The descriptive research method was correlation type. The socio-statistics of the research included the students of Bojnord city in the academic year 1402-1401. Among these, 320 people were selected according to the entry criteria using a two-stage cluster sampling method. The tools used in this research included behavioral activator and inhibition scale, emotional dyslexia questionnaire and internet gaming disorder questionnaire. Pearson's correlation test and stepwise regression were used to analyze the data. The results showed that the dimensions of emotional dyslexia and brain-behavioral systems have a significant correlation with Internet gaming disorder in adolescents. The regression results also indicated that emotional dyslexia, behavioral activation system, and behavioral inhibition system explained 17%, 21%, and 22% of the variance of internet gaming disorder, respectively. Together, these two variables were able to explain 22% of the variance of Internet gaming disorder. Therefore, alexithymia and behavioral brain systems played an important role in predicting adolescent internet gaming disorder; In general, it can be concluded that emotional dyslexia and behavioral brain systems cause symptoms of Internet gaming disorder. The findings of the present research can have practical implications for psychologists in the field of etiology and intervention in Internet gaming disorder sufferers.
