摘要：Studies of the gaming motives had primarily focused on online gamers. Although there are studies that applied the Online Gaming Motivation Scale in the offline settings, more psychometric evidence in the offline setting is needed to warrant for meaning comparison. The aim of the current study is to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Online Gaming Motivation Scale and to examine the predictive role of gaming motives to internet gaming disorder. A total of 614 adolescent gamers of online and offline games participated in the current study. The confirmatory factor analysis supports the three-factor structure of the Online Gaming Motivation Scale (namely social, immersion, and achievement motives). Pearson correlation, average variance extracted, composite reliability, and reliability analysis support the excellent psychometric properties of the Online Gaming Motivation Scale. Hierarchical multiple regression found gaming motives as significant predictors of internet gaming disorder among adolescent gamers of online and offline games.
