Objective: To explore the correlation patterns between depression and internet gaming disorder symptoms of lower-grade primary school students during the COVID-19 lockdown period, and to provide a target of psychological intervention for depression symptoms associated with internet gaming disorder.
Methods: A total of 667 lower-grade primary school students from Baoding city were enrolled by cluster sampling in April 2022 and were assessed with Children's Depression Inventory and Internet Gaming Disorder Scale via the Wenjuanxing online survey tool. The descriptive statistical analysis and Mann-Whitney U test were conducted by SPSS. R software was used to build the network model, evaluate edges, and analyze bridge centrality.
Results: In the lower-grade primary school students, the average of the total CDI score is 6.7 (4.3) and the average of the total IGDS score is 13.6 (6.1). The total score of depression and internet gaming disorder of boys are significantly higher than that of girls. Different CDI factor scores are positively correlated with IGDS item scores, but different correlation patterns are illustrated. There is a good accuracy of network edge weights. The stability of the bridge expected influence is ideal (correlation stability coefficient = 0.517), and the factor of anhedonia has the highest bridge expected influence (bridge expected influence=0.240).
Conclusions: Anhedonia factor is more closely associated with the internet gaming disorder community. When considering the intervention of different factors of depression to reduce the occurrence of internet gaming disorder symptoms, the anhedonic factor may play a more extensive and effective role.
