Drawing on the self-regulatory executive function model, this study aimed to demonstrate the psychometric robustness of negative and positive gaming-specific metacognitions assessed by the short-form Metacognitions about Online Gaming Scale (MOGS; Study 1). Then, Study 2 aimed to explore bidirectional associations between these two factors of the MOGS and IGD among a broad age spectrum of Chinese adult gamers. Through online surveys, we obtained data from Chinese community adults: Study 1 surveyed 409 past-month gamers (<em>M_age</em> = 42.45, <em>SD</em> = 11.66; 53.8 % female) and Study 2 surveyed 266 past-month gamers (<em>M_age</em> = 34.76, <em>SD</em> = 11.78; 65.8 % female). Results of Study 1 supported the robustness of the two-factor structure, demonstrated the short-form MOGS’ satisfactory convergent validity and reliability, and displayed its scalar invariance between community adults and university students. Study 2 found bidirectional associations between negative metacognitions only and IGD, in which baseline negative metacognitions were associated with higher levels of individuals’ follow-up vulnerability to developing IGD. In contrast, IGD had a prospective effect on negative metacognitions 6 months later. IGD also showed a significant prospective effect on positive metacognitions. These findings demonstrate that the short-form MOGS is a cost-effective tool for measuring gaming-specific metacognitions in Chinese adults, highlighting the prominent role of negative metacognitions in the vicious circle of maladaptive metacognitions and IGD, which has implications for IGD preventions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7155,"journal":{"name":"Addictive behaviors","volume":"163 ","pages":"Article 108245"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142933896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First-year college students (<em>N</em> = 1,172) from three large U.S. universities participated in a three-year longitudinal study (surveys were approximately 1 year apart). The students reported demographic information (i.e., birth sex, race, ethnicity), perceived injunctive peer norms, drinking outcomes (i.e., peak, heavy episodic drinking, and consequences), and perceived maternal behaviors (i.e., modeling alcohol use, monitoring, alcohol communication) and attitudes toward drinking (i.e., general approval and drinking limits). Results indicated that being White (compared to Asian and Black) predicted higher perceived maternal general approval of alcohol use and higher perceived maternal drinking limits during students’ second year in college. And, perceived maternal drinking limits, but not general approval, assessed during students’ second year predicted all three drinking outcomes during the students’ third year. This study supports previous research showing the impact of parental permissiveness, especially drinking limits, on college drinking and highlights the role of race as a predictor of parental permissiveness.
