Чоловић V. Mitić Г. Никић Video games are an easily accessible medium that most adolescents prefer and choose as their favorite way of activities and entertainment. Current research determines whether playing video games by adolescents is good or bad, as it can affect the development different types of abilities that can lead to better success in school or possibly, due to excessive use, can have the totaly opposite effect. It also examines whether there are differences in the examined phenomena between adolescents of different gender and age, as well as what is the dominant type of media through which these games are played. The sample consisted of 400 adolescents aged 12 to 19. The research was conducted online through Google forms. Data were processed in the SPPS program, using appropriate techniques. The results showed that male adolescents played video games more often than girls, as well as older adolescents compared to younger ones. However, younger adolescents who play video games perform better in school. Mobile phones are the most commonly used medium for playing video games. The implications of the results are reflected in the provision of relevant information to economic entities present in the video game market in order to more successfully develop appropriate video games and attract more customers. Also, educational institutions may consider ways in which video games could be used in teaching, given that they provide a number of benefits over traditional ways of learning. Subsequent research can be extended to the adult population, to explore if they have a higher frequency of playing video games, as well as whether and how much they contribute to their success in the workplace. article https://doi.org/10.26458/25126 25 1 529 543 2393-1795 Annals of Spiru Haret University.
