  Abstract

Concerns about gaming disorder have intensified as more people play games in their free time due to the global pandemic of COVID-19. However, the academic concept related to gaming disorder has not yet been consistently defined. Therefore, this study seeks to comprehensively review the concepts of gaming disorder defined in various disciplines. For this, topic modeling and context analysis were conducted on 561 studies published in Korea between January 2002 and August 2021. As a result of topic modeling, many studies have been steadily conducted on variables related to gaming disorder or results caused by gaming disorder. Detailed variables of gaming disorder and game-related regulations were influenced by social issues that occurred at the time. As a result of content analysis, there were various terms referring to the concept of gaming disorder by academic discipline. Research related to gaming disorder is particularly active in certain academic disciplines such as pedagogy, and many studies mainly conducted on teenagers to analyze variables or effects of gaming disorder. Based on these results, we suggest implications related to future research of gaming disorder.
