Gaming isn't the problem, but when does it become one?Video games can build thinking skills, provide stress relief, and foster social connections. Yet for some people, gaming begins to interfere with work, school, relationships, and everyday life.In this episode of JCU Conversations, our guest Associate Professor in Psychology Dr Peter Chew, whose research focuses on behavioural addictions, unpacks the difference between passionate gaming and problematic gaming. He discusses why Singapore appears to have higher rates of problematic gaming among young adults than the global average, the role stress plays, common misconceptions about gaming addiction, and what parents, educators and individuals can do to recognise the warning signs early.This episode’s host: Dr Yow Yong Jie, Lecturer in Psychology at James Cook University (Singapore Campus).  🎧 Listen Now: https://www.jcu.edu.sg/jcu-conversations/podcasts/jcu-conversations-50-peter-chew 🔗 Explore More Episodes: https://www.jcu.edu.sg/jcu-conversations Subscribe for more engaging conversations with industry leaders and experts! 🌟 Spotify - jcu.sg/spotify Apple Podcasts - jcu.sg/apple YouTube Playlist - jcu.sg/youtube#JCUConversations #Podcast #University
