Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to revise the Chen Internet Addiction Scale (CIAS-R) among older adults in China. Method: 1,107 participants were recruited through an online survey. The factorial structure, reliability, and validity of the CIAS-R were tested. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was employed to distinguish individuals’ Internet addiction membership. Results: The first-order five-factor model was demonstrated to best explain the underlying structure of the CIAS-R among the elderly in China. Time spent online, sense of loneliness, and depression provided evidence for the criterion validity of the CIAS-R. The magnitude of the correlation coefficients indicated Internet addiction may lead to psychological problems. LPA analysis showed the elderly could be clustered into four types based on their Internet addiction severity. Conclusion: The CIAS-R is a reliable and valid measure of Internet addiction among the elderly. This study offers a feasible way to intervene in the addicted aged for social workers and clinicians.

修订的陈氏网络成瘾量表在中国老年人中的检验

目的:本研究旨在修订中国老年人陈氏网络成瘾量表(CIAS-R)。方法:通过在线调查，招募1107名参与者。对CIAS-R的析因结构、信度和效度进行检验。使用潜在特征分析(LPA)来区分个体的网络成瘾成员。结果:一阶五因子模型最能解释中国老年人CIAS-R的潜在结构。上网时间、孤独感和抑郁为CIAS-R的效度提供了证据。相关系数的大小表明网络成瘾可能导致心理问题。LPA分析显示，根据网络成瘾的严重程度，老年人可以分为四种类型。结论:CIAS-R量表是一种可靠、有效的评估老年人网络成瘾的方法。本研究为社会工作者和临床医生提供了一种可行的干预老年成瘾的方法。

期刊介绍： Research on Social Work Practice, sponsored by the Society for Social Work and Research, is a disciplinary journal devoted to the publication of empirical research concerning the methods and outcomes of social work practice. Social work practice is broadly interpreted to refer to the application of intentionally designed social work intervention programs to problems of societal and/or interpersonal importance, including behavior analysis or psychotherapy involving individuals; case management; practice involving couples, families, and small groups; community practice education; and the development, implementation, and evaluation of social policies.
