However, studies examining their differential associations with internet gaming disorder (IGD) and mediation mechanisms explaining these associations remain scarce.

In total, 12,912 invitations were sent out, of which 8522 eligible cases were included; the mean response rate was 71.0%. The 9-item DSM-5 IGD Checklist was used to screen for IGD cases; the 16-item Guilt and Shame Proneness Scale was used to assess guilt and shame proneness; the Cognitive Emotional Regulation Questionnaire was used to assess emotional dysregulation. Univariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to examine the associations between background factors and IGD. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was performed to test the mediation mechanism, with the adjustment of background factors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec sec-type=\"results\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Of all participants, the prevalence of IGD was 7.5%. Background factors of male sex (vs female, OR 2.78, 95% CI 2.36, 3.28) and self-reported poor household financial situation (vs good, odds ratio [OR] 1.96, 95% CI 1.51, 2.55) were significantly associated with a higher risk of IGD; the associations involving study city, year of study, study major, and origin (residency) of students were statistically nonsignificant. SEM showed that shame proneness in both cognitive (\n                      <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                      =.29, 95% CI 0.26, 0.33) and behavioral (\n                      <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                      =.20, 95% CI 0.18, 0.22) domains and emotional dysregulation of rumination, catastrophizing, and self-blame (\n                      <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                      =.36, 95% CI 0.32, 0.40) were positively associated with IGD, while guilt proneness in both cognitive (\n                      <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                      =\u2212.08, 95% CI \u22120.12 to \u22120.03) and behavioral domains (\n                      <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                      =\u22120.10, 95% CI \u22120.14 to \u22120.06) was negatively associated with IGD. Furthermore, emotional dysregulation partially mediated the association between guilt proneness and shame proneness in both domains and IGD (mediation effect size ranged from 22.0% to 45.8%).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec sec-type=\"conclusions\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study observed relatively high prevalence of IGD among medical undergraduate students in China.
