Abstract

The development of digital technology and increasing use of online games among adolescents pose challenges to students' emotional development, particularly vocational high school students who are at the stage of character formation and self-control. Excessive use of online games can cause difficulties controlling emotions, decreased discipline, and impulsive and aggressive behavior.
