimed to examine risk and protective factorsinvolving incidence, persistence, and remission of gaming disorders symptoms (IGDs) in Spanishadolescents after nine months of follow-up. Data were drawn from self-administered questionnairescompleted on two occasions: at the beginning (T1) and end of the academic year (T2). A totalof 950 adolescents aged from 11 to 20 years (M = 14, SD = 1.52, 48.5% female) completed thequestionnaire at T1, while 550 adolescents aged from 11 to 18 years (M = 13.43, SD = 1.23, 48.9%female) took part in the follow-up study (T2). The incidence, persistence, and remission rates were6%, 2.7%, and 4.2%, respectively. Significant relationships with IGDs were found between the malegender and studying at a private school in T1 and T2. The findings show that the time spent playingvideo games during T1 was positively associated with IGDs in T1 and T2. The incidence of IGDs wasassociated with emotional problems and low family affection. The persistence of IGDs was linkedto higher motor impulsivity, agreeableness, and lower family resolve. Remission was related to adecrease in anxiety and hostility as well as an increase in the emotional stability of adolescents. Thesefindings imply that emotional well-being and family adjustment could be relevant for the effectivemanagement of gaming behaviors.
