A total of four schools, two are in a village (45.5%, n=211) and two are in a center (50.4%, n=215), were selected from Nigde province in the middle of the Turkey by convenience sampling. Among the respondents, 48.8% were female (n=208) and 51.2% were male (n=218). The data were collected with "Bourdon Attention Test (Letter Form)-BAT" and "Computer Game Addiction Test".
