Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop and validate the Korean Version of the Game Addiction/Engagement Scale (K-GAES) for adults. The scale was based on the 29-item Asheron's Call-specific Addiction-Engagement Questionnaire (Charlton & Danforth, 2007). The K-GAES was administrated to 119 undergraduates and 31 people in game rooms. The internal consistency (Cronbach's α) was .89. Factor analysis explained 34.4% of variants extract 2 factors. Each factors labeled ‘addiction’, ‘engagement’. The criterion-related validity of the K-GAES was analyzed with the Korean Internet Addiction Scale and Internet Game Addiction Diagnostic Scale. These two scales showed a significant correlation with the K-GAES ‘addiction’ factor, but not with the ‘engagement’ factor. The ‘engagement’ factor might not be measured by these two scales. In conclusion, the K-GAES appears to be a highly reliable and valid measure of adult internet game addiction.
