  The present study aimed at comparing the aggression of students using violent computer games and other elementary school students in Aligudarz. The research employed causal-comparative method in which the researcher compared the effects of using violent computer games on aggression of students. The population of the present study was 3908 male elementary school students in Aligudarz during 2015-16. 50 students were randomly selected from four schools and then Eysenck's aggression test, with 29 equivocal questions were provided to them. To test the research hypothesis, independent t test was used at the significance level of 0.05. Results showed a significant difference between the means of study. In other words, using violent computer games significantly affected aggression level of male elementary students in Aligudarz and a significant difference was observed between users and non- users.Also, the results showed that more than half of the users of these games tend to play violent computer games and tend to play these games individually.

  The present study aims to investigate the effect of computer games on the mental health of the high school students. This study was ex post facto. The statistical population included all high school students in Gorgan. Using Cochran formula, the sample was estimated 456 individuals. To select the sample, first, some schools were randomly selected as a cluster among the four districts of the secondary schools in Gorgan using cluster sampling and then the needed sample was randomly selected according to the population of any school (based on the students' gender and population). Data collection tools were the Standard General Health questionnaire GHQ28 in four dimensions of somatic symptoms, anxiety and insomnia, depression level, and social dysfunction. The data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics including independent t-test and one way ANOVA. The obtained results showed that computer games affect the students' somatic symptoms, but they don't affect the students' anxiety and insomnia, depression level, social dysfunction and in general, their mental health. Furthermore, in comparing the demographic variables, there was a significant difference between the female and male students with regard to their somatic symptoms, anxiety and insomnia, and mental health (overall); however, no significant difference was found based on their educational level.

  The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between playing computer games and students’ mental health and academic performance. Regarding the purpose, the research was applied, and the method of performing was descriptive and correlational. The statistical society included 1576 boy secondary school students in Galikesh town, Golestan province in academic year 2011-2012. Using Krejcie and Morgan table, 310 people were selected as the sample via stratified random sampling with respect to base distribution. The data has been collected via two questionnaires: SCL-25 public health questionnaire with reliability of 0.88 and standardized questionnaire (to gather information about the amount and type of computer games) with reliability of 0.826. To analyze the data, Chi-Square test, t-test and Pearson correlation coefficient were used. The results revealed that there was a significant relationship between computer games and students’ mental health. There was also significant relationship between computer games and students’ academic performance. There was no meaningful difference between the types of computer games (simple/violent) and mental health. Students’ academic performance had meaningful relationship with the type of computer games. It is, therefore, imperative that parents should be more careful about the amount and the type of computer games that children play. Manuscript profile
