| Sumario: | Despite the popularity and benefits of video games, concerns have arisen in different areas, especially in the addictive aspect. Previous literature highlights family behaviors as relevant factors. The objective of this review was to update the relationship between parental behaviors and video game addiction in adolescents, identifying relevant behaviors for its prevention and treatment, analyzing the factors involved, recognizing their cyclicality. 37 articles with 56 records were selected through a bibliographic search in Web of Science, Scopus and PsycInfo. Previously established associations were identified (abuse, support, knowledge, control, attachment and parenting styles, family functioning, parent–child relationship and mental health) along with new related factors (attitude towards video games, parental phubbing, parental conflicts, pressure) that could contribute to the prevention and treatment of this problem. The family environment is key to managing and preventing internet gaming disorder in adolescents. |
