Data presented as standardized regression coefficients ± standard error, except female sex, which are nonstandardized, with statistically significant associations shown in bold.

*

Standardized regression coefficients can be interpreted as the number of SDs the WFIRS-P score would increase, given a 1 SD increase in the predictor variable. CGAS Computer/Gaming station Addiction Scale
