ABSTRACT
Online gaming addiction is characterised by excessive use, difficulty controlling playing time, and prioritising gaming as the main activity. This condition can increase exposure to negative interactions within games, such as conflicts between players and the use of abusive language, which may lead to aggressive behaviour. Consequently, the researchers were motivated to undertake this study with the aim of examining “The role of online gaming addiction in aggression amongst young adults in Kupang City”. This study employed a quantitative approach using a correlational design to examine the role of online gaming addiction in aggression amongst young adults in Kupang. Sampling in this study utilised non-probability sampling, specifically accidental sampling. The total sample comprised 380 respondents aged between 20 and 24 years. The data collection technique employed a questionnaire as the primary data source, administered directly to the sample. The instrument used was Google Forms. This study analysed the data using SPSS Statistics for Windows version 27. The hypothesis, tested using simple linear regression analysis, showed that there is a significant relationship between online gaming addiction and aggression among young adults in Kupang City, with a correlation coefficient of 0.538 and a p-value of < 0.001. These findings indicate that the higher the level of online gaming addiction, the higher the level of aggression. Based on the R-squared value obtained, online gaming addiction accounts for 28.9% of the variance in aggression. Meanwhile, online gaming addiction accounts for 1.7% of the variance in physical aggression, 1.5% in verbal aggression, 0.2% in anger and 1.6% in hostility.
