TI  - Motives and Consequences of Online Game Addiction: A Scale Development Study
AB  - Introduction: We aimed to develop the Online Game Addiction Scale(OGAS) and examine its properties.Methods: Three hundred and twenty-seven secondary school students(92% males and 8% females) participated in this study. A draft scale thatincluded 69 items was used for assessing its validity and reliability. Theexploratory factor analysis was used for assessing construct validity, andCronbach’s alpha coefficient, Spearman–Brown split-half reliability, andtest–retest reliability were used for assessing reliability.Results: After performing the exploratory analyses, a three-factorstructure comprising 21 items was obtained, which explained the 59%of variance. The factor loads of the items ranged from 0.606 to 0.876.Reliability analyses revealed that Cronbach’s alpha coefficients rangedfrom 0.83 to 0.91, coefficients of the Spearman–Brown split-halfreliability ranged from 0.88 to 0.94, and outcomes of the test–retestreliability ranged from 0.71 to 0.94.Conclusion: Our results revealed that OGAS is a valid and reliable toolthat has adequate psychometric properties.
