Abstract:
Objective:To verify the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Gaming Disorder Scale for Adolescents (GADIS-A) among middle school students aged 12-17 years old.Methods:A total of 1 370 middle school students were assessed with the Chinese version of the GADIS-A, the Chinese version of the Young′s Internet Addiction Self-rating Questionnaire, and the self-compiled basic information questionnaire. Ten percent of the subjects were retested after two weeks. The reliability of the scale was tested by homogeneous reliability, split-half reliability and test-retest reliability. The validity of the scale was examined by exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. The standard validity of the Chinese version of Young′s self-assessment questionnaire on Internet addiction and the Chinese version of the Adolescent Play Disorder Scale was tested by Pearson correlation analysis.Results:Item analysis showed that there were significant mean differences among each item ( P<0.001). The Cronbach′s Alpha coefficient of the Chinese version of the GADIS-A total scale was 0.870, and the Cronbach′s Alpha coefficient of factor 1 and factor 2 were both 0.823. The test-retest reliability of the total scale was 0.894, the test-retest reliability of factor 1 was 0.813, and the test-retest reliability of factor 2 was 0.768. The total scores of the Chinese version of the Yang′s Internet Addiction Self-Assessment Questionnaire and the subscale scores of getting along with parents, family atmosphere, and academic performance were significantly correlated with the total score, factor 1 score, and factor 2 score of the GADIS-A. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a two-factor structure in the GADIS-A. The eigenvalue of factor 1 was 4.371, the eigenvalue of factor 2 was 1.035, and the cumulative variance was 0.638. The factor loading of items loaded noto factor 1 were between 0.633 and 0.821, the factor loading of items loaded noto factor 2 ranged from 0.570 to 0.866, and the loading of each item was above 0.500. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the fit indexes of the Chinese version of GADIS-A were as follows: χ 2/ df=4.537, GFI=0.963, TLI=0.941, CFI=0.957, and RMSEA=0.072. Conclusion:The Chinese version of the GADIS-A has good reliability and validity and could be used as an assessment tool for Chinese adolescents aged 12-17 years old in detecting gaming disorders.
