“…GA was assessed with 20 items from the Korean Game Addiction scale developed by Choi, Ryong, and Kim (2013) . The 20 items measure tolerance, withdrawal, compulsive use of games, impairment of self-control, impairment of daily activities, excessive time consumption for gaming, and continued gaming despite problems over the past one year.…”

“…Items were rated on a 0 (“not at all true”) to 3 (“almost always true”) scale and summed to create a total score, which ranged from 0 to 60 with higher scores indicating greater symptom severity. The scale showed good psychometric properties ( Choi et al., 2013 ). In the present sample, the Cronbach alpha reliability of 20 items was 0.96.…”

Background and aimsThe association between perceived stress (PS) and gaming addiction (GA) is well documented. However, the mechanism for explaining this association remains unclear. Using a genetically informative design, this study aims to distinguish between the diathesis-stress and bio-ecological models of gene by environment interaction (G x E) to explain the underlying mechanism of the relationship.MethodsIn total, 1,468 twins (mean age = 22.6 ± 2.8 years) completed an online survey including the GA and PS scales. Twin correlations for GA and PS were computed and univariate model-fitting analysis was conducted to determine genetic and environmental influences on GA and PS. The bivariate G x E model-fitting analysis was performed to determine the best G x E interaction model.ResultsAdditive genetic, shared environmental, and non-shared environmental effects were 0.70 (95%CI = 0.61, 0.77), 0.00, and 0.30 (95%CI = 0.26, 0.33), and 0.38 (95%CI = 0.24, 0.55), 0.35 (95% CI = 0.18, 0.51), and 0.22 (95%CI = 0.20, 0.26) for GA and PS, respectively. Bivariate G x E model-fitting analysis supported the diathesis-stress model, where genetic influences on GA were greater in higher levels of PS, whereas environmental influences on GA were small and constant across levels of PS.Discussion and conclusionsThe evidence for the diathesis-stress model for GA is consistent with the etiological process of many forms of psychopathology. The findings should be incorporated in clinical settings to improve the treatment of GA, and used in developments of intervention and prevention methods for GA.

Purpose: To examine the differences and correlations among pain, depressive symptoms, and constipation in smokers and non smokers. Design and Methods: The present study was a cross-sectional study that used descriptive correlations. This study was a secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial. Findings: Smokers had more pain, depressive symptoms, and constipation than non smokers. Smokers had similar serotonin levels compared with non smokers. Positive correlations were observed between constipation and serum serotonin levels
