Abstract

The present study aimed to use a novel method (i.e., network analysis) to examine if the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale–Short-Form (IGDS9-SF) has its unidimensional structure supported across different subgroups, including gender groups, continent groups, and age groups. Participants from five continents (n = 545 in Africa; n = 27,910 in Americas; n = 4640 in Asia; n = 88,835 in Europe; and n = 1633 in Oceania) completed the IGDS9-SF. The IGDS9-SF items showed a positively correlated network with moderate-to-high predictability (mean of R² = 0.338, SD = 0.068). Moreover, the network analysis results suggested that the IGDS9-SF is very likely to have a one-factor model. This one-factor model was further found to be invariant across gender groups (men vs. women), continent groups (Africa, Americas, Asian, Europe, and Oceania), and age groups (minor aged under 18 years, young adults aged between 18 and 30 years, and adults aged 30 years or above).

网络游戏障碍量表-简表（IGDS9-SF）的网络分析：洲际大规模研究

本研究旨在使用一种新颖的方法（即网络分析）来检验网络游戏障碍量表-简表（IGDS9-SF）的单维结构是否在不同的亚组（包括性别组、大洲组和年龄组）中得到支持。来自五大洲的参与者（非洲 545 人；美洲 27910 人；亚洲 4640 人；欧洲 88835 人；大洋洲 1633 人）完成了 IGDS9-SF 测试。IGDS9-SF 项目显示了一个正相关的网络，具有中高预测性（R2 平均值 = 0.338，SD = 0.068）。此外，网络分析结果表明，IGDS9-SF 很可能是一个单因素模型。该单因素模型在不同性别组（男性与女性）、不同大洲组（非洲、美洲、亚洲、欧洲和大洋洲）和不同年龄组（18 岁以下未成年人、18 岁至 30 岁的青壮年和 30 岁或以上的成年人）之间都是不变的。
