Gamers’ insights into the phenomenology of normal gaming and game “addiction”: A mixed methods study
作者：
Highlights：
• Cultural knowledge is important for defining mental disorders in context.
• We asked groups of engaged gamers to submit and rank criteria of game “addiction”.
• We compared these criteria to proposed domains for Internet gaming disorder (IGD).
• Gamers agreed with some criteria and proposed novel criteria from other domains.
• Participatory approaches may help refine IGD criteria and improve content validity.
