Chapter 1

Problem and Its Background

Introduction

Recently, young adults are responsible to be a productive person to any activities such

as school performance, interaction and even on household chores. However, these digital natives

are being addicted to mobile games. Mobile games can be play on feature phone via online and

offline mode. One of these mobile games that young adult play is Mobile Legends: Bang Bang

(MLBB), to play this game the player needs a compatible and strong internet connection to run

out the game. This game can be downloaded from the play store, Appstore or other mobile

portals. This game can also transfer to one phone to another with the help of sharing tool such as

"share it " or other loaded cable that is connected to computer.

In the first place, a person who hear about the possible effects of mobile legends thinking

that how could a simple game like that lead to an addiction or a positive one. Nowadays, some of

the people prefer to spend too much time alone rather than to interact to own family. Mobile

Legends are a game that’s is very consumable to time so a player will choose to play than

starting conversation to the family, but think of it there are a lot of effects when you play the

mobile legends either positive or negative. In the study of Nard et al.,(2008), the researcher

concluded that there is a social interaction when you play ml. Possibly it can strengthen the

relationship to the family by playing it and consider as family time In behalf of the research , the

mobile legends also lessen the ignorant, selfishness, of the gamer to the own family or others

.According to Koo et al., (2014) there are several family influences that a parent can use to
Page 9 of 63

prevent lesser time for family. These family influences are parent- child restriction, limitation

and monitoring time. Further to the study of Jong and Kim (2011), there are less engagement of a

family interaction that can associated to the problematic mind of the gamer. Through the article

of Leona (2012), despite of this uncertainty there are a lot of awareness that can extend the

family communication through playing together and consider as a family bonding.

In the article of Dai and fry (2014) entitled "Games throughout of gamers" there are

casual and serious family games that even start to console a game. with the flourishing market of

mobile phones. Partly to the research of Gray (2018) mobile games increase the population of the

gamer that is playing ml without the consent of the parent and guardian. Konitz (2014) stated

that the socialization of the gamers is commonly used in same study, it also stated that the family

bonding is continuously decrease. Those game businesses can have a rapid growing market that

can lead to the diversion of the gamers. According to SoHo (2015), the evolution of mobile

games is the successful improvement that the technology persists because of young adults’

willingness to download it anywhere and anytime. Although these advantages can lead to

disadvantages if it is use improperly. There are a lot of perceive effect to family interaction when

you play mobile legends.

Review of The Related Literature

The mobile games such as Mobile Legends: Bang Bang have been commonly play

nowadays by the young adults. As the mobile games evolve, the addiction on playing games

have continuously increase. Due to the addiction, the socialization of the young adult is affected

especially the interaction to the family. In this chapter as a discussion of related literature and

studies that had been taken on books, journals, articles and also dissertation.

I. Video Games

In this study of Castillo (2016), the young adults on the Philippines and worldwide are

addicted to play video game play. Even the parents believe that playing video games such as

mobile legends help the young adult to interact and gain knowledge. Despite to the study of

Benigno (2014), when you enter to a computer shop around manila, you are able to encounter a

dozen of young adult that is shouting. Those young adults are not fighting, instead doing bad

things, teenager choose to play video games. Benigno also stated that being too much in anything

is never been a good thing.

In the article of Dipasupil-Barros (2014), a question is mention “How parent can know all

about video games?”. The article shows the mixed effect of video games.
Page 15 of 63

The continuous innovation of mobile phone symbolizes that almost young adults now had a

device which is possible to play billion online games that can be downloaded on Appstore. The

popularity of mobile games had caught the attention of young adults’ players especially the men

player. The quality of the game, the excitement and happiness of the player when playing mobile

games serve as the temptation to play rather than doing productive thing (Keogh (2016)). Baker

(2014) argued that video games can lead to violence games (video or online) can lead to

addiction? On the present year, many researcher’s point of view stated that at the year of 2025

the presence of interaction is very differently from now. Throughout of innovation, of the mobile

phone, the online games also widely multiple and tide.

In the study of Vida et al., (2014). Console games can help the mutual conversation to

round between the individual assessment and family assessment, by the help of this games the

respond to the family differently can be determined.

On this generation, there is a lot of invention occurred that can help the parent to easily

manipulate the playing of the children. According to Rohmer (2012) one of this invention is

“digital family portrait” which can be used to determine where young adult’s player is active or

not. Similarly, to the study of Ronan et al., (2007), suggested that every parent and gamer should

use the family window which their feelings, thoughts, point of view can be expressed while

playing.

