Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between chronotype, video game addiction, and sleep quality in school-age children using structural equation modeling. It was performed using structural equation modeling, with 545 secondary school students in northern Turkey meeting the inclusion criteria. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews utilizing the Personal Information Form, the Morningness Eveningness Scale for Children (MESC), the Video Game Addiction Scale for Children (VASC), and the Sleep Quality Scale. The findings revealed that the average video game addiction score of children was 55.22, which was associated with poor sleep quality and efficiency. Additionally, chronotype was found to mediate the relationship between video game addiction and both sleep quality (β = 0.024; p < 0.001) and sleep efficiency (β = -0.068; p < 0.001). The model was found to be close to acceptable levels for the variables according to the fit indices.
本研究旨在利用结构方程模型研究学龄儿童的时间型、电子游戏成瘾和睡眠质量之间的关系。研究采用结构方程模型进行，土耳其北部有545名中学生符合纳入标准。数据是通过面对面访谈收集的，使用了个人信息表、儿童晨昏量表（MESC）、儿童电子游戏成瘾量表（VASC）和睡眠质量量表。研究结果显示，儿童电子游戏成瘾的平均得分为 55.22 分，这与睡眠质量和效率低下有关。此外，研究还发现时间型对电子游戏成瘾与睡眠质量之间的关系具有中介作用（β = 0.024; p p
期刊介绍：
Chronobiology International is the journal of biological and medical rhythm research. It is a transdisciplinary journal focusing on biological rhythm phenomena of all life forms. The journal publishes groundbreaking articles plus authoritative review papers, short communications of work in progress, case studies, and letters to the editor, for example, on genetic and molecular mechanisms of insect, animal and human biological timekeeping, including melatonin and pineal gland rhythms. It also publishes applied topics, for example, shiftwork, chronotypes, and associated personality traits; chronobiology and chronotherapy of sleep, cardiovascular, pulmonary, psychiatric, and other medical conditions. Articles in the journal pertain to basic and applied chronobiology, and to methods, statistics, and instrumentation for biological rhythm study.
