The purpose of this study was investigating the problem-solving ability among users of computer games. Problem -solving ability refers to the person's ability to deal with problems and difficulties faced with problems at playing games. Research methodology in this study was a descriptive survey-type Statistical population in this research consisted of all pre-university students in Hamadan’s City in 1390-91academic year. Consisted: 260 of these students were selected by using multi-stage cluster sampling method. Data analysis was performed by using one way ANOVA test. The Tool for gathering data was Standard problem-solving questionnaire) Peterson and Heppner, 1982). After analyzing the data by using One wayANOVA test, result showed that: 1- there were significant differences between groups in the confidence for problem-solving (p<0.05, sig 0.048).2- There were no significant differences between groups in the trends- avoiding style to problem-solving (p<0.05, sig 0.325). 3- Also no significant differences was found between groups in personal control regarding problem solving (p<0.05, sig 0.810).There were significant different differences in confidence in problem solving. Among the group that played computer games and basis and those that played games several times a week and those who played such games a limited number of times per week and those who did not try the games all. But the groups showed no significant different with regard to trends avoiding style to problem solving: of course problem solving is a variable which is affected by various factors including socio-cultural and economic conditions. And in order to promote problem_solving ability relevant conditions show be prepared.
