Abstract

The phenomenon of online game addiction among youth has emerged as a critical concern in today’s digital society, significantly influencing social interaction and educational outcomes. This study aims to examine the psychological and sociological effects of excessive online gaming through a systematic literature review. Data were collected from 32 scholarly articles and undergraduate theses published between 2013 and 2025, and analyzed to identify recurring behavioral and academic patterns. The findings indicate that approximately 70% of the reviewed studies reported a decline in face-to-face communication, emotional sensitivity, and empathy among young gamers. Moreover, 65% of the sources highlighted academic disengagement, decreased motivation to learn, and lower performance levels. Prolonged gaming also correlates with heightened stress, anxiety, and irregular sleep cycles, demonstrating the multifaceted nature of this behavioral issue. These impacts extend beyond the individual, disrupting family relations and school environments. The study recommends integrated interventions involving parental monitoring, educator participation, and balanced digital policy implementation to foster responsible gaming habits. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of online game addiction by integrating perspectives from social learning and behavioral addiction theories, providing a conceptual framework for future studies on youth digital behavior.

Abstract

This study explores the legal and managerial implications of the absence of a Student Executive Board (Badan Eksekutif Mahasiswa/BEM) at Universitas Pamulang. Law No. 12 of 2012 on Higher Education recognizes students’ rights to form intra-campus organizations as part of their academic and civic development. Nevertheless, Universitas Pamulang operates only through faculty-based associations (HIMA), without a university-level BEM. Using a normative juridical approach and descriptive qualitative analysis, this research reveals that the absence of BEM restricts student representation, weakens interfaculty coordination, and limits participatory decision-making. From a legal perspective, this condition indicates partial non-compliance with statutory obligations regarding organizational rights. From a managerial perspective, it reflects a governance gap that undermines accountability and inclusivity. The findings highlight the need for universities to align legal compliance with participatory management practices to enhance institutional legitimacy and educational quality. The study recommends that higher education institutions establish representative student bodies to foster democratic engagement and fulfill the mandates of national law.
