Online game addiction is a current problem faced by teenagers. Excessive online game playing can make teenagers lose interest or even ignore their real lives. This situation will alter their social life due to the lack of interaction between individuals and the social environment. This research aimed to find out the correlation between online game addiction and social adjustment among junior high school students. This research was quantitative with a correlative descriptive design and used a cross-sectional study approach. The population was State Junior High School 8 students of Banda Aceh, totaling 663 students. The sample was 249 students, chosen by cluster random sampling technique. The data was collected by using an online game questionnaire of Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short-From (IGDS9_SF) and a social adjustment questionnaire with a Likert scale. The data was analyzed using Spearman’s rank test. The research results show a correlation between game online addiction and social adjustment among students of State Junior High School 8 of Banda Aceh with the p-value = 0.000 and r = -0.230 (pvalue < 0.05).
