世界卫生组织(WHO)最近将游戏障碍(GD)添加到国际疾病分类(ICD-11)的第十一次修订版中,因此,心理测量健全的心理措施需要评估这种疾病。这项研究的目的是通过评估其维度来调查西班牙游戏障碍测试(GDT)的心理测量特性,可靠性,收敛有效性,并通过跨性别的多重项目反应理论(IRT)和测量不变性(MI)分析与其他重要变量相关联。为了实现这一点,538名游戏玩家(42.94%为女性,meanage=23.29岁,SD=7.24)被招募。获得的结果支持西班牙GDT的单因素结构,具有足够的可靠性和收敛有效性。此外,在部分信用模型(PCM)中发现了令人满意的拟合优度,在高特征水平上具有更精确的分数来评估GD,并支持跨性别的严格不变性。这些发现证明了西班牙GDT适用于社区样本以外的无序游戏的临床评估和研究。

Gaming Disorder (GD) has been recently added to the eleventh revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) by the World Health Organization (WHO), as such, psychometrically sound psychological measures are required to assess this disorder. The objective of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Spanish Gaming Disorder Test (GDT) by assessing its dimensionality, reliability, convergent validity, and associations with other variables of importance through polytomous Item Response Theory (IRT) and Measurement Invariance (MI) analysis across genders. To achieve this, a sample of 538 gamers (42.94% female, meanage = 23.29 years, SD = 7.24) was recruited. The results obtained supported a one-factor structure for the Spanish GDT with adequate reliability and convergent validity. Furthermore, satisfactory goodness of fit in the partial credit model (PCM) with more precise scores at high trait levels to assess GD was found, and strict invariance across genders was supported. These findings attest to the suitability of the Spanish GDT for clinical assessment and research on disordered gaming beyond community samples.
