Abstract

This study investigates the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Motives for Online Gaming Questionnaire (MOGQ). We explored the factor structure and construct validity of the MOGQ through its relationships with gaming disorder symptoms (IGD-20) and impulsivity traits. We also analyzed if sociodemographic variables and gaming habits were related to gaming motives. An online cross-sectional survey was completed by 845 college students. Structure validity was examined using a combination of exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, which supported a bifactor model composed of a general motivation factor and six uncorrelated factors (a mixed factor composed of escape and coping, competition, recreation, skill, social, and fantasy). Omega-hierarchical and omega coefficients were used to determine reliability of the MOGQ. The scale presented acceptable reliability for the general factor (ωh = .79) and the specific factor scores (social ω = .79, escape/coping ω = .81, competition ω = .79, skill ω = .84, fantasy ω = .82, and recreation ω = .70). Positive associations were observed between the MOGQ and the IGD-20 symptoms, with escape/coping (r = .48) and fantasy (r =.40) showing the strongest ones. Null or low correlations were observed with impulsivity traits. Motives to play varied significantly across genders. These findings provide evidence that the Spanish version of the MOGQ is a reliable and valid tool to assess motives to play online games.

西班牙大学生在线游戏动机问卷的心理测量特性。
本研究调查了西班牙文版网络游戏动机问卷(MOGQ)的心理测量特性。我们通过MOGQ与游戏障碍症状(IGD-20)和冲动特质之间的关系,探讨了MOGQ的因子结构和构建有效性。我们还分析了社会人口变量和游戏习惯是否与游戏动机有关。845 名大学生完成了在线横断面调查。我们采用探索性和确认性因子分析相结合的方法对结构有效性进行了检验,结果支持由一个一般动机因子和六个非相关因子(由逃避和应对、竞争、娱乐、技能、社交和幻想组成的混合因子)组成的双因子模型。Ω-层次系数和Ω系数用于确定 MOGQ 的信度。该量表的一般因子(ωh = .79)和特定因子得分(社交 ω = .79、逃避/应对 ω = .81、竞争 ω = .79、技能 ω = .84、幻想 ω = .82、娱乐 ω = .70)的信度均可接受。MOGQ 与 IGD-20 症状之间存在正相关,其中逃避/应付(r = 0.48)和幻想(r = 0.40)的相关性最强。与冲动特质之间的相关性为零或很低。不同性别的游戏动机差异很大。这些研究结果证明,西班牙文版 MOGQ 是评估网络游戏动机的可靠而有效的工具。
