Abstract

In recent years, research on disordered gaming has grown substantially with researchers developing different psychometric tools for assessing it. Two of the most prominent assessment tools are the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale–Short-Form (IGDS9-SF) and the Gaming Disorder Test (GDT), which evaluate disordered gaming under the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and the World Health Organization (WHO) frameworks, respectively. The main aim of this study was to assess and compare the scalability, reliability, and validity of both scales to determine if they effectively assess disordered gaming in a normative sample, through the Mokken Scale Analysis (MSA). A sample of 605 participants (42.31 % female, mean_age = 23.98 years, SD = 9.21 years) was recruited for the present study. Results showed that both the IGDS9-SF and GDT were unidimensional, with all items presenting latent monotonicity fitting in the Monotone Homogeneity Model (MHM). Item characteristic curves did not intersect and presented with adequate fit in the Double Monotonicity Model (DMM). These findings further support the psychometric adequacy of the IGDS9-SF and GDT, attesting to their suitability to assess disordered gaming.

网络游戏障碍量表-简表和游戏障碍测试的莫肯量表分析

近年来，关于游戏障碍的研究有了长足的发展，研究人员开发了不同的心理测量工具来评估游戏障碍。其中最著名的两种评估工具是网络游戏障碍量表-简表（IGDS9-SF）和游戏障碍测试（GDT），它们分别在美国精神病学协会（APA）和世界卫生组织（WHO）的框架下对游戏障碍进行评估。本研究的主要目的是通过莫肯量表分析法（MSA），评估和比较这两个量表的可扩展性、可靠性和有效性，以确定它们是否能有效评估常模样本中的游戏障碍。本研究共招募了 605 名参与者（42.31% 为女性，平均年龄为 23.98 岁，标准差为 9.21 岁）。结果显示，IGDS9-SF和GDT均为单维量表，所有项目均符合单调同质性模型（MHM）的潜在单调性。项目特征曲线不相交，在双单调模型（DMM）中表现出充分的拟合性。这些发现进一步证明了IGDS9-SF和GDT在心理测量学上的适当性，证明它们适用于评估游戏障碍。

期刊介绍： Addictive Behaviors Reports is an open-access and peer reviewed online-only journal offering an interdisciplinary forum for the publication of research in addictive behaviors. The journal accepts submissions that are scientifically sound on all forms of addictive behavior (alcohol, drugs, gambling, Internet, nicotine and technology) with a primary focus on behavioral and psychosocial research. The emphasis of the journal is primarily empirical. That is, sound experimental design combined with valid, reliable assessment and evaluation procedures are a requisite for acceptance. We are particularly interested in ''non-traditional'', innovative and empirically oriented research such as negative/null data papers, replication studies, case reports on novel treatments, and cross-cultural research. Studies that might encourage new lines of inquiry as well as scholarly commentaries on topical issues, systematic reviews, and mini reviews are also very much encouraged. We also welcome multimedia submissions that incorporate video or audio components to better display methodology or findings.
