“…In terms of Cronbach α reliability that should be at least 0.86, 26 the instrument generated the values between 0.68 and 0.82 from the samples taken from Indonesia. 1 The reliability test of the study resulted in Cronbach α = 0.80. Meanwhile, the criteria of video game addiction among the students were identified based on the criteria developed by Brunborg et al 60 and Lin and Chen.…”

Video game addiction is one of the mental health problems due to the uncontrolled activities in accessing video game platforms. This study aimed to identify the tendencies of video game addiction among Senior High School students based on the aspects of Regulatory Focus Theory and interpersonal competence. It implemented a quantitative descriptive model with a 2×2 factorial design. A total of 1046 students participated in the survey. The findings revealed the increasing video game addiction cases among the students during the COVID-19 pandemic. The students with a high promotion focus and a high interpersonal competence as well as those with a low prevention focus and a low interpersonal competence tended to experience video game addiction.

“…King et al [17] conducted a systematic review aiming to identify and assess all the English language tools in Eastern and Western countries, and their evidencegathering information resulted in a total of 32 tools. The Game Addiction Scale-7 items (GAS-7) [5], the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-9 Short Form (IGDS9-SF) [8], the Internet Gaming Disorder Test-10 (IGDT-10) [18], and the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale (IGD-9) [19] were the ones presenting more psychometric evidence-based support [17].…”

“…The two versions were originally developed to assess GA in adolescents, conceptualizing the items according to the diagnostic criteria of the DSM-IV for pathological gambling, and both revealed adequate psychometric properties [5]. The GAS-21 was validated in several countries, such as Brazil [20], Turkey [18], and Indonesia [19]. The GAS-7 was also validated in multiple countries, such as France [6], Turkey [18], Switzerland [21], Iran [22], and China [23].…”

Introduction: Game addiction (GA) can be described as a compulsive and excessive usage of computers or video games that causes emotional and or social problems. The current study tested the factor structure and psychometric properties of the European Portuguese Game Addiction Scale (GAS-7-PT) short version. Methods: The sample encompassed 375 participants, 233 women (62.1%) and 142 men (37.9%), with a mean age of 21.71 (standard deviation = 5.82) years old. Participants completed a set of self-report measures online: the GAS-7-PT, the Scale of Involvement in Video Games and the Patient Health Questionnaire-4. Results: Confirmatory factor analyses confirmed a biological sex invariant single-factor structure with a very good fit to the data. The GAS-7-PT showed good reliability and test-retest reliability. Correlations with related and unrelated measures suggested convergent validity, and partial correlation results pointed to incremental validity. Men showed significantly higher scores than women. Conclusion: The GAS-7-PT is a self-report instrument with suitable psychometric properties for clinical and research contexts. The availability of a European Portuguese version confirms the GAS-7 robust consistency and allows further cross-cultural clinical research.
