Abstract

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between online game addiction and self-control with impulsive buying tendencies among adolescent Roblox users in Surabaya. The research problem is grounded in the increasing engagement in online gaming among adolescents, particularly on the Roblox platform, which is equipped with a virtual economic system. This study employed a quantitative correlational approach, involving 351 participants selected through purposive sampling. The research instruments consisted of an online game addiction scale, a self-control scale, and an impulsive buying tendency scale, which were analyzed using multiple regression analysis. The findings indicate that online game addiction is positively and significantly correlated with impulsive buying tendencies (β = 0.573; p < 0.001), suggesting that higher levels of addiction are directly associated with increased impulsive buying tendencies. In contrast, self-control did not demonstrate a significant correlation (β = 0.009; p = 0.581). These results indicate that online game addiction contributes directly to impulsive buying tendencies, while self-control has not been proven to play a significant role in reducing such tendencies among adolescent Roblox users in Surabaya.
