Previous studies demonstrated that life satisfaction and aggression could be predictive factors for video game addiction; despite this the relationships between these factors and video game addiction have not been examined among Palestinian adolescents. This study was the first to explore the relationship between video game addiction with life satisfaction and aggression among school-aged students in Palestine (12-18) years. The sample consisted of 560 school students, selected randomly across area of study. Findings revealed that video game addiction scores were negatively associated with life satisfaction, whereas video game addiction scores were positively associated with aggression. Further studies are needed in order to set protective and therapeutic strategies for video game addiction.
