Using Bowlby and Ainsworth’s attachment theory this study explored the associations attachment style and social anxiety and online video game play. I hypothesized that secure attachment and low social anxiety would mean less time playing online video games. One hundred and forty one participants completed the Relationship Scales Questionnaire, Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale and a scale developed specifically for this study that included biographical information and online video game habits. Neither attachment style nor social anxiety significantly correlated to online video game play time. Although no statistically significant connections were found, there is some evidence to suggest that persons with insecure attachment and social anxiety are positively impacted by their online gaming relationships. This is a preliminary study in a wide open research area. Clinical implications for family therapists are outlined as well as limitations and future research.
