Abstract

<p style="text-align: justify;">Gaming-related health problems have been researched since the 1980s with numerous different “ontologies” as reference systems, from self-assessed “game addiction” to “pathological gambling” (in the DSM-IV), “internet gaming disorder” (in the 3rd section of the DSM-5) and most recently “gaming disorder” (in the ICD-11). Their differences have not been studied explicitly, however. In this registered report, we ask: how do screening instruments that derive from different ontologies differ in identifying associated problem groups? By using four central screening instruments, each of which represent a different ontological basis, we provide a nationally representative (N=8000) comparative “gaming disorder” prevalence (in Finland) and test three hypotheses concerning the possible multiplicity of the construct, which is currentlydiscussed as a single “gaming disorder” in medical and scholarly domains.</p>
