“…As they were used in samples of adolescents and young adults (12+ years old) from countries that did not have English as their official language, it is possible that these four instruments also represent English instruments that have been validated in non-English languages. These four instruments are the IGDS ( Lemmens et al, 2015 ) that was validated with a sample of Dutch adults and adolescents, the Video Game Dependency Scale (CSAS) ( Rehbein et al, 2015 ) that was validated with a sample of German adolescents, the 10-Item Internet Gaming Disorder Test (IGDT-10) ( Király et al, 2017 ) that was validated with a sample of Hungarian gamers, and the Three-Item Gaming Disorder Test–Online-Centered (TIGTOC) ( Jo et al, 2020 ) that was validated with a sample of Korean adolescents.…”

Measuring Internet Gaming Disorder and Gaming Disorder: A Qualitative Content Validity Analysis of Validated Scales

Numerous instruments have been developed to measure gaming-related health problems based on “internet gaming disorder” (IGD) in the third section of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th ed.) and “gaming disorder” (GD) in the International Classification of Diseases (11th rev.). However, the criteria in the manuals tend to be operationalized in numerous diverse ways, which can make screening outcomes incomparable. A content validity analysis is needed to reassess the relationships between the diagnostic criteria and the items that operationalize them. The IGD and GD criteria were divided into sematic components. A qualitative content validity analysis was carried out for all items employed by the 17 instruments that claim to measure either construct by their criteria in English. In all but one instrument, the operationalizations did not include all criterion components. There were two main reasons found for this: the components had simply been left out or had been alternatively modified into other components. Criteria that were vaguely described in the manuals were sources of lower content validity items. The study implies that many of the problems in IGD and GD measurement derive from criteria operationalization and original manual descriptions. The conclusion provides practical recommendations that researchers can apply to improve the content validity of their measurement.

“…In addition, Sun Je Jo found that TIG-TOC scores were positively associated with weekly time spent playing online games, measures of IA obtained through the IAT, ADHD symptoms, and depressive symptoms; TIGTOC is a reliable tool with a high Cronbach alpha. However, despite the strength that the gold standard for ED diagnosis is determined through such a rigorous process [11].…”

“…Given the pervasive pattern of problematic behaviors associated with adolescent digital media use, it seems quite appropriate to test whether there is an empirical relationship [10]. Addressing the issue of online gaming and the issue of mental health consequences children and adolescents playing online games is important given the usual trajectory of neurodevelopment; adolescence is characterized by increased maturation of the limbic system, which makes adolescents more likely to engage in addictive behavior than adults [11]. Therefore, this study set out to systematically examine the impact of online game addiction behavior on adolescent mental health.…”

Abstract: Introduction: The World Health Organization (WHO) in 2019 determined that Internet Gaming Disorders (IGD) were included as mental health disorders. Among adolescents, excessive online gaming has become a lifestyle and is associated with psychological symptoms (psychopathological symptoms and life satisfaction), social health (social interactions) and physical health (general health and body mass index). The IGD has now become a problem all over the world. AIM: This study aims to analyze the impact of online game addiction on adolescents using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) approach. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Subjects were searched extensively from the Pubmed, Sage, Science Direct, and Scopus databases. The search used the keywords "online game addiction", "mental health", and "youth". The inclusive criteria for the included literature in this study were as follow; the literature had to be sourced from journal article, written in English, available in full text, the published between 2011-2021, and the age of the adolescent subject should be 13-18 years. We identified 81 articles of which 20 were deemed relevant for this systematic review. RESULTS: This review study shows that problematic online gaming behavior has a strong negative correlation with various subjective health outcomes. CONCLUSION: Early relevant prevention for adolescents from the IGD is the appropriate use of internet/ gadgets as the only option to avoid or to reduce the symptoms of internet addiction and online games.

“…However, clinicians also require developmentally meaningful transdiagnostic screening tools that can quickly and efficiently flag youth with clinically salient irritability. Indeed, there is a growing trend in the field to develop ultra-brief scales for use in busy clinic settings to indicate when further evaluation or referral is needed (Abramovitch et al, 2022;Jo et al, 2020;Rivera-Riquelme et al, 2019). In line with this, Wiggins et al (2018) utilized the MAPS-TL to generate a developmentally specific, two-item clinically optimized screener to flag preschoolers with clinically concerning irritability.…”

ObjectivesDevelopmentally specified measures that identify clinically salient irritability are needed for early school‐age youth to meaningfully capture this transdiagnostic risk factor for psychopathology. Thus, the current study modeled the normal:abnormal irritability spectrum and generated a clinically optimized screening tool for this population.MethodsThe irritability spectrum was modeled via the youth version of the Multidimensional Assessment Profile Scales—Temper Loss Scale (MAPS‐TL‐Youth) in children (n = 474; 6.0–8.9 years) using item response theory (IRT). Both cross‐cutting core irritability items from the early childhood version and new developmentally specific items were included. Items uniquely associated with impairment were identified and used to derive a brief, clinically optimized irritability screener. Longitudinal data were then utilized to test the predictive utility of this clinically optimized screener in preadolescence (n = 348; 8.0–12.9 years).ResultsMost children exhibit irritability regularly, but daily occurrence was rare. Of the top 10 most severe items from the IRT analyses, 9 were from the developmentally specific items added for the MAPS‐TL Youth version. Two items associated with concurrent impairment were identified for the clinically optimized irritability screener (“Become frustrated easily” and “Act irritable”). The MAPS‐TL‐Youth clinically optimized screener demonstrated good sensitivity (69%) and specificity (84%) in relation to concurrent DSM 5 irritability‐related diagnoses. Youth with elevated scores on the screener at early school age (ESA) had more than 7x greater odds of irritability‐related psychopathology at pre‐adolescence.ConclusionsThe MAPS‐TL‐Youth characterized the developmental spectrum of irritability at ESA and a clinically optimized screener showed promise at predicting psychopathology risk. Rigorous testing of clinical applications is a critical next step.
