Abstract:

 The research was conducted to examine the emotional intelligence, social and emotional loneliness and digital game addictions of secondary school students. A personal information form designed by the researchers in line with the literature, Social and Emotional Loneliness Scale SELSA developed by DiTommaso, Brannen, and Best 2004 and adapted to Turkish by Çeçen 2007, Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire  Adolescent Short Form  TEIQue-ASF developed by Petrides and Furnham 2000 and adapted into Turkish by Ergin 2017 and the Digital Game Addiction Scale GAS developed by Lemmens, Valkenburg and Peter 2009 and adapted into Turkish by Irmak and Erdoğan 2015 were used to collect data. The analysis of the data was performed in computer environment with SPSS-25 statistical package programs. Skewness and kurtosis tests were performed to determine the distribution of the data. Descriptive statistics were applied to normally distributed data, t-test was used for independent groups, and simple linear Pearson correlation analysis and multiple regression test were performed to determine the relationship between scales. In conclusion, it was determined that as the digital game addiction of middle-adolescent students increased, social and emotional loneliness increased, and that emotional intelligence 5.4 was at an explanatory level in predicting digital game addiction.
