SEIRS model analysis for online game addiction problem of mathematics students

Abstract

The purposes of this research are to build a SEIRS model on the game online addiction problem, analyze the model and do a model simulation to predict the level of online game addiction of Makassar State University students. This research is a library research, population in this study is 655 undergraduate students in mathematics with a sample of 248 student. Data collection techniques using questionnaires. Analysis of the SEIRS model of online game addiction uses a generalization matrix, while the simulation model uses the MatLab Software. The results of this study are the SEIRS mathematical model of online game addiction which is a system of differential equations. Analysis of the model gives an addiction-free equilibrium value and a stable endemic equilibrium point. The results also found a baseline value of R0 = 0.033 which showed that the level of online game addiction cases in mathematics students is not worrying, meaning that students addicted to online games did not cause other students to become addicted. The simulation results explained that 49 students were susceptible to online game addiction, 220 students began trying to play online games, 2 students were trying to get addicted to online games, and 13 students were released from online game addiction. Based on the results obtained from the number addicted to online games students the first four years increase, then reduced and constant on the eighth month.
