Abstract

Background: Previous studies have shown that the Gaming Disorder Test (GDT) and Gaming Disorder Scale for Adolescents (GADIS-A) have promising validity and reliability when assessing symptoms of gaming disorder among young adults. However, validity and reliability properties of the two scales have not been established among a Vietnamese population.

Objective: The present study translated the GDT and GADIS-A into Vietnamese and examined their factor structures, measurement invariance, convergent validity, concurrent validity, and divergent validity among university students.

Methods: A total of 610 young adults (mean age = 21.09 years; 63.4% females) were recruited using convenience sampling and who completed a paper-and-pencil survey between April and June 2023. All participants completed a demographic questionnaire, GDT, GADIS-A, and six standardized scales related to gaming disorder, social media addiction, smartphone addiction, and psychological distress. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), internal consistency testing, and Pearson's correlations were performed.

Results: CFA showed that the GDT had a one-factor structure and the GADIS-A had a two-factor structure. The internal consistency was excellent for both scales among this population. Moreover, both GDT and GADIS-A showed convergent, concurrent, and divergent validity with other standardized scales.

Conclusion: The Vietnamese versions of the GDT and GADIS-A have good psychometrics, which may be utilized in future research regarding gaming disorder among Vietnamese populations.

青少年游戏障碍测试和游戏障碍量表：在越南青少年中的翻译和验证。

背景：以往的研究表明，游戏障碍测试（GDT）和青少年游戏障碍量表（GADIS-A）在评估青少年游戏障碍症状时具有良好的有效性和可靠性。然而，这两个量表的有效性和可靠性尚未在越南人群中得到证实：本研究将 GDT 和 GADIS-A 量表翻译成越南语，并考察了它们在大学生中的因子结构、测量不变性、收敛效度、并发效度和发散效度：采用便利抽样法共招募了 610 名年轻人（平均年龄 = 21.09 岁；63.4% 为女性），他们在 2023 年 4 月至 6 月期间完成了纸笔问卷调查。所有参与者都填写了一份人口统计学问卷、GDT、GADIS-A 和六个与游戏障碍、社交媒体成瘾、智能手机成瘾和心理困扰相关的标准化量表。研究人员进行了确认性因子分析（CFA）、内部一致性测试和皮尔逊相关性分析：CFA显示，GDT为单因素结构，GADIS-A为双因素结构。在该人群中，两个量表的内部一致性都非常好。此外，GDT和GADIS-A与其他标准化量表都具有收敛效度、并发效度和发散效度：结论：越南语版的GDT和GADIS-A具有良好的心理测量学特性，可用于未来有关越南人游戏障碍的研究。
