Читать книгу Overcoming Internet Addiction For Dummies - David N. Greenfield - Страница 69

Children of addicts may be more susceptible to developing addictions, and the addiction of choice may differ from that of the parent. For example, if the parent has an addiction to alcohol, the child or teen may develop an addiction to video games, gambling, or another behavior. The data on genetic influences on addiction seem to show some inheritability for general addiction, but even so, this only accounts for some of the reasons why addictions occur. The best thinking seems to point to addiction being a multi-causal problem with many variables involved and Internet and video game addiction is likely to be no different.
