INTRODUCTION

Rationale of the Study

As time pass by, technology continues to evolve. Because of technology, new things were created ,one of these things are mobile games. Moblie game are games played on a feature phone,smartphone,tablet,smartwatch,portable media player or graphing calculator. One of the most played game these days is Mobile Legends. Mobile Legends is created by China developer Moontoon Technology. It is a game designed which is only for phone. This game has two opposing teams to defend the fort so as not taken over the opponent. According to Benny(2018) playing mobile games can cause loss of productivity, one may not play for hours in a row, but probably doing it several times a day, take a couple of minutes just to check the game or complete a simple action instead of concentrating on the task one is doing. It sounds inoffensive but these dozens of mictransactions add up over the day or week and cause a lot of wasted time. Since the time mobile legend was released many teenagers were hook in playing this game. Indeed the vast majority of psychological research on the effects of gaming has been focused on its negative impact: the potential harm related to agression, addiction, and depression. It is likely that this fucos will not diminish in the near future, in part because of the enormous media attention garnered when mass killings are associated with youth who play violent video games (Ferguson 2007). But on the other hand, according to Pellis (2007) nueroscientific research with rats suggest specific brain mechanisms that help explain how play fighting in particular leads to the development of social competence. Gottman(1986) proposed that by context tough which themes of power and dominance, aggression, nurturance, anxiety, pain, loss, growth, and joy can be enacted productively. For example, in his qualitative

research on children use play for emotional mastery in their real lives. According also to Benny (2018) there are positive effects of playing mobile games such as improving brain functions. Daphne Bavelier says that the effect of video games on the brain is very similar to the effect of wine on the health: there are very poor uses of wine, there are also some very poor uses of video games. But when consumed in reasonable doses and at the right age, wine can be very good for health . Video games are the same and they have a number of ingredients that are very powerful for brain plasticity, learning, and attention or vision. In Jagobiao National Highschool playing online games are rampant, such as playing Mobile Legends which is commonly played by most students in Jagobiao National Highschool. Since the released of Mobile legends many of the students were into this game, we observed that this affects their attention towards their reponsibilities in home and in school, they gave more their attention on playing Mobile Legends rather than doing their responsibilities. Thus, this research wanted to know what are the positive and negative effects of playing this game. So we can provide posible solutions or recommendations that could prevent the negative effects of playing Mobile Legends.

Review of Related Literature This study assumes that playing Mobile Legends has negetive effects on the students. This study is anchored on the Craig A. Anderson and Karen E. Dill research on Video Games and Aggressive Thoughts, Feelings, and Behavior in the Laboratory and in Life. And on Isabela Granic, Adam Lobel and Rutger research on The Benefits of playing Video Games. Based on the study done by Craig A. Anderson and Karen E. Dill(1999), violent video games provide a furom for learning and practicing aggressive solutions to conflict situations. The effect of violent video games appears to be cognitive in nature. In the short term, playing a violent video game appears to affect aggression by priming aggressive thoughts. Longer-term effects are likely to be longer lasting as well, as the player learns and practices new aggression related scripts that become more and more

accessible for use in real-life conflict situations arise. If repeated exposure to violent video games does indeed lead to creation and heightened accessibility of a variety of aggressive knowledge structures, thus effectively altering the person’s basic personality structure, the consequent changes in everyday social interactions may also lead to consistent increase in aggressive affect. The active nature of the learning environment of the video game suggest that this medium is potentially more dangerous than the more heavily investigated TV and movie media. With the recent trend toward greater realism and more graphic violence in video games and rising popularity of these games, consumers pf violent games should be aware of this potential risks. While the study made by Isabela Granic, Adam Lobel, and Rutger (2014) began by summarizing the rich and long history of the study of play. They found that video games share many similarities with traditional games and likely provide benefits similar to those provided by play more generally. Both traditional and video games are fundamentally voluntary in nature, they can include competitive and cooperative objectives, players immerse themeselves in pretend worlds that are safe contexts in which negative emotions can be worked out, and games allow a sense of control with just enough unpredictability to feel deep satisfaction and intense pride when formidable goals are finally reached. Yet video games today and those on the radar for development in the near future are also unique forms of play.Video games are socially interactive in a way never before afforded. Ingcreasingly, players are playing online, with friends, family, and complete strangers, crossing vast geographical distances and bluring not only cultural boundaries but also age and generation gaps, socioeconomic differences , and language barriers. The large amount of time invested in playing video games may also mean that they provide qualitively different experiences than conventional games. Although we may remember spending whole weekends playing Monopoly with siblings and neighbors, few traditional games can boast the weeks and months of game play that many video games provides. This differences in space and time likely hold wholly new benefits and risks that have yet to be conceptualized.

Statement of the Problem The study aimed to know the effects of playing Mobile Legends on Grade 10 players in Jagobiao National Highschool; specifically the researchers sought to find out the answers to the following questions:

1.How many sessions a player spends on playing Mobile Legends in terms of the average time span of playing this game?

2. What are the negative and positive effects of playing Mobile Legends?
