Abstract

Abstract This study provided preliminary evidence for a new Social Media Identity Distress Scale (SMIDS) using two subsamples of emerging adults (18-25 years of age) from Amazon Turk (each n = 373). The factor analysis revealed a single-factor scale explaining 72.9% of the variance in the items and supported a 20-item version of the original 66-item instrument. The evidence of convergent validity and reliability supported using the SMIDS as a potential instrument to evaluate the mental stress regarding the ability to create a coherent self-concept while engaging in social media activities experienced by emerging adults. Implications for practice and future directions of research are provided.

新兴成人社交媒体身份困扰量表的开发与初步验证

摘要本研究利用亚马逊土耳其网站上的两个新成人(18-25岁)子样本(每个n = 373)，为新的社交媒体身份困扰量表(SMIDS)提供了初步证据。因子分析显示，单因素量表解释了72.9%的项目差异，并支持原来的66项工具的20项版本。趋同效度和信度的证据支持将SMIDS作为一种潜在的工具来评估新兴成人在参与社交媒体活动时创造连贯自我概念能力的精神压力。最后提出了对实践的启示和未来的研究方向。

期刊介绍： Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development is an official journal of the Association of Assessment and Research in Counseling (AARC), a member association and division of the American Counseling Association. Articles range in appeal from those that deal with theoretical and other problems of the measurement specialist to those directed to the administrator, the counselor, or the personnel worker--in schools and colleges, public and private agencies, business, industry, and government. All articles clearly describe implications for the counseling field and for practitioners, educators, administrators, researchers, or students in assessment, measurement, and evaluation.
