In recent years, increased interest in Internet Gaming Disorder has led to the development of the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form. Translation and subsequent validation of such a scale are important for cross-cultural use. The aim of the present study was to examine the psychometric properties (factor structure, reliability, and validity) of the Malay Version of the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form using a sample of Malaysian undergraduates. The present sample included 137 Malaysian undergraduates. Participants completed a self-administered online survey containing demographic items, the Malay Version of the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form, the Problematic Online Gaming Questionnaire-Short Form, and the Malay Version of the Internet Addiction Test. The present findings confirm the one-factor model of the Malay Version of the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form. Good reliability, as measured by Cronbach alpha, was found for the Malay Version of the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form. The Malay Version of the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form has demonstrated concurrent validity by significantly correlating with the Problematic Online Gaming Questionnaire-Short Form as well as demonstrated convergent validity with respect to the Malay Version of the Internet Addiction Test. The Malay Version of the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form is a reliable and valid tool for assessing Internet Gaming Disorder in Malaysian undergraduates. As more research is still needed to confirm the status of Internet Gaming Disorder as a formal disorder, it is hoped that the Malay Version of the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form can facilitate future research examining antecedents and consequences of Internet Gaming Disorder in a Malaysian setting.
近年来，对互联网游戏障碍的兴趣增加促使了互联网游戏障碍量表简版的开发。对这样一个量表进行翻译并随后进行验证对于跨文化使用很重要。本研究的目的是使用马来西亚大学生样本检验互联网游戏障碍量表简版马来语版本的心理测量特性（因子结构、信度和效度）。本样本包括137名马来西亚大学生。参与者完成了一项自我管理的在线调查，其中包含人口统计学项目、互联网游戏障碍量表简版马来语版本、问题性网络游戏问卷简版以及互联网成瘾测试马来语版本。本研究结果证实了互联网游戏障碍量表简版马来语版本的单因素模型。通过克朗巴哈系数测量发现，互联网游戏障碍量表简版马来语版本具有良好的信度。互联网游戏障碍量表简版马来语版本通过与问题性网络游戏问卷简版显著相关证明了同时效度，并且相对于互联网成瘾测试马来语版本证明了收敛效度。互联网游戏障碍量表简版马来语版本是评估马来西亚大学生互联网游戏障碍的可靠且有效的工具。由于仍需要更多研究来确认互联网游戏障碍作为一种正式障碍的地位，希望互联网游戏障碍量表简版马来语版本能够促进未来在马来西亚背景下研究互联网游戏障碍的前因和后果。
