Spirituality Studies 10-1 Spring 2024 87 Veronika Mihaliková, Mária Dědová, Vladimír Filipovič Received February 15, 2024 Revised February 28, 2024 Accepted February 29, 2024 Key words Internet Gaming Disorder, spirituality, life satisfaction, well-being The study examines levels of Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD), life satisfaction, and their relationship to the importance of spirituality and the practice of religious faith in adolescents. Level of Internet Gaming Disorder was measured by the IGD questionnaire (IGDS9-SF, Pontes et al. 2015), spirituality was measured by three items: 1. “Are you religious?”, 2. “Spirituality is important in my life”, 3. “Practicing of spirituality is important in my life”, and the measure of life satisfaction through the SWLS (Diener et al. 1985). The results of the study indicate a significant positive relationship between life satisfaction and spirituality; spirituality and Internet Gaming Disorder did not show a relationship. The level of life satisfaction predicted the occurrence of Internet Gaming Disorder (OR = 1.06). Gender affiliation was associated with the prevalence of Internet Gaming Disorder in favour of boys. Mgr. Veronika Mihaliková is the lead author of this research study and a doctoral student of psychology at the Department of Psychology, Faculty of Philosophy at Trnava University, Slovakia.
