Abstract

The Psycho-Social Aspects of Facebook Use (PSAFU) scale was developed by Bodroza and Jovanovic (2016) to comprehensively measure psychological and social aspects of the users? Facebook (FB) experiences i.e. compensatory use of FB, self-presentation on FB, socializing, and seeking sexual partners through FB, FB addiction, and FB profile as the virtual self. The scale was previously validated on two Serbian samples. The aim of this study was to examine the validity of the PSAFU scale across multiple cultures, i.e. develop a version of the scale that would be suitable for the cross-cultural study of FB behaviors. The sample consisted of 1.632 respondents from Croatia, Italy, Iran, Serbia, and the UK. Administered questionnaires consisted of the PSAFU scale (Bodroza & Jovanovic, 2016), the Big Five Inventory (BFI; John et al., 1991), the Narcissistic Personality Inventory 16 (NPI-16; Ames et al., 2006), socio-demographic, and FB use questions (e.g., time spent on FB on a daily basis, frequency of posting, and number of FB friends). After some modifications and exclusion of the Virtual Self scale, the results of multigroup confirmatory factor analysis show that the PSAFU scale is cross-culturally invariant for the cultures included in this study and suitable for use in them. The remaining dimensions of revised PSAFU scale (PSAFU-R) have statistically significant relationships with measured personality traits and with indicators of FB use, although considerable cross-cultural variations were obtained.
Facebook使用(PSAFU)量表的社会心理方面的跨文化有效性
Facebook使用的心理-社会方面(PSAFU)量表是由Bodroza和Jovanovic(2016)开发的,用于综合衡量用户的心理和社会方面。Facebook的体验包括:代偿性使用Facebook、在Facebook上的自我呈现、社交、通过Facebook寻找性伴侣、Facebook成瘾、以及作为虚拟自我的Facebook档案。该量表先前在两个塞尔维亚样本上进行了验证。本研究的目的是检验PSAFU量表在多文化中的有效性,即开发一种适用于FB行为跨文化研究的量表。样本包括来自克罗地亚、意大利、伊朗、塞尔维亚和英国的1632名受访者。管理问卷包括PSAFU量表(Bodroza & Jovanovic, 2016)、大五量表(BFI;John et al., 1991),自恋人格量表16 (NPI-16;Ames et al., 2006)、社会人口统计学和facebook使用问题(例如,每天在facebook上花费的时间、发帖频率和facebook好友数量)。在对虚拟自我量表进行一些修改和排除后,多组验证性因子分析的结果表明,PSAFU量表对于本研究所包括的文化具有跨文化不变性,适合在这些文化中使用。修订后的PSAFU量表(PSAFU- r)的其余维度与测量的人格特征和FB使用指标有统计学显著的关系,尽管获得了相当大的跨文化差异。
