Abstract
Computer games are exciting entertainments for teens that are attractive due to their charm and enjoyment. Today, with the expansion of computer games, we witness various complications. Social science experts emphasize the role of these games in isolating, confusing, and reducing social interaction among adolescents as a result of computer game addiction. In this study, the role of computer games was studied with a focus on adolescent addiction to these games in their isolation. The study used a survey design and questionnaires and interviews were used to collect data on the two variables of computer addiction and soliloquy in adolescents. The reliability of the research instrument was confirmed using Cronbach's alpha test. The population of this study was all male students of guidance schools in Kashan in 2018. Using Cochran sampling formula, 320 individuals were randomly selected and surveyed. The research findings showed high correlation between the two variables of computer addiction and student isolation. Pearson test results were r = 0.452, the reliability of the relationship between the two high variables was statistically significant in the 99% confidence level. The type of relationship is positive indicating that with the increase in the rate of addiction to computer games, we are witnessing an increase in the social isolation of students.
