“…The IGDS is a one-factor, polythetic instrument consisting of nine questions with a dichotomous response format (no/yes). It had been repeatedly applied to German adolescent samples and could proof good psychometric properties [19,[28][29][30]. The parental version of the IGDS could be shown to be a valid and psychometric useful instrument to add external symptom views and had been validated in a sample of German adolescents and their caregivers [27].…”

Background: Adolescents affected by Gaming Disorder (GD) show substantial impairments in daily functioning. GD was included in the 11th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) as a new diagnosis coming into effect in January 2022. An instrument to screen for GD in adolescents has not yet been published and is urgently needed for scientific research and clinical practice. Methods: In the present study, the ICD-11-based Gaming Disorder Scale for Adolescents (GADIS-A) was developed by clinical experts and scientists. It was validated with 819 frequent gamers of 10 to 17 years and a respective caregiver in an online survey. Criterion validity was examined by assessing gaming behavior, emotional dysregulation, and academic performance. Item structure was investigated by factorial analyses. ROC- and Latent Profile Analyses were computed for differentiation between GD and Non-GD. Results: In line with the ICD-11 approach and accounting for cognitive-behavioral symptoms and negative consequences equally, GADIS-A items were best described by two factors. The new instrument showed excellent internal consistency, good criterion validity, and excellent discriminatory power. Conclusions: GADIS-A is the first successfully validated questionnaire to assess ICD-11 GD in adolescents. Thus, it can significantly contribute to reliably identify affected adolescents in clinical and research settings.

“…At the same time, children suffering from behavioral di culties might use electronic media to relax or to escape from everyday worries [7]. The association might also be explained by third factors that underlie both media use and behavioral di culties, e.g., a low self-esteem [8,9].…”

“…Another possible explanation is that children with health problems, behavioral di culties or low academic achievement are particularly interested in media or use media as means of coping, i.e., to relax or to escape from everyday problems [7]. Also, speci c personality traits might promote both higher media usage and psychopathology, e.g., low self esteem [8,9].…”

Background: This study investigates the times adolescents engage in different media activities (including entertaining and educational activities) and explores associations with behavioral strengths and difficulties and school grades. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 664 10- to 18-year-old adolescents (350 boys, 314 girls) participating in the LIFE Child study in Germany. Participants completed questionnaires on their media use, on strengths and difficulties (using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire), and on their school grades in mathematics and first language. Associations of the times engaged in different media activities via mobile phone or computer (traditional communication, social media use, gaming, playing learning games, watching videos, and searching for information) with behavioral strengths/difficulties and school grades were assessed using linear regression analyses (adjusting for age, gender, and socioeconomic status). Results: With the exception of playing learning games, each media activity was followed for almost one hour per day, with high inter-relations between the single activities. Gaming, watching videos, social networking, traditional communication, and playing learning games were significantly associated with more behavioral difficulties in at least one domain (emotional problems, conduct problems, hyperactivity/inattention, peer-relationship problems, prosocial behavior) and with lower school grades. Searching for information showed the weakest associations with behavioral difficulties and no association with school grades. In a multivariate analysis, searching for information was associated with fewer behavioral difficulties. Conclusions: Using media to search for information might weaken the adverse effects of other media activities on school performance and behavioral adjustment.

“…Positive effects of gaming have also been empirically researched, although such research has been overshadowed in comparison to research on negative effects (Segev et al, 2016). For instance, prior research investigated whether playing video games correlate to increases in tendencies of hyperactivity/inattention and low self-esteem (Wartberg, Kriston, Zieglmeier, Lincoln, & Kammerl, 2018). Video games have also been studied in the context of aggression, with some researchers observing potential neural markers of desensitization to violence in video games (Engelhardt, Bartholow, Kerr, & Bushman, 2011).…”

The IAFOR Journal of Psychology & the Behavioral Sciences is a peer-reviewed, editorially independent, and interdisciplinary journal associated with the The International Academic Forum's (IAFOR) Conferences on Psychology & the Behavioral Sciences. This issue is devoted to several interdisciplinary studies which represent diverse topics, cultures, and disciplines in the fields of psychology and the behavioral sciences. All papers published in the journal have been subjected to the rigorous and accepted processes of academic peer review. The articles are original, and some are significantly revised versions of previously presented papers at IAFOR conferences. We want to express our sincere gratitude to all reviewers for taking time from their busy schedules to review each assigned manuscript and offer their professional expertise, and recommendations for improvement of these published papers.
