Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 9Relationship Between Internet Gaming Disorder Symptoms With Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Alexithymia Symptoms Among University Students(Turkish Green Crescent Soc, 2020) Evren, Bilge; Dalbudak, Ercan; Topcu, Merve; Kutlu, Nilay; Elhai, Jon D.; Evren, Cuneyt; Topcu Bulut, Merve; Topcu-bulut, MerveThe aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between Internet gaming disorder (IGD) symptom severity with probable attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and alexithymia symptoms, while controlling anxiety and depression symptoms. The cross-sectional online study was conducted with 987 volunteer university students in Ankara, Turkey. Age was lower and first. Internet use was earlier among the group with probable ADHD (n=166, 16.8%) than that without (n=821, 83.2%). There were no significant differences in gender or romantic relationship status between these groups, whereas the scale scores, duration of daily Internet gaming, and problems related to Internet gaming were higher in the probable ADHD group. Probable AMID, continuous scores on alexithymia (particularly "difficulty identifying feelings" [DIF] and "externally oriented thinking" [EOT] dimensions), depression, and anxiety symptoms were associated with higher severity of IGD symptoms. ADHD, alexithymia (as a binary variable), depression, and anxiety predicted the severity of IGD symptoms, although these effects involving probable ADHD and alexithymia did not interact. These findings suggest that probable AMID and both the severity of alexithymia (particularly DIF and EOT dimensions) and presence of probable alexithymia are related with the severity of IGD symptoms, even when controlling the effects of depression and anxiety, among university students.Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 16Psychometric Validation of the Turkish Motives for Online Gaming Questionnaire (Mogq) Across University Students and Video Game Players(Turkish Green Crescent Soc, 2020) Evren, Cuneyt; Evren, Bilge; Dalbudak, Ercan; Topcu, Merve; Kutlu, Nilay; Topcu-bulut, MerveThe main aim of the current study was to test the factor structure, reliability, and validity of the 27-Item Motives for Online Gaming Questionnaire (MOGQ), a standardized measure to assess seven types of motivation for online gaming. In the present study, participants were assessed with the MOGQ, the nine-item Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form (IGDS9-SF), and the Electronic Gaming Motives Questionnaire (EGMQ). The mean age and age at first gaming were lower and the socio-demographic factors such as male gender, living alone, having a game console, gaming more than usual in weekends, time spent on the gaming, having problems related with gaming, severity of IGD symptoms, and severity of online gaming motives were higher among the group of gamers than those in the group of students. Confirmatory factor analyses demonstrated that the six-factor structure (i.e., the dimensional structure) of the MOGQ was satisfactory for the Turkish version. The scale was also reliable (i.e., internally consistent with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.91 for coping/escape, 0.92 for recreation, 0.88 for fantasy, 0.91 for skill development, 0.87 for social, and 0.89 for competition) and showed adequate convergent and criterion-related validity, as indicated by statistically significant positive correlations with average time daily spent playing games during last year, IGDS9-SF, and EGMQ scores. These findings support the Turkish version of the MOGQ as a valid and reliable tool for determining the motives for online gaming among young adults.Article Citation - WoS: 12Internet Gaming Disorder and Treatment Approaches: a Systematic Review(Turkish Green Crescent Soc, 2018) Nazligul, Merve Denizci; Bas, Samet; Akyuz, Zeynep; Yorulmaz, OrcunThe purpose of this systematic review is to investigate the phenomenology of the psychiatric diagnosis of Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD), which has a serious potential, through the physical and psychosocial impacts of recent candidates for its diagnosis, followed by current treatment approaches for this problem. Using specific terms, a comprehensive database search of PsychINFO, ScienceDirect, Wiley Online Library, Web of Science, and PubMed was conducted to access particular studies that examine treatment interventions for IGD. All searches have been limited to full text papers published between 2000 and 2017. Six eligible treatment studies fulfilling the criteria of preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) as an international guideline were included in the literature review. The evaluation criteria of the IGD were observed to differ among studies and the current samples to consist predominantly of males in adolescence to young adulthood. The findings on interventions indicate that different treatment modalities show successful results in reducing IGD symptoms and the time spent playing games, as well as on addictive individuals' progress regarding verbal expression. The general impressions of this systematic review are that although technology seems to facilitate life, Internet use and gaming habits at the same time can easily turn into a serious psychiatric problem. On the other hand, relatively little is known about IGD with a rather limited number of studies describing, assessing, and treating this problem. However, increasing information about this disorder is crucial for developing specific interventions. Thus, conducting additional research in Turkey as well as the world is essential for understanding IGD's nature and how to treat it.
