Abstract

This research investigates the relationship between online gaming addiction and students  level of concentration in the subjects of Hindu Religious Education and Ethics at SMA Negeri 1 Narmada. The study involved 80 Hindu students as respondents who filled out a questionnaire. Data was analyzed using SPSS 24 software with descriptive statistical techniques. The calculation of mean and standard deviation was used to classify the students  level of concentration. The correlation between online gaming addiction and concentration level was evaluated through correlation analysis. The results of the study reveal a significant negative relationship between online gaming addiction and students  level of concentration. Students who are addicted to online gaming show lower levels of concentration in the subjects of Hindu Religious Education and Ethics. Conversely, students who reduce their online gaming addiction demonstrate an improvement in their concentration levels. This research supports the behaviorism theory by Thorndike and B.F. Skinner, which states that online gaming addiction is influenced by environmental stimuli. Therefore, schools need to create a conducive learning environment that fosters creativity and educates students on responsible technology use. The importance of supervision and support from schools and parents is emphasized to help students manage their time effectively. In conclusion, this study indicates a significant negative relationship between online gaming addiction and students  level of concentration in Hindu Religious Education and Ethics subjects. Students excessively engaged in online gaming tend to have lower levels of concentration, while those who can control their online gaming addiction show improved concentration levels.
