Abstract
In this study, the relationship between independent variables (use of computer games, access to violent games, and training in the correct use of games) and dependent variable (delinquency) was examined. The research method is descriptive-correlational and the purpose of the research is applied. Data collection was carried out through library studies and a researcher-made questionnaire. The content validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by experts and professors, and the face validity was confirmed using a pre-test and correction of ambiguous questions. The reliability of the questionnaire was also calculated using Cronbach's alpha coefficient for each section and the entire questionnaire. The statistical population includes children and adolescents present in Ahvaz correction and education centers in 1402-1403 who are kept in these centers due to committing crimes. The sample size was determined as 132 people using the Cochran formula, and finally 109 valid questionnaires were collected. The research findings showed that proper training in the use of games has a significant negative effect on delinquency, while easy access to violent games and excessive use of these games have a positive relationship with increased delinquency and antisocial behavior.
