Interventions to tackle the problem of online gaming addiction is of utmost importance (Kuss et al., 2021). This is because online gaming addiction is a globally pervasive challenge and health problem that is affecting the societal fabric (Basol and Kaya, 2018). The prevalent rate of internet addiction varies from 12.6% to 67.5% globally (Kuss et al. 2021). Research suggests that there are various factors which motivate an adolescent for online gaming addiction including the need for belonging, developing relationships and the need to escape among others (Xu et al., 2012; Yee, 2006; Jeng, 2008). However, extant research, till date, has not examined the role of an adolescents’ micro-environment and the role of parents in avoiding and/or reducing gaming addiction. The proposed study seeks to address the problem of online gaming addiction among adolescents (age 12 to 19 years) by adopting a novel resilience-based approach.
