Abstract

The number of people using the internet has skyrocketed during the past two decades, making screen addiction a threat greater than substance addiction. Clinical instances of screen addiction symptoms have emerged in the midst of the rising social media popularity. The existing scales for assessing screen addiction are dated and are lengthy, hence our primary objective was to develop a novel brief self-diagnostic scale that can detect internet addiction disorder. Our secondary objective is to conduct psychometric evaluations of this scale. The scale was administered to a total of 1057 participants (493 males, 564 females) with ages ranging from 14-24 years of age. Face and content validity, reliability, and internal consistency were assessed. Participants did not report any difficulty in understanding the questions. The final version of the scale comprises 10 items. A content validity index of 1, a Pearson correlation value of 0.98, and a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.923 were obtained. Findings suggest the SAIAS-10 is a reliable and valid tool for screening screen addiction and may aid in the clinical evaluation of symptomology and research.
自我管理网络成瘾量表(SAIAS-10)的编制与验证
在过去的二十年里,使用互联网的人数激增,这使得屏幕成瘾比物质成瘾更严重。随着社交媒体的日益普及,屏幕成瘾症状的临床实例已经出现。现有的评估屏幕成瘾的量表过时且冗长,因此我们的主要目标是开发一种新的简短的自我诊断量表,可以检测网络成瘾障碍。我们的第二个目标是对这个量表进行心理测量评估。该量表共有1057名参与者(493名男性,564名女性),年龄在14-24岁之间。评估了面部和内容效度、信度和内部一致性。参与者没有报告在理解问题上有任何困难。该量表的最终版本包括10个项目。内容效度指数为1,Pearson相关值为0.98,Cronbach’s alpha为0.923。研究结果表明,saas -10是一种可靠有效的筛查筛查成瘾的工具,可能有助于临床症状评估和研究。
