What does the scale measure?

It measures the degree of engagement with role-playing video games, including time involvement and mental preoccupation. It also indicates whether gaming is a balanced leisure activity or shows signs of problematic involvement.

It is designed for adolescents ages 13 to 15. Use outside this age range should be interpreted with caution.

How long does it take to complete and how many items are included?

Estimated completion time is about 12 minutes. The scale includes 64 items.

How should responses be given?

Answer each item based on typical behavior and feelings over recent weeks, not a single unusual day. Responses should be given without overthinking and without discussing items with others during completion.

How should results be used?

Role-Playing Computer Game Engagement Scale Test - Symptoms and Signs

cyberpsychology computer games

This self-report questionnaire is used to evaluate engagement with role-playing computer games in adolescents. The Role-Playing Computer Game Engagement Scale provides a structured way to characterize how salient and absorbing game involvement is in the respondent’s daily life.

It contains 64 items and typically takes about 12 minutes to complete. Items are intended to capture subjective preoccupation and the extent to which gaming occupies time, attention, and priorities, supporting clinical or school-based screening and discussion rather than serving as a stand-alone diagnostic measure.

The Role-Playing Computer Game Engagement Scale was authored by C. S. Green and D. A. Gentile. Results may be used to inform case conceptualization, guide psychoeducation with youth and caregivers, and monitor change over time when incorporated into a broader assessment.
