Existen investigaciones que demuestran los beneficios que tienen los videojuegos a nivel emocional sobre la vida del adolescente. El objetivo de esta investigación es describir la asociación entre las horas dedicadas a los videojuegos y los niveles de estrés y ansiedad en adolescentes ecuatorianos jugadores de videojuegos durante el aislamiento producto de la pandemia Covid-19. Los instrumentos utilizados para medir las variables de estudio fueron; la escala de adicción a videojuegos para adolescentes (GASA) que mide la severidad al uso de videojuegos, el cuestionario de ansiedad (CMAS-R) que mide la variable ansiedad y la escala de estrés percibido (PSS-10) que mide los niveles de estrés. La muestra estuvo conformada por 82 adolescentes de género masculino y femenino. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo-correlacional en el paquete estadístico JASP, el cual descarto una correlación entre las variables de estrés y ansiedad y el uso de videojuegos antes y durante de la cuarentena, pero si se evidencio una correlación fuerte entre la severidad y las horas de videojuego antes y durante la pandemia
