“…predictive power) of the different criteria de ning IGD and GD [28]. For instance, 'withdrawal' and 'loss of control' appear to be more signi cantly related to an IGD diagnosis than "preoccupation", "escapism" and "negative consequences" [28,29,30]. At this point it is noted, that the IGD term and criteria [26] will be followed in the present study.…”

Background Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) involves excessive use of Internet games to the extent that one’s everyday life is compromised. It has been suggested that IGD symptoms are dependent on a person’s cultural orientation. However, the range of potential cultural orientation effects on IGD presentations remains largely unknown. The current study aims to further understanding of the role of cultural orientation in IGD, allowing us to develop more culturally responsive and gamer centred IGD prevention and intervention strategies. Methods One thousand and thirty-two participants with internet gaming experience were measured for IGD symptom’s severity using the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale – Short Form (IGDS9-SF) and cultural orientation behaviours via the Individualism & Collectivism Scale (ICS). Latent Class Analysis (LCA) and T-Tests were performed in relation to their responses. Results Upon inspection of the LCA output, two cultural profiles of internet gamers were identified. These included the Collectivism Aversive gamers (CA; 11%) and the Collectivism Neutral gamers (CN; 89%). The CA gamers displayed significantly higher IGD behaviours overall, and, were higher in preoccupation, withdrawal symptoms, tolerance, relapse, deception, escapism/mood modification, and functional impairment compared to CN gamers. There were no differences between CA and CN gamers in loss of interest and conflicts with others. Conclusions The findings suggest that cultural orientation can influence the presentation of IGD. Specifically, those who are less collectivist or less influenced by social groups display greater IGD symptoms and present a profile that requires a different intervention from gamers who are more collectivistic. Researchers and clinicians should emphasize the value of belonging in a collective and experiencing equality with others in relation to mental health and gaming patterns.

“…Brief selfreport screening instruments for Internet gaming disorder based on DSM-5 criteria are internally valid: The Video Game Dependency Scale (VGDS; Rehbein, Kliem, Baier, Mößle, & Petry, 2015), the Internet Gaming Disorder20 Test (IGD20; Pontes, Király, Demetrovics, & Griffiths, 2014), and the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale (IGD; Lemmens, Valkenburg, & Gentile, 2015) all have some support for their concurrent validity. Two structured clinical interviews based on DSM-5 criteria for Internet gaming disorder, the Structured Clinical Interview for Internet Gaming Disorder (SCIIGD; Koo, Han, Park, & Kwon, 2017) and the Diagnostic Criteria of Internet Addiction for College Students (DCIAC; Ko et al, 2014), have adequate sensitivity and specificity for classification status.…”

Certain substance use disorders, such as nicotine, opioid, and alcohol use disorders, have efficacious pharmacotherapies (National Institute on Drug Abuse, 2014). Medications for these disorders largely target neurotransmitter systems affected by the substance of abuse. Behavioral addictions, in contrast, do not involve ingestion of any substance, and their neurophysiology remains elusive. To date, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved any medication to treat a behavioral addiction. However, initial experimental trials of medications for gambling disorder and other puta tive behavioral addictions have been conducted. In this chapter, we review research on pharmacother apy for gambling disorder, Internet gaming disorder, and Internet addiction. We also briefly discuss treat ments for other potential behavioral addictions (e.g., shopping, eating), although much less data exist on these conditions.Dr. Nancy Petry passed away on July 18, 2018. She contributed to all aspects of preparing this chapter for publication. We feel fortunate for all her contributions to the field of behavioral addictions and for her mentorship.
