Abstract

The present study evaluated the psychometric properties of a self-report scale for assessing Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) symptoms according to the DSM–5 and ICD–11 among 3270 college/university students (2095 [64.1%] females; age mean 21.6 [3.1] years) from different countries worldwide. Croatian, English, Polish, Portuguese, Serbian, Turkish, and Vietnamese versions of the scale were tested. The study showed that symptoms of IGD could be measured as a single underlying factor among college/university students. A nine item symptom scale following DSM–5, and a short four-item scale representing the main ICD–11 symptoms, had sound internal consistency and construct validity. Three symptom-items were found non-invariant across the language samples (i.e., preoccupation with on-line gaming, loss of interests in previous hobbies and entertainment, and the use of gaming to relieve negative moods). This study provides initial evidence for assessing IGD symptoms among college/university students and will hopefully foster further research into gaming addiction in this population worldwide especially with taking into account language/cultural differences.

评估大学生网络游戏障碍的症状:一项自我报告的国际验证研究

本研究根据DSM-5和ICD-11对3270名大学生(2095名[64.1%]名女性;全球不同国家的平均年龄为21.6[3.1]岁。测试了克罗地亚语、英语、波兰语、葡萄牙语、塞尔维亚语、土耳其语和越南语版本的量表。研究表明，在大学生中，IGD的症状可以作为一个单一的潜在因素来衡量。按照DSM-5编制的九项症状量表和代表ICD-11主要症状的四项简短量表具有良好的内部一致性和结构效度。三个症状项目在语言样本中被发现是非恒定的(即，沉迷于在线游戏，对以前的爱好和娱乐失去兴趣，以及使用游戏来缓解负面情绪)。这项研究为评估大学生的IGD症状提供了初步证据，并有望促进对全球这一人群的游戏成瘾的进一步研究，特别是在考虑语言/文化差异的情况下。[塞尔维亚教育、科学和技术发展部项目，批准号:179002]
