A Shorter Form of the Game User Experience Satisfaction Scale in Turkish: GUESS-20-TR

Abstract

Games User Research (GUR) has become an important subdomain of the Human Computer Interaction field within the last few years, as gaming has becomes a daily entertainment for many people rather than being in the interest of a few game enthusiasts. Researchers require specific tools to measure the users’ responses and attitudes towards the games. Game User Experience Satisfaction Scale is one of the recent additions to GUR tools, which had already been adapted into Turkish as GUESSTR. Through this study, we aimed to verify a shorter form of GUESS-TR which is compatible with a currently existing English shorter version with 18 items that measure game user experience through 9 factors. Data revealed that a 20-item version resembling 10 factors, namely GUESS-20-TR, is a valid and reliable measure of game user experience. We provided evidence for construct validity through confirmatory factor analysis. Spearman-Brown prophecy coefficients indicate that the 2-item subscales are reliable. Heterotrait - monotrait ratios show that items indicate different constructs, i.e. discriminant validity. Based on Pearson correlation, the mean scoresobtained with the short form GUESS-20-TR are highly consistent with the 51-item Turkish version.
