With the fast development of mobile technology, many functions of desktop computers have been transferred to mobile devices like ipad and smartphone, which is especially the case for game applications. We also discussed limitations and implications for mental health practice.

A further analysis on gender difference in the paths from mobile game addiction to these mental health outcomes was examined, and results revealed that male adolescents tend to report more social anxiety when they use mobile game addictively. We found that mobile game addiction was positively associated with social anxiety, depression, and loneliness. In this study, we examined the relationship between mobile game addition and social anxiety, depression, and loneliness among adolescents. However, very few studies have particularly examined the relationship between mobile game addiction and mental health outcomes, due to a lack of specified instrument for measuring this new type of behavioral addiction.
