Abstract (2. Language): 
The aim of the study is to examine the self-perceptions of elementary school sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade students who are aged between 12 and 15 about computer game addiction. In the research, the game addiction scale was employed in order to determine students’ self-perceptions. The scale was administered to 1467 elementary school students. Of the participants students in the research, 16,8% described themselves as individuals experiencing problems in computer game addiction. On the other hand, it was determined that the factors of age and gender create significant differences in students’ self-perceptions, whereas the factors of socioeconomic level and grade level do not.