In this study of Kim (2011) the less interaction to the family by the gamer is effecting due

to the improper playing of mobile games. Out of Geo respondents the probability of relationship

between 2 is very current.

Page 16 of 63

Wang (2013) the other possibilities of less family interaction is a developmental disorder

which conclude of losing interest to socialize and choose to be alone can be one of factors.

However to the studies of Choo’s (2015) the parenting style of the parents can reduce the

negative effect of playing mobile games. These include the parental restriction and mentoring

this researcher conclude that a parent should be responsible also for playing of there should be

responsible also for playing their children. One of this case is the study of Wu, Wong et al.,

(2016) among 2,021 adolescents, 1.9 times higher in the adolescents was differently confused to

other in the aspect of restriction. However, some parents are not been successful to restricting

own daughters and son so parents end up on monitoring.

With the evidence in the research team of Shimmenti et at., (2014) the adolescents /

young adult which often played the mobile legends have been experience family trauma. This

leads to express each feelings of the player and its purpose.

According to King et al., (2017) The possible solutions to problematic gaming of young

adults is different adoption/application of the studies by the different researchers. Although to the

contradiction of the study of (Yeung et al., (2016)) the changes of this problematic should come

up first to the self-awareness to derived the personal solution that the player can easily to adopt.

Behind of this is the proper orientation / restriction of the parents.

Local Related Literature:

In the study of Catayoc (2011), pursuing young adult to play online games attentively.

The online games make the young adult being aggressive due to the peer pressure of playing. In
Page 17 of 63

this study, Catoc relate the relationship of the current player to own family. However, on the

study of Decastro (2012) in “computer games nakakatulong ba o nakakasira sa interaction” leads

to being greedy that is often result when playing instead of family bonding.

According to Rina (2012), there is different effect that mobile games, can be positive or

negative. It depends on how people can hand or managed the time of playing. This study

contradicts to Ioan Ganz (2005), In this study there are a lot of evidence which can be proof in

negative effect on playing online games such as mobile legends.

Social Development

The video games have been increasingly performed in the lives of young adults, but there

are questions that have been raised how mobile games or other medium impacted the

socialization of the teenagers. In the study of Yee (2006), researcher stated that there is no

significant connection between playing mobile games in mentally aspect of the player. In fact,

there are some mobile online games that enhance the mental aspect of a player such as intend on

goal seeking and high achievement. In further expression, Cole and Griffiths (2007) proof that

playing games require high level of social interaction to attain similar goals with other team

mates which is attainable. Additionally the eighty percent of 912 respondent choose to play

mobile games with help of family, friends, classmates, co-workers, neighbors and etc.

furthermore, the research of Cole and Griffiths shows that online video games can use to enhance

and strengthen the ties of the relationship to one another or maybe a group. In fact, Krotaski

(2004) agreed to Cole and Griffiths and encourage group interaction that result of forming social

development.

Family Interaction
Page 18 of 63

The video games interaction includes more relationship with stranger people, (Durkin and

Barber (2007)) stated that gamers are more closely to the family rather than young adults who

doesn’t play online games. However the fact that video games can be play alone, many gamers

choose to play with friends or family as indicate with LAN gamers which James and Marten

(2005) stated. Additional to research, Durkin and Barber proof that with the help of video games

relationship to family will have a strong foundation than other relationships.

According to Rosses Jr. et al., (2007) the video games cannot only be played by young

people, at this time the average of today’s gamer such as parent can have a family time bonding

with the use of being acceptable nor other times because of the potential of bring happiness and

satisfactory with the interaction to the family.

Synthesis

The studies show how can the mobile legends affect the family interaction of the gamers.

According to the study of Castillo (2016); Durkin and Barber (2007) playing online games can

causes positive and negative effect or in other terms "domino effect" which says that games can

cause anxiety or depression to the gamer or maybe an entertainment. Those researchers also says

that as you play the game the mind of the person or the gamer could also affected because of

different variance does the game have. However, to the study of Dipasupil - Barros (2014), the

article concluded that a gamer would able to strengthen the ties of a family if the players would

able to manage the time properly with the help pf family members. The Filipino researchers also

name as Benigno (2014) stated that Filipino gamers are being reciprocal for business aspect such

as computer shops. However, in contradiction of Yee (2006) the video games can also improve

the mental health of the person.

Page 19 of 63

According to Keogh (2016) and Vioda et al., (2014) there is greater chance that a gamer

could possibly adapt the family assessment by relating it on how the mobile legends apply.

