This study describes the construction and validation process of two questionnaires designed to assess the addictive use of Internet and mobile phones. The scales were applied to a sample of 1,879 students. Results support a two-factor model, presenting an acceptable internal consistency and indices of convergent and discriminant validity. The Questionnaire of Experiences Related to Internet was found to assess intra- and interpersonal conflicts related to Internet use. The Questionnaire of Experiences Related to the Mobile Phone was found to assess conflicts related to mobile phone abuse and to maladaptive emotional and communicational patterns. Our results indicate that the mobile phone does not produce the same degree of addictive behavior as Internet; it could rather be interpreted as problematic use. Men displayed more addictive use of Internet, whilst women seemed to use the mobile phone as a means for emotional communication. It seems that the use of both technologies is more problematic during adolescence and normalizes with age toward a more professional and less playful use, and with fewer negative consequences.
本研究描述了两份旨在评估互联网和手机成瘾性使用的问卷的构建及验证过程。这些量表应用于1879名学生的样本。结果支持双因素模型，呈现出可接受的内部一致性以及收敛效度和区分效度指标。发现互联网相关体验问卷可评估与互联网使用相关的人际内和人际冲突。发现手机相关体验问卷可评估与手机滥用以及适应不良的情绪和沟通模式相关的冲突。我们的结果表明，手机不会产生与互联网相同程度的成瘾行为；它更可被解释为使用问题。男性在互联网使用上表现出更多成瘾性，而女性似乎将手机用作情感交流的手段。似乎在青春期，这两种技术的使用问题更大，随着年龄增长会趋于正常，转向更专业且玩乐性更低的使用方式，负面后果也更少。
