Abstract:
Objective To develop the adolescent online game experience scale(AOGES) and tests its reliability and validity,so as to explore the component construct of the adolescents' online game experience.Methods Interviews and open questionnaire investigation as well as the existing scales were used to form the earlier version of the measurement,and the formation of test version were based on the expert group discussion,A total of 785 middle school students completed the AOGES,factor analysis method were used to form the final questionnaire.60 students participated in the retest 3 weeks later.The Online Game Addiction Scale and APIUS were used as criterions.Results The exploratory factor analysis indicated that the AOGES was composed of 40 items and six-factors; The range of factor loading was between 0.40-0.89,and explained 60.42％ of the total variance.The cortfirmatory factor analyses indicated that the six-factor model had good fitting indices (x2/df =2.83,GFI =0.93,TLI =0.92,IFI =0.95,CFI=0.95,RMSEA=0.069).The scores of the AOGES were positively correlated with the scores of the Online Game Addiction Scale and APIUS (r=0.12-0.60,P＜0.05).The Cronbach oα of the AOGES was 0.96 and six subscales were between 0.76-0.95.The test-retest reliabilities of the AOGES was 0.81 and six subscales were between 0.51-0.86.Conclusion It suggests that the Adolescent Online Game Experience Scale may be a sixdimension model which has good reliability and validity.The questionnaire may be suitable for measuring the adolescents' online game experience in China.
