BACKGROUND AND AIMS
Internet gaming disorder (IGD) has become a topic of increasing research interest since its inclusion in Section 3 of the DSM-5. Given the lack of clinical studies concerning IGD, exploring the characteristics of clinical samples with IGD will help to delineate the gaming disorder construct and inform future treatment studies.
METHODS
Data collection consisted of clinical interviews comprising 31 male adolescents diagnosed with IGD. Alongside the clinical interviews, the participants were administered a battery of psychometric tests assessing the following: IGD, personality traits, comorbid symptomatology, emotional intelligence (EI), and family environment characteristics.
RESULTS
The results showed that the adolescents with IGD and their relatives reported a high number of hours per week and high presence of stressful life events in the majority of the sample. High scores on scales assessing depression, anxiety, and somatic disorders were found. However, the findings indicate the presence of several other comorbid disorders meaning that some of the adolescent sample with IGD had different clinical profiles. Several personality traits were found to be highly associated with IGD including introversion, inhibition, submissiveness, self-devaluation, interpersonal sensibility, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, phobic anxiety, and hostility, as well as paranoid and borderline personality traits. Other negative characteristics found in the present sample included a high level of social problems, low EI, and dysfunctional family relationships.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS
The findings suggest a more global pattern of key psychological characteristics associated with Internet gaming disorder in adolescence. This may help in understanding the complexity of this proposed disorder and it may also help in designing more specialized interventions for adolescents with IGD. The findings have important implications for clinical practice and interventions.
背景与目的
自互联网游戏障碍（IGD）被纳入 DSM-5 第 3 节以来，它已成为越来越多研究关注的话题。鉴于缺乏关于 IGD 的临床研究，探索患有 IGD 的临床样本的特征将有助于描绘游戏障碍结构，并为未来的治疗研究提供信息。
方法
数据收集包括对 31 名被诊断患有 IGD 的男性青少年进行的临床访谈。除了临床访谈，参与者还接受了一系列心理测试，评估以下内容：IGD、人格特质、共病症状、情绪智力（EI）和家庭环境特征。
结果
结果表明，IGD 青少年及其亲属报告了大多数样本中每周数小时和高压力生活事件的高发生率。发现评估抑郁、焦虑和躯体障碍的量表得分较高。然而，研究结果表明存在其他几种共病障碍，这意味着一些患有 IGD 的青少年样本具有不同的临床特征。发现一些人格特质与 IGD 高度相关，包括内向、抑制、顺从、自我贬低、人际敏感、强迫性冲动、恐惧症焦虑和敌意，以及偏执和边缘型人格特质。本研究样本中还发现了其他一些负面特征，包括高水平的社交问题、低 EI 和功能失调的家庭关系。
讨论与结论
研究结果表明，青少年互联网游戏障碍与一系列关键心理特征存在更广泛的关联模式。这可能有助于理解这种拟议障碍的复杂性，也可能有助于为患有 IGD 的青少年设计更专业的干预措施。研究结果对临床实践和干预具有重要意义。
