Abstract

Background

No research to date has examined cross-cultural differences in the pathways to internet gaming disorder (IGD). The current study aimed to address this limitation by examining the relationships between nationality (Singaporeans vs. Australians), culture orientation, gaming motivations, and IGD.

Methods

Participants were 101 Singaporeans (55.4% males) and 98 Australians (52.0% males). They completed the Culture Orientation Scale, the Motives for Online Gaming Questionnaire, and the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short-Form.

Results

A series of mediational analyses showed that Singaporeans tend to be more collectivistic (both horizontally and vertically). In turn, this culture orientation motivates them to play games for social reasons, increasing the risk for IGD. In contrast, Australians tend to be more individualistic (vertically only). In turn, this culture orientation motivates them to play games for competitive reasons, increasing the risk for IGD.

Conclusion

Limitations include the use of samples from two countries only, precluding a generalization of the results. Future research directions include examining the role of game genres as a mediator in the nationality-IGD relationship.

导致网络游戏障碍的跨文化差异。

背景：迄今为止，还没有研究探讨过网络游戏障碍（IGD）的跨文化差异。本研究旨在通过考察国籍（新加坡人与澳大利亚人）、文化取向、游戏动机和 IGD 之间的关系来解决这一局限性：参与者包括 101 名新加坡人（55.4% 为男性）和 98 名澳大利亚人（52.0% 为男性）。他们填写了文化取向量表、网络游戏动机问卷和网络游戏障碍量表-简表：一系列中介分析表明，新加坡人更倾向于集体主义（横向和纵向）。反过来，这种文化取向促使他们出于社交原因玩游戏，从而增加了患 IGD 的风险。相比之下，澳大利亚人更倾向于个人主义（仅纵向）。反过来，这种文化取向促使他们出于竞争原因玩游戏，从而增加了患 IGD 的风险：研究的局限性包括研究样本仅来自两个国家，因此无法将研究结果普遍化。未来的研究方向包括研究游戏类型在民族-IGD 关系中的中介作用。

期刊介绍： Asia-Pacific Psychiatry is an international psychiatric journal focused on the Asia and Pacific Rim region, and is the official journal of the Pacific Rim College of Psychiatrics. Asia-Pacific Psychiatry enables psychiatric and other mental health professionals in the region to share their research, education programs and clinical experience with a larger international readership. The journal offers a venue for high quality research for and from the region in the face of minimal international publication availability for authors concerned with the region. This includes findings highlighting the diversity in psychiatric behaviour, treatment and outcome related to social, ethnic, cultural and economic differences of the region. The journal publishes peer-reviewed articles and reviews, as well as clinically and educationally focused papers on regional best practices. Images, videos, a young psychiatrist''s corner, meeting reports, a journal club and contextual commentaries differentiate this journal from existing main stream psychiatry journals that are focused on other regions, or nationally focused within countries of Asia and the Pacific Rim.
