addiction
cyberpsychology
computer addiction

This brief screening tool is designed to support rapid identification of adolescents who may be experiencing problematic gaming. The Gaming Addiction Scale for Adolescents (GASA) uses a short self-report format to gauge the presence of core addiction-like features related to gaming behavior.

It consists of 7 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete. Item content generally reflects common clinical indicators such as preoccupation, diminished control, and functional impairment (e.g., academic or interpersonal difficulties). Results are intended for preliminary risk stratification and should be interpreted in context and followed by a more comprehensive clinical assessment when indicated.

The Gaming Addiction Scale for Adolescents (GASA) is commonly used in school, clinical, and research settings when a time-efficient measure is needed to flag elevated risk and inform next-step evaluation.
