| Sumario: | Objective: To determine whether dependence on video games and social skills influence aggressive behavior in adolescents. Methodology: This study employed an explanatory, cross-sectional methodology with a non-experimental design. A total of 245 third-year high school students, aged 13 to 15 years, participated. Results: Multiple regression analysis revealed a correlation coefficient of R = 0.390 and an adjusted determination coefficient of R² = 0.145. The video game dependence variable showed a beta coefficient of β = 0.189, indicating that video game dependence is a direct predictor of aggressiveness, albeit with very low intensity. In contrast, social skills had a beta coefficient of β = -0.321, suggesting that social skills indirectly influence aggressiveness with low intensity. Conclusion: Students with higher levels of video game dependence and lower social skills have up to a 14% likelihood of exhibiting aggressive behaviors. |
