- Abstract
The scientific literature shows that video games and their relationship with health predictors is a subject yet to be investigated in the child and adolescent population. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between habitual consumption of video games and attention in schoolchildren in the fifth and sixth years of primary education. A cross-sectional descriptive study was designed with a sample of 125 schoolchildren. Selective attention was assessed by means of the Perception of Similarities and Differences Test and video game consumption habits were assessed by means of the Questionnaire on video game consumption habits. Statistical analysis did not show a significant association between habitual video game playing and attention (β = -0.442; t = - 0.454; p >.05). On the basis of these results, we conclude that habitual video game playing is not associated with attention in primary school students. In this sense, longitudinal and prospective studies should determine the way in which the tendency to have a greater habitual consumption of video games, and/or behaviours in relation to this variable, may condition the attention of individuals throughout their schooling and in later life.
