AB  - OBJECTIVE: Gaming motivations are crucial aspects of healthy and problematic 
      video gaming behavior. The aim of this study was to assess the psychometric 
      properties of the widely used Motives for Online Gaming Questionnaire (MOGQ). 
      METHODS: Test-retest reliability was evaluated in a sample of 66 university 
      students. Data from 791 participants in an online survey of Iranian online gamers 
      were examined to assess convergent validity and construct validity using 
      confirmatory factor analysis. Internal consistency of MOGQ factors was assessed 
      in both samples. RESULTS: The item content validity index (I-CVI) and the scale 
      content validity index (S-CVI) were between 0.8 and 1.0 for clarity and 
      relevancy. The test-retest reliability of the 27-item questionnaire was 0.85 and 
      internal consistency was 0.94. After incorporating additional error paths, model 
      fit improved to an acceptable level. The MOGQ factors had acceptable correlations 
      with relevant motivational scales such as Gaming Motivation Scale and Player 
      Experience of Need Satisfaction. Recreation motives had the highest average score 
      in the sample and social ones had the lowest, and males scored higher than 
      females across all motivation domains except escape. CONCLUSION: The MOGQ is a 
      suitable instrument for the assessment of online gaming motivations in the 
      Iranian population.
