Abstract

The global gaming community now exceeds 3 billion players, prompting increased attention from social and medical sciences regarding gaming-related disorders. Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) was incorporated into DSM-5 in 2013, and Gaming Disorder (GD) found its place in ICD-11 in 2019. A contentious criterion in IGD, not present in GD, revolves around withdrawal symptoms. This paper offers a theoretical foundation on gaming withdrawal symptoms in gaming-related disorders and conducts a scoping review of withdrawal operationalization and conceptualization in 40 selected studies, following PRISMA-ScR guidelines.

Most studies employed a correlation framework, relying on convenience samples and self-assessment questionnaires. A smaller portion focused on clinical samples and case studies. Withdrawal was predominantly conceptualized in terms of affective components, with less emphasis on behavioural, cognitive, physical, or neurological aspects. The prevailing terminology for gaming-related disorders was IGD, with only three studies referencing GD as defined in ICD-11. Notably, just six experimental studies included abstinence control.

We advocate for an expansion of research on withdrawal symptoms, particularly through experimental studies that implement abstinence within experimental groups and offer alternative operationalizations beyond dominant self-assessment measures.

对戒断在当代游戏障碍研究中的作用进行范围界定：概念化和操作化

目前，全球游戏玩家已超过 30 亿，这促使社会科学和医学界越来越关注与游戏相关的疾病。2013 年，网络游戏障碍（IGD）被纳入 DSM-5；2019 年，游戏障碍（GD）被纳入 ICD-11。IGD 中一个有争议的标准是戒断症状，而 GD 中则不存在这一标准。本文提供了游戏相关障碍中游戏戒断症状的理论基础，并根据 PRISMA-ScR 指南，对 40 项选定研究中的戒断操作化和概念化进行了范围审查。小部分研究侧重于临床样本和病例研究。戒断的概念主要体现在情感方面，而较少强调行为、认知、身体或神经方面。与游戏相关的疾病的主流术语是 IGD，只有三项研究引用了 ICD-11 中定义的 GD。我们主张扩大对戒断症状的研究，特别是通过在实验组中实施戒断的实验研究，并提供主流自我评估措施之外的其他操作方法。

期刊介绍： Clinical Psychology Review serves as a platform for substantial reviews addressing pertinent topics in clinical psychology. Encompassing a spectrum of issues, from psychopathology to behavior therapy, cognition to cognitive therapies, behavioral medicine to community mental health, assessment, and child development, the journal seeks cutting-edge papers that significantly contribute to advancing the science and/or practice of clinical psychology. While maintaining a primary focus on topics directly related to clinical psychology, the journal occasionally features reviews on psychophysiology, learning therapy, experimental psychopathology, and social psychology, provided they demonstrate a clear connection to research or practice in clinical psychology. Integrative literature reviews and summaries of innovative ongoing clinical research programs find a place within its pages. However, reports on individual research studies and theoretical treatises or clinical guides lacking an empirical base are deemed inappropriate for publication.
