Attention span is an issue that not only involves children, but also adults. This can occur while excessively playing video games. My thesis will show a correlation to how excessive video game playing can lead to a decrease in attention span within students of all ages. Excessive video game playing can hinder a child’s attention and can create social and behavioral problems within students who do or cannot communicate with their peers. This is essential in the process towards my goal settings as I want to become a mental health counselor. While understanding how a person’s attention can be altered while playing video games excessively, this can give me the tools and understanding with future clients suffering with a mental disorder that can include attention deficiency.

Thesis: Can the excessive amount of video game playing decrease a student’s attention span?
