This study was conducted to determine the serial mediator effect of the negative automatic thoughts and self-regulation within the relationship between reasoning skills and video game addiction of middle-school students. The correlational research model among the quantitative research designs was used in this study which was conducted with the participation of 468 middle-school students.
