In recent years, increased interest in Internet Gaming Disorder has led to the development of the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form. Translation and subsequent validation of such a scale are important for cross-cultural use. The aim of the present study was to examine the psychometric properties (factor structure, reliability, and validity) of the Malay Version of the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form using a sample of Malaysian undergraduates. The present sample included 137 Malaysian undergraduates. Participants completed a self-administered online survey containing demographic items, the Malay Version of the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form, the Problematic Online Gaming Questionnaire-Short Form, and the Malay Version of the Internet Addiction Test. The present findings confirm the one-factor model of the Malay Version of the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form. Good reliability, as measured by Cronbach alpha, was found for the Malay Version of the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form. The Malay Version of the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form has demonstrated concurrent validity by significantly correlating with the Problematic Online Gaming Questionnaire-Short Form as well as demonstrated convergent validity with respect to the Malay Version of the Internet Addiction Test. The Malay Version of the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form is a reliable and valid tool for assessing Internet Gaming Disorder in Malaysian undergraduates. As more research is still needed to confirm the status of Internet Gaming Disorder as a formal disorder, it is hoped that the Malay Version of the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form can facilitate future research examining antecedents and consequences of Internet Gaming Disorder in a Malaysian setting.

AbstractBackground and aimsPatients with schizophrenia are known to use potentially addictive psychoactive substances as self-medication and to ease psychological distress. Other potentially addictive behaviors such as online gaming are also used to self-medicate and ease psychological distress. However, the role of online gaming and problematic gaming (in the form of internet gaming disorder [IGD]) has not previously been investigated for patients with schizophrenia facing distress.MethodsOne hundred and four participants diagnosed with schizophrenia were recruited and completed a number of psychometric scales including the Personal and Social Performance Scale (PSPS), Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form (IGDS-SF9), Self-Stigma Scale-Short (SSS-S), and Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale (DASS-21).ResultsThe results showed significant negative associations between PSPS, IGDS-SF9, and DASS-21, and significant positive correlations between the IGDS-SF-9, SSS-S and DASS-21. Moreover, IGD did not mediate the association between self-stigma and depression. However, IGD significantly mediated the association between self-stigma and anxiety, and the association between self-stigma and stress. In addition, (i) age and self-stigma were significant predictors for IGD; (ii) social function and self-stigma were significant predictors for depression; (iii) social function, self-stigma, and IGD were significant predictors for anxiety; and (iv) self-stigma and IGD were significant predictors for stress.ConclusionThe findings suggest that online gaming may be a coping strategy for individuals with schizophrenia with psychological stress and self-stigma and that for some of these individuals, their gaming may be problematic.

Abstract Background Problematic use of digital technologies has been attracting extensive amount of attention worldwide, especially (internet) gaming disorder (IGD). Prevalence of IGD varies across studies, depending mostly on the methodology, assessment tool and participant group. Despite numerous research on the topic a strong need to better understand technology's impact on population remains in order to better tackle this public health challenge. Methods National Survey on the Use of Tobacco, Alcohol and Other Drugs was conducted in 2018 on a national representative sample (n = 16,000; age: 15-64 years; 62.4% response rate), using mixed-mode (CAWI and CAPI). The final sample consisted of 9,161 respondents, of those 24.2 % (n = 2,212) reported having played a videogame in the last 12 months (gamers-only sample). Prevalence of IGD symptoms was assessed with 9-item Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short-Form using 5-point scale (total score: 9-45 points). Disordered and non-disordered gamers were dichotomized with a cut-off point at 36 points with higher scores indicating higher degree of IGD. Results Data shows 0.4% [95% CI:0.2-0.8] of the Slovenian gamers reported to have symptoms of IGD, whereas higher rates were observed within younger population. Namely, 1.0% [95% CI: 0.2-3.9] within 20-24 year olds and 0.7% [95% CI:0.2-2.2] within 15-19 year old. Men (0.5% [95% CI:0.2-1.2]) reported more IGD symptoms than women (0.1% [95% CI:0.0-0.8]). The share of IGD symptoms was also higher among unemployed and those who live without partner. Conclusions Results obtained in present study are consistent with results of comparable studies conducted in other countries. A relatively low share of IGD symptoms in the sample might be due to a high cut-off point. However, obtained data allows for tailored public health interventions in Slovenia, such as awareness raising and prevention and treatment programmes, as well calls for further analyses on IGD epidemiology and research methodology. Key messages 0.4% of the Slovenian residents, who played videogames in the last 12 months reported to have symptoms of internet gaming disorder, with higher rates observed within younger population. The share of population experiencing symptoms of internet gaming disorder in Slovenia is similar to that of other countries where comparable studies were done.
