Online games nowadays almost everything used by students. The rise in the use

can play through the Internet or over a computer network. Most of the time, online

gaming refers to the video games played over the Internet, where multiple players are

in different locations around the world. In most cases, online games are freeware

programs that can be used for an unlimited time and are available for free. Most

percentage of web games available nowadays is written in flash, shockware Java

languages. Some online games required specific piece of controlling hardware such as

joystick or game controller, but these days gaming technology has progressed to an

amazing extent. Things like streaming 3-D animation graphics with superb surround

Review of Related Literature

According to Payne et al (2000) studied the role of computer games on social

isolation, low self-esteem and violence. The results showed no relationship between

playing computer games and self-esteem in girls, but there was a negative relationship

between the two in boys. Also, the scores of violence had a positive correlation with

amount of exposure to computer games. Other results showed that in spite of children's

attraction to games, there was no evidence that computer games cause social

isolation.17 Since in computer games, players conform to the characters in the game, in

creating the new situations that occur in the game, the theory of participatory modeling

and active conditioning can be used in explaining data on violent behaviors and possible

rewards they get in response.

Azad Fallah et al (2001) in their study investigated the relationship between

games and social skills of 258 male students of first grade of high school. The results

showed a significant relationship between the game-type and presence of others in the

game location with social skills of adolescents. Selecting home as the place of game had

a significance negative relationship with social skills and those adolescents who were

mostly playing at home, had less social skill (cited from Doran).7However, in the present

study, there was an inverse relationship between addiction to computer games and

social dysfunction. It means that as the addiction to computer games increases, social

dysfunction will decrease.

Ahmadi (1998) studied the effects of computer games on adolescents of the city

of Isfahan. The aim of his study was to find out if computer games have social effects.

The results showed that violence and aggression in students who played these games

was higher than those who did not play. Also, social participation of students who were

playing computer games was low.

According to Alberto Posso when you play online games you’re like solving the

numbers in math, solving the puzzles because you’re using your mind to think and

you’re using your general skills. It tells that when you play online games every day it

helps to improved your academic performance. It also helps the mind of the kids to

explore new things.
