As a rising public health challenge, IGD significantly disrupts individuals\u2019 lives. Investigating attentional biases in IGD is vital for designing targeted interventions. Methods: Attentional bias was measured in individuals with IGD using the Addiction Stroop Task. The participants were classified into three cohorts: IGD, Recreational Game Users, and non-gaming controls. Electroencephalography\/event-related potential (EEG\/ERP) data were collected and analyzed from electrodes Pz, Cz, and CPz. Findings: Compared to the RGU and control groups, the IGD group displayed significantly greater P300 amplitudes and prolonged response latencies to both gaming-related and neutral stimuli. Furthermore, the IGD group reported elevated impulsivity, anxiety, and depression levels relative to the other groups. Conclusion: Contrary to conventional attentional bias models in addiction\u2014which emphasize preferential attention to addiction-related cues\u2014individuals with IGD exhibited intensified neural reactivity to all stimuli. This suggests excessive cognitive resource mobilization, potentially indicative of hyperarousal or dysregulated neurobiological processes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.34172\/ahj.1571","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,6]],"date-time":"2025-12-06T16:12:34Z","timestamp":1765037554000},"page":"1571","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.34172\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Assessment of Attentional Bias in Internet Gaming Disorder Using the Addiction Stroop Task and Event-Related Potentials"],"prefix":"10.34172","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1751-3569","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Sina","family":"Motamedy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Neuroscience Research Center, Institute of Neuropharmacology, Kerman University of Medical Sciences, Kerman, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4822-7629","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Mohammad Navid","family":"Ebrahimi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neuroscience Research Center, Institute of Neuropharmacology, Kerman University of Medical Sciences, Kerman, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3881-2699","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Mazyar","family":"Fathi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Research Center, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2407-2124","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Maryam","family":"Talebi Moghaddam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology, School of Public Health, Kerman University of Medical Sciences, Kerman, Iran"},{"name":"Noncommunicable Diseases Research Center, Fasa University of Medical Sciences, Fasa, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8601-8989","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Shahrzad","family":"Mazhari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Park, Mental Health, West Moreton Hospital And Health Service, Brisbane, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5495-5289","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ali Mohammad","family":"Pourrahimi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neuroscience Research Center, Institute of Neuropharmacology, Kerman University of Medical Sciences, Kerman, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"20123","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,6]]},"container-title":["Addiction and Health"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/ahj.kmu.ac.ir\/article_92531_bb7d9d2db235adcd6b59f11c39d260a8.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/ahj.kmu.ac.ir\/article_92531_bb7d9d2db235adcd6b59f11c39d260a8.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,6]],"date-time":"2025-12-06T16:12:34Z","timestamp":1765037554000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/ahj.kmu.ac.ir\/article_92531.html"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,6]]},"references-count":0,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.34172\/ahj.1571","relation":{},"ISSN":["2008-4633","2008-8469"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2008-4633","type":"print"},{"value":"2008-8469","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,6]]},"assertion":[{"value":"Kerman University of Medical Sciences","name":"journal_owner","label":"Journal Owner"},{"value":"Kerman University of Medical Sciences","name":"journal_publisher","label":"Journal Publisher"},{"value":"2024-05-17","order":1,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2024-06-24","order":2,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2025-09-06","order":3,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
