The document describes the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale - Short Form (IGDS-SF9), a 9-item self-report scale used to assess Internet Gaming Disorder.

Internet Gaming Disorder Scale - Short Form (IGDS-SF9).

The IGDS-SF9 is a nine-


item instrument assessing IGD, and was developed based on the IGD concept
proposed in the DSM-5 [8]. The IGDS-SF9 is a self-report scale with a five-point
Likert-type scale ranging from Never (score 1) to Very often (score 5). Higher scores
on the IGDS-SF9 relate to a higher degree of problematic gaming use. A sample item
of IGDS-SF9 is “Do you systematically fail when trying to control or cease tour
gaming activity?” The IGDS-SF9 has a confirmed unidimensional structure and
promising psychometric properties in several studies and different languages,
including English [13-14], Portuguese [15], Italian [16], Persian [17], Polish [18],
Albanian [19], and Turkish [20-21]. For example, the Cronbach’s α for the IGDS-SF9
was 0.9 and test-retest reliability ranged from 0.79 to 0.91 in the study from Wu et al.
[17].
