Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Digital Game Addiction Scale-7 | baseline | The scale consists of a total of seven items and has a five-point Likert scale. The respondent is asked to choose one of the options never= 1, rarely= 2, sometimes= 3, often= 4, always= 5. The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 7 and the highest score is 35. Two methods, monothetic and polythetic, are used to determine the gaming addiction status. In the monothetic method, if the individual who answers the questionnaire gives a score of 3 (sometimes) or more to all items, and in the polythetic method, if he/she gives a score of 3 (sometimes) or more to at least four of all items, he/she is characterized as a game addict. |

The lowest score that can be obtained from the inventory is 10 and the highest score is 40.
