TI  - Psychometric validation of the Turkish Ten-Item Internet Gaming Disorder Test (IGDT-10)
AB  - Objective: The main aims of the current study were to test the factor structure, reliability and validity of the Ten-Item Internet Gaming Disorder Test (IGDT-10), a standardized measure to assess symptoms and prevalence of internet gaming disorder (IGD).Method: In the present study, participants were assessed with the IGDT-10, the nine-item IGD Scale – Short Form (IGDS9-SF), and the Motives for Online Gaming Questionnaire (MOGQ).Results: Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the IGDT-10’s one-factor structure (i.e., dimensional structure) was satisfactory. The scale was also reliable (i.e., internally consistent with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.79) and showed adequate convergent and criterion-related validity as shown by positive correlations between average daily time spent playing games over the past year and IGDS9-SF and MOGQ scores. By applying the DSM-5 threshold to diagnose IGD (meeting at least five criteria), the incidence of individuals with IGD was found to be 7.4% (n=56) in the entire sample.Conclusion: These results demonstrate the Turkish version of the IGDT-10 to be a valid and reliable instrument for determining the magnitude of problems associated with IGD among young adults and for early diagnosis of IGD in clinical environments and comparable studies.
