Abstract

ABSTRACT The present study conceptualized and developed new measurement instruments to assess adolescents’ a) exposure to, b) liking, and c) posting of positive content on social media. By means of an integrative review of the literature, six focus groups and 14 in-depth interviews, 19 items were developed for each scale. Based on a cross-sectional study among 294 adolescents, EFA and CFA extracted two valid and reliable factors for exposure to positive social media content, one valid and reliable factor for liking positive social media content, and three valid and reliable factors for posting positive social media content. A short version of these three (multifactorial) scales was created and administered in a two-wave panel study among 1419 adolescents and in a cross-sectional study among 493 late adolescents. Test–retest reliability, structural validity, construct validity, and full metric invariance across age and gender were established for all short scales, except for the posting scale for which only partial metric invariance was achieved across gender.

应对与积极社交媒体内容互动的测量工具的开发和验证

本研究概念化并开发了新的测量工具来评估青少年在社交媒体上的a)接触，b)喜欢和c)发布积极内容。通过对文献的综合回顾，6个焦点小组和14个深度访谈，每个量表开发了19个项目。基于对294名青少年的横断面研究，EFA和CFA提取了两个有效可靠的因素用于接触积极的社交媒体内容，一个有效可靠的因素用于喜欢积极的社交媒体内容，三个有效可靠的因素用于发布积极的社交媒体内容。这三个(多因子)量表的简短版本被创建并在1419名青少年的两波面板研究和493名晚期青少年的横断面研究中实施。所有短量表均建立了跨年龄和性别的重测信度、结构效度、构念效度和完全度量不变性，但派驻量表在性别上仅实现部分度量不变性。

期刊介绍： Media Psychology is an interdisciplinary journal devoted to publishing theoretically-oriented empirical research that is at the intersection of psychology and media communication. These topics include media uses, processes, and effects. Such research is already well represented in mainstream journals in psychology and communication, but its publication is dispersed across many sources. Therefore, scholars working on common issues and problems in various disciplines often cannot fully utilize the contributions of kindred spirits in cognate disciplines.
