The aim of this study is to examine the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Doomscrolling Scale. The study consists of 298 adults, 88 (29.5%) male and 210 (70.5%) female, reached via Google forms. The Self-Control Scale was used for criterion validity, in the present study and a moderately significant correlation was found between the two scales. Expert opinion was taken for content validity. As a result of the confirmatory factor analysis performed for the construct validity of the scale, it was determined that the 15-item single-factor structure showed good fit. The factor loadings of the items in the scale were the lowest .49 and the highest .85, and the lowest item-total correlations of the scale were .51 and the highest .77. The difference between the lower and upper 27% groups was statistically significant. For the reliability analysis, the Cronbach Alpha coefficient was .92. In the split-half method, which was performed as an additional contribution to the reliability analysis, the correlation between the equivalent halves was calculated as .82. Finally, it has been well understood that this scale is a competent measurement tool to identify the levels of doomscrolling in adults. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present study aims to adapt Game Addiction Inventory developed by Wong and Hodgins (2013) to Turkish culture and conduct its validity and reliability studies. The analyzes are conducted on a data set of 509 people. For validity studies of the inventory, first order and second order confirmatory factor analyzes are conducted and its correlation values with a similar inventory are examined in terms of convergent validity. The first order confirmatory factor analysis has found fit indices as χ²/sd = 3.01; RMSEA=0.063; CFI=0.97; NFI=0.95; IFI=0.97; RFI=0.95; GFI=0.86; AGFI=0.84; SRMR=0.055; and second order confirmatory factor analysis results in χ²=1466.23; sd=428; χ²/sd=3.43; RMSEA=0.069; CFI=0.96; IFI=0.96; RFI=0.94; NFI=0.95; SRMR=0.060. The correlation between data obtained from Digital Game Addiction Inventory-Short Form are examined for fit indices. The correlation values are obtained between .44 and .67 for sub-scales and as .75 for the whole inventory. Within the scope of reliability studies of the inventory, Cronbach alpha values are calculated between .65 and .86 for sub-scales and as .92 for the whole inventory. In addition, the composite reliability values of the scale were calculated and these values were between .66 and .87 for the subscales; it was found to be .94 for the overall scale. In order to determine the discriminative levels of items in the inventory and their predictive powers of total score within reliability studies, corrected item-total correlation (rjx) is calculated and compared with 27% of upper-lower groups and independent samples t test, which have determined that t values of 27% of lower (n=137) and upper (n=137) groups regarding the differences in item scores range between 6.90 and 21.25 (sd=272; p<.001), and the values regarding corrected item-total test correlation range between .20 and .70. In addition, the reliability of the inventory is examined through split-half reliability formula. Spearman-Brown prediction formula have found rtt = .88. In conclusion, data obtained from validity and reliability studies can be evaluated to point the sufficiency of the inventory to determine game addiction levels of adults. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
