AB  - Objective: The purpose of the present study was to assess the psychometric properties of the Turkish version ofthe Metacognitions about Online Gaming Scale (MOGS-T).Method: Two studies were carried out with samples of video gamers (n1 = 196, n2 = 150) who filled a set ofquestionnaires including the demographic information form, MOGS-T, Gaming Addiction Scale, Internet AddictionTest, and Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS).Results: MOGS-T had good internal consistency and test-retest reliability. The factor structure of the MOGS-T wasexamined through exploratory factor analysis in the first study. A two-factor solution with positive metacognitionsabout online gaming and negative metacognitions about online gaming subscales showed the best fit to the data. Asecond study was performed to verify the factor structure of the scale and examine the predictive ability of MOGS-Tfactors. Hierarchical regression analyses demonstrated that positive metacognitions about online gamingsignificantly predicted weekly online gaming hours, negative metacognitions about online gaming significantlypredicted Internet addiction, and both metacognitions about online gaming significantly predicted gaming addiction.Conclusion: MOGS-T has reliable and valid psychometric properties for this population.
