Description This study is focused on personality traits of computer games players. The Eysenck's personality questionnaire (EPQ) was used. Differences in psychoticism and extraversion between players and non-players were found. Adolescents who play computer games were significantly more extravert and got lower score on psychoticism scale than non-players. Results indicate that heavy use of computer games is associated with higher score on psychoticism, neuroticism, crime and addiction scale.
