Abstract
This study aimed to develop a semi-structured interview scale to measure internet/game/smartphone addiction. Inspired by the 9-item DSM-5 internet gaming disorder diagnostic criteria, we developed 10-item Diagnostic interview for Internet Addiction (DIA) (ie, cognitive salience, withdrawal, tolerance, difficulty in regulation, decrease in other activities, persistent use despite negative consequences, lying about internet/game/social network software (SNS) use, use of internet/game/SNS for mood modification, significantly impaired role function, and craving).
