CFA supported a one-factor construction for GDT and a two-factor construction for GADIS-YA. Measurement invariance was confirmed throughout gender and gaming time, with important correlations noticed with IGDS9-SF and DASS-21. These findings point out that GDT and GADIS-YA have passable psychometric properties amongst younger Indian adults.
