Description
Fereshteh Rajaeiramsheh and co-authors test in this 2026 paper a Persian version of a scale that measures problem gaming thoughts in teens. Habits of mind, such as overrating game rewards, are thought to keep gaming problems alive. The scale existed in other languages but had no checked Persian form. The team translated it with forward and back steps, then surveyed 1,191 Iranian adolescents online.
The four-part structure of the scale held up well, and total reliability was excellent. Scores rose with gaming addiction and fell with self-esteem, as theory predicts. Since the four parts overlap heavily, the authors advise using the total score as the main readout and treating part scores with care.
