This research study is to find correlations between gaming disorder, self esteem and academic performances among the high school students of Kannur District. Most of the research existing today is in the context of internet addiction, smart phone addiction, decline in self - esteem and academic performance. But none of the studies were conducted in Indian Territory. The behaviour and addiction status of children are crucial as it brings in lot of challenges both for them as well as to the society as it triggers even the suicidal tendency. The proposal tries to establish correlation by considering a sample of 300 high school students (age 13 - 15), with a positive trend towards gaming disorder. These students will be administered with the shortet version of Gaming Addiction Scale and Coopersmith Self - esteem inventory. Also the academic performance of the subjects will be collected. The data will be analysed using Pearson's correlation coefficient(r), t tests and ANOVA.