Methodology

In this chapter it shows the research procedure, which are able to used by the researcher

on this study. The research procedure presented as follows: (a) research methods; (b) population

and sampling; (c) respondent of the study; (d) research instrument; (e) validation of instrument;

(f) data gathering; (g) statistical treatment and analysis of data.

Research Method

In this study, the researcher integrated a descriptive quantitative research approach in

conducting a study of effects mobile legends to the family interaction to the young adults.

Possinasetti (2014), a descriptive study is not manipulated. This is use you describe what exist of

variables in situation. The information derive from the study will provide a better knowledge

about the effect of mobile legends that are very successful for the parents, gamers of the

Greengate homes phase 2.

Page 20 of 63

Respondent of the Study

The research works involves 133 residents of Ggh phase 2 (Average age: 18 years old 56

19 years old 44,20 years old 50)

Research Instrument

The researchers will use self-made and adopted instrument to gather the data from the

respondents, the descriptive quantitative survey is applicable to this study on effects of mobile

legends to the family interaction among young adults’ resident of Greengate Homes Phase 2. The

researchers made instrument is all about the demographic profiles, and numerous questions for

the games however the adopted questionnaire from the research of Kyeoghta (2018) uses Likert

scale to distinguish the level of perception on the study. This include the agree, disagree, neutral,

strongly agree and strongly disagree.

Validation of the instrument

The structure survey form was guided and reviewed by Dr. Mary Ann Aquino, other

teachers and researchers for revision and feedback. After Dr. Aquino validate the instrument,

retest method where conduct to the respondents.

Population and Sampling

It shows the age population (N) and sample size with its percentage by using solving formula.

The researchers use cluster sampling because the population is too much large.

Data Gathering Procedure

In conducting the data of the study with the help of survey forms, the following step

occurred:

Phase 1: To make the study legal, researchers ask for the approval of the adviser.
Page 22 of 63

Phase 2: Survey request was distributed to the respondent with its allotted time before the survey

start. After this researcher gave the self-made and adopted forms and orient the respondents

about answering question forms.

Phase 3: After gathering the forms, researchers would able to analyze and tally of the answer by

the respondents then interpret the data about the perceived effect of mobile legends to family

interaction among young adult residents at Green gate Homes Phase 2.

Statistic Treatment and Analysis of Data

To analyze the data, the researcher should use the statistical treatment. Frequency count

had been use to determine the count of responses. This frequency count is very vigorous in

ranking method is use to categorize the response of the respondent accordingly. The category of

the mean present the degree level of the frequency so the researchers can measure the response’s

average of respondents. The researcher use statistical measure such as; Anova Single Factor for

statement problem #4 that can distinguish in the differences of variables and a Likert scale to

measure the opinions of the respondents and range to able to distinguish the largest and smallest

of the data. Researchers also use z test to derive the result of problem #3.

which may have result to 98(74%) of the respondents that play mobile legend while female is

35(26%). There are male respondents are greater than female respondents.

Correlation to the study of Khanam (2017) state that male young adults are the one

who mostly play the mobile legends rather than the female young adults. However, on the

study of Lhakam (2015) the female young adults are the one who mostly play mobile

legends.

40 or 29% that is 19 years old while 20 years old are 44 or 33% of the respondents. As a

result, most of the respondents that playing mobile legends are 18 years old.

From the study of Kurbawa (2015), the respondents are ranges on 18 to 20 years old that

is same on the researchers study. As a result the ages that are playing mobile legends are

mostly 18 to 19 years old.

According to Pontrie (2016)’ players who played mobile legend became aggressive due to

their emotion that can trigger them to say some trash talk on their co-player. Differently to

the study of Hantrie (2017) players are chill when playing online or either mobile games.

mobile legends.
Page 30 of 63

Correlated to the study of Klane (2011), young adults are consuming 6 to 10 hours on

playing mobile legends. Consequently, on addition to the Loyand (2014) most of the

respondents spent almost 21 hours on playing mobile games.

day.

In the statement of George et.al (2013), young adults are commonly play mobile legends

every day. It results to inappropriate task that the respondents do. Somehow to the study of

Reyne (2017) not all young adults became addicted to the mobile legends to the point that

young adults play every day.

adults. Z test was used on this question because the population is more than 100 and there are

two variables that should be compared.

Then, to the statement of the Honkorg (2016); the popularity of so attracted gamers by the

demographic profiles is from beyond teenage boys, as had the adolescent and desires. Therefore,

the current study in terms of gender could be factual by its relationship to this study.
