Mokken scale analysis of the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short-Form and the Gaming Disorder Test.

In recent years, research on disordered gaming has grown substantially with researchers developing different psychometric tools for assessing it. Two of the most prominent assessment tools are the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short-Form (IGDS9-SF) and the Gaming Disorder Test (GDT), which evaluate disordered gaming under the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and the World Health Organization (WHO) frameworks, respectively. The main aim of this study was to assess and compare the scalability, reliability, and validity of both scales to determine if they effectively assess disordered gaming in a normative sample, through the Mokken Scale Analysis (MSA).

Validation of the Comprehensive and Brief International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health Core Sets for Schizophrenia from the Perspective of Individuals Diagnosed with the Disorder: A Worldwide Study Using Focus Groups.

Testing the latent structure, factorial equivalence, and external correlates of the brief self-control scale in a community sample of Spanish adults.

The Brief Self-Control Scale (BSCS) is a 13-item personality measure capturing how people differ in their capacity to exert self-control. Although the BSCS was originally regarded as a one-dimensional scale, subsequent psychometric studies have provided support for the empirical distinction of two and four interrelated but distinct components of self-control. Using a large sample of Spanish adults (n = 1,558; 914 female, 58.

Spanish validation of the pure procrastination scale: dimensional structure, internal consistency, temporal stability, gender invariance, and relationships with personality and satisfaction with life.

Effectiveness of a recovery workshop implemented in community mental health services in Catalonia (Spain): study protocol for a non-randomized controlled trial.

Background: Many countries today are undergoing a paradigm shift in mental health policies towards a recovery-oriented and rights-based approach. From this perspective, self-determination and self-management are fundamental factors for recovery. Despite this shift, there is still a lack of evidence on the effectiveness of training programmes aimed at promoting self-determination and self-management in recovery processes implemented in southern European or Spanish-speaking countries.

Proposing Necessary but Not Sufficient Conditions Analysis as a Complement of Traditional Effect Size Measures with an Illustrative Example.

Even though classic effect size measures (e.g., Pearson's r, Cohen's d) are widely applied in social sciences, the threshold used to interpret them is somewhat arbitrary.

Disordered gaming in esports: Comparing professional and non-professional gamers.

Introduction: The American Psychiatric Association (APA) proposed 'Internet Gaming Disorder' (IGD) as a tentative disorder (APA framework) in 2013 and in 2019 the World Health Organization (WHO) has fully recognized 'Gaming Disorder' (GD) as a mental health disorder (WHO framework). These two frameworks have not yet been jointly investigated in the context of esports. The present study aims to investigate the feasibility of the APA and WHO frameworks for disordered gaming among professional and non-professional gamers and to ascertain the suitability of existing psychometric tools for use in esports.
