了解与互联网游戏障碍（IGD）相关的风险和保护因素已被美国精神病学协会（2013）列为研究重点。本研究主要探讨焦虑对IGD的潜在影响以及家庭亲密度对IGD的缓冲作用。对居住在澳大利亚的新兴成年人样本进行了纵向（面对面：N = 61，M-年龄= 23.02岁，SD = 3.43）和横断面（在线：N = 64，M-年龄= 23.34岁，SD = 3.39）评估。使用九项互联网游戏障碍量表简表（IGDS-SF 9; Pontes & Griffiths Computers in Human Behavior，45，137-143. 10.1016/j.chb.2014.12.006，2015）。Beck焦虑量表（BAI; Beck and Steer，1990）和平衡家庭凝聚力量表（BFC; Olson Journal of Marital & Family Therapy，3（1）64-80. 10.1111/j.1752-0606.2009.00175.x，2011）分别用于评估焦虑和BFC水平。线性回归和适度分析证实，焦虑增加IGD的风险和BFC削弱焦虑相关的IGD的风险。
Understanding risk and protective factors associated with Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) has been highlighted as a research priority by the American Psychiatric Association, (2013). The present study focused on the potential IGD risk effect of anxiety and the buffering role of family cohesion on this association. A sample of emerging adults all of whom were massively multiplayer online (MMO) gamers (18-29 years) residing in Australia were assessed longitudinally (face-to-face: N = 61, M-age = 23.02 years, SD = 3.43) and cross-sectionally (online: N = 64, M-age = 23.34 years, SD = 3.39). IGD symptoms were assessed using the nine-item Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form (IGDS-SF9; Pontes & Griffiths Computers in Human Behavior, 45, 137-143. 10.1016/j.chb.2014.12.006, 2015). The Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI; Beck and Steer, 1990) and the balanced family cohesion scale (BFC; Olson Journal of Marital & Family Therapy, 3(1) 64-80. 10.1111/j.1752-0606.2009.00175.x, 2011) were applied to assess anxiety and BFC levels, respectively. Linear regressions and moderation analyses confirmed that anxiety increased IGD risk and that BFC weakened the anxiety-related IGD risk.
