Internet Gaming Disorder Behaviors in Emergent Adulthood: a Pilot Study Examining the Interplay Between Anxiety and Family Cohesion
03 de Maio de 2018
Abstract Understanding risk and protective factors associated with Internet Gaming Disorder
(IGD) has been highlighted as a research priority by the American Psychiatric Association,
(2013). The present study focused on the potential IGD risk effect of anxiety and the buffering
role of family cohesion on this association. A sample of emerging adults all of whom were
massively multiplayer online (MMO) gamers (18–29 years) residing in Australia were
assessed longitudinally (face-to-face: N = 61, Mage = 23.02 years, SD = 3.43) and crosssectionally
(online: N = 64, Mage = 23.34 years, SD = 3.39). IGD symptoms were assessed
using the nine-item Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form (IGDS-SF9; Pontes &
Griffiths Computers in Human Behavior, 45, 137–143. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.
chb.2014.12.006, 2015). The Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI; Beck and Steer, 1990) and the
balanced family cohesion scale (BFC; Olson Journal of Marital & Family Therapy, 3(1) 64–
80. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1752-0606.2009.00175.x, 2011) were applied to assess anxiety
and BFC levels, respectively. Linear regressions and moderation analyses confirmed that
anxiety increased IGD risk and that BFC weakened the anxiety-related IGD risk.
