I’m studying for my Psychology class and need an explanation.

Topic:

Comparison of Psychological Symptoms and Serum Levels of Neurotransmitters in Shanghai Adolescents with and without Internet Addiction Disorder: A Case-Control Study

We will only focus on the amount of neurotransmitters and not the anxiety/depression part. Also, our control and experimental groups need to be different. We will have 100 people chosen randomly. Our control group will be 50 people who don’t use a computer for 1 hour, but we will use the results from the article of the group without Internet addiction disorder. For the experimental group, we will have 50 people who play an action game on a computer for 1 hour, and we will use the results from the article of the group with Internet addiction disorder.
