The authors conducted the research in partnership with two schools in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, in response to concerns over the effects of non-educational video gaming and texting on students' school experiences. Educational professionals wanted to refer to research findings when they advised parents to monitor their children's video gaming and texting activities. The research purpose was therefore to examine the correlations between various factors and school experiences in grade 9. The factors included social relations (e.g., friends), extra-curricular activities (e.g., work), and leisure-time activities (e.g., playing video games and texting). Because of the nature of data collected by Likert-scale surveys, and because the quantitative survey questionnaire was "homemade," the authors did not anticipate collecting statistically significant findings. The research was essentially testing the waters to see whether any correlations would arise. It is recommended that the research should be repeated, preferably with an enhanced instrument, using a longitudinal research design.
