Description
Introduction: The relationship between students' tolerance for anger and their daily
gaming habits significantly affects their emotional and academic well-being. Excessive
gaming can contribute to increased anger issues and negative psychological outcomes,
which individual sleep patterns may also influence. This study aims to develop effective
strategies for emotional regulation and mental well-being by examining the impact of sleep
duration and online gaming on students' ability to manage anger.
Method: This cross-sectional research design involved 149 students from various
departments at Rajshahi University, selected based on gender and place of residence. The
study utilized the Anger Tolerance Scale (ATS). Participants were chosen through
convenience sampling, and data were collected using questionnaires. Correlation analysis
was performed, and data analysis was conducted using SPSS Statistics. The study achieved a
Cronbach's alpha of 0.82, indicating acceptable internal consistency.
Results: The findings indicated a positive correlation between daily sleep hours and anger
tolerance, while daily gaming habits negatively impacted this tolerance. Additionally, less
sleep was linked to more time spent playing online games.
Conclusions: The study found that students' anger tolerance is closely tied to sleep patterns
and gaming habits. Insufficient sleep and excessive gaming hinder effective anger
management. These findings highlight the need to evaluate sleep and gaming behaviors to
help students manage emotions, offering insights for mental health professionals and educational institutions.
