Objectives: to correlate different attachment styles with the exposure of Lebanese male adolescents to violent video games.
Methods: This study was carried out between October and December 2019 among 388 Lebanese male adolescents from five Lebanese schools.
Results: 190 participants (48.8%, CI: 0.43 – 0.53) were classified as having a high exposure to violent video gaming. Higher age (Beta=-1.64) and higher dismissing attachment style (Beta=-1.38) were significantly associated with less violent video gaming. Higher fearful attachment style (Beta=2.98) was significantly associated with more violent video gaming.
Conclusion: This study focuses on the association between different attachment styles and the exposure of Lebanese male adolescents to violent video games. Adolescents with more insecure attachment styles were found to be more exposed to violent video games.
