“…The present item analysis of the PVP Scale contributes to the evidence-base that suggests increasing the cut-off point should be increased to a minimum of 5 out of 9 (Adiele & Olatkun, 2014;Collins et al, 2012;Hart et al, 2009;Lemmens et al, 2009;Turner et al, 2012). In fact, based on the evidence presented here, it could perhaps be argued that the cut-off point be increased at 6 out of 9 criteria to categorize players as having a potential pathological problem.…”

“…The psychometric properties of the Spanish and English versions, from the 20 20 validity analyses, showed its unifactoriality (such as Hart et al, 2009;Turner et al, 2012) through two analysis techniques which achieved very similar results, with an adequate variance explained for a short explorative test (Reckase, 1979), and construct validity through associations with VGP patterns of usage related with time, as well as perception of the own VGP problematic and the significant others perception of the adolescent VGA (King et al, 2013b;Salguero & Morán, 2002 Topor et al, 2011: α=.83). …”

“…The researchers' first intention was to look for adolescent problems associated with the addictive use of all types of video games (offline and online) and video game systems (consoles and computers). Since its development in 2000, it has been used in a few studies (e.g., Collins, Freeman, & Chamarro-Premuzic, 2012;Hart, Johnson, Stamm, Angers, Robinson, Lally, & Fagley, 2009;Kuss, Louws, & Wiers, 2012;Parker, Taylor, Eastabrook, Schell, & Wood, 2008), very few have paid attention to the symptomatology measured.…”

Research into problematic video gaming has increased greatly over the last decade and many screening instruments have been developed to identify such behaviour. This study re-examined the Problematic Videogame Playing [PVP] Scale. The objectives of the study were to (i) examine its psychometric properties in two European countries, (ii) estimate the prevalence of potential pathological gaming among adolescents in both countries, and (iii) assess the classification accuracy of the PVP Scale based on its symptomatology as a way of exploring its relationship with both the behavioural component model of addiction and the proposed Internet Gaming Disorder. The data were collected via a survey administered to 2,356 adolescents aged between 11 and 18 years from Spain (n=1,132) and Great Britain (n=1,224). Results indicated that the reliability of both versions was adequate, and the factorial and construct validity were good. Findings also showed that the prevalence of pathological gamers estimated with a rigorous cut-off point was 7.7% for Spanish and 14.6% for British adolescents. The scale showed adequate sensitivity, specificity and classification accuracy in both countries, and was able to differentiate between social and potential pathological 2 2 gamers, and from their addictive symptomatology. The implications of these findings are discussed.

“…Only the PVP Scale (Salguero & Moran, 2002) demonstrated a factor structure that had been confirmed in a follow-up study (Hart et al, 2009) in the absence of contrasting findings. Among those instruments with more than two published studies, the CUIS was the only test of which dimensionality had not been assessed.…”

Pathological video-gaming, or its proposed DSM-V classification of "Internet Use Disorder", is of increasing interest to scholars and practitioners in allied health disciplines. This systematic review was designed to evaluate the standards in pathological video-gaming instrumentation, according to Cicchetti (1994) and Groth- inadequate data on predictive validity and inter-rater reliability. An emerging consensus suggests that pathological video-gaming is commonly defined by (1) withdrawal, (2) loss of control, and (3) conflict. It is concluded that a unified approach to assessment of pathological video-gaming is needed. A synthesis of extant research efforts by meta-analysis may be difficult in the context of several divergent approaches to assessment.

“…Los videojuegos suponen una vía de escape, ante situaciones estresantes o que producen ansiedad o agotamiento, como consecuencia de una vida ajetreada. Por ello, resulta insólito que la dependencia que, esta nueva forma de ocio, produce en los adolescentes españoles resulte similar a la generada en los de los Estados Unidos, aunque éstos últimos se encuentren mucho más influenciados por las nuevas tecnologías (Hart et al, 2009).…”

Entre las actividades de ocio de los/as jóvenes, cabe mencionar las asociadas con los videojuegos. Por ello, la finalidad central de este estudio es analizar las preferencias del colectivo de adolescentes con los videojuegos, así como conocer su dedicación y problemáticas que generan, teniendo en cuenta principalmente la variable de género. El presente trabajo se encuadra en un enfoque metodológico cuantitativo-cualitativo, a partir de la recogida de datos con un cuestionario y la técnica del grupo de discusión. En el estudio han participado un total de 151 adolescentes. 124 a partir de la aplicación de un cuestionario cerrado (62 hombres y 62 mujeres) y 27 a través de la realización de 6 grupos de discusión (17 hombres y 10 mujeres). Como resultados y conclusiones, cabe destacar la existencia diferenciada en el uso de los videojuegos en función de la edad y por razón de género. A su vez, las mujeres muestran una responsabilidad mayor en esta actividad, tanto en el tiempo de dedicación como en la elección. Los chicos destinan una gran cantidad de tiempo a los videojuegos de contenido violento, mientras las chicas prefieren los de estrategia. En general, el juego con videojuegos no genera problemáticas sustanciales y controversias, aunque algunos participantes reflejan manifestaciones de mal humor. Por último, cabe indicar que las prácticas con los videojuegos en la adolescencia se ciñen al mero hecho de divertirse, desperdiciando las posibilidades educativas que esta actividad ofrece.
