The criteria for identifying internet gaming disorder have been widely acknowledged and discussed. The Ten-Item Internet Gaming Disorder Test (IGDT-10) is frequently utilized in many countries, underscoring its high cross-cultural applicability. However, the Chinese version of IGDT-10 has lacked usage in China, sparking arguments about its applicability. In the current study, the reliability, validity, and diagnostic efficiency were assessed for the simplified Chinese IGDT-10. The cut-off point and diagnostic efficiency were determined through latent class analysis and receiver operating characteristic. The results demonstrated that the simplified Chinese IGDT-10 exhibited strong reliability, validity, and diagnostic efficiency, aligning with the DSM-5 recommendation of recognizing five or more criteria for internet gaming disorder. Moreover, this study revealed a 13.4% prevalence rate of internet gaming disorder in the samples, with a gender difference (higher prevalence among males than females) but no significant age difference. The results suggest that the simplified Chinese IGDT-10 is an effective tool for assessing internet gaming disorder.
