Psychometric properties of an instrument for assessing cyber-sex addiction. Cyber-sex addiction is a «new pathology» whose prevalence has grown rapidly in recent years. Therefore, it is important to have validated assessment instruments. The aim of this study was the adaptation and validation of the Internet Sex Screening Test (ISST) for its use in a Spanish population. The instrument was administered to 1239 Spanish college students. The results yielded five components that account for 47.5% of the variance. Internal consistency was .88 and temporal stability was .84. Moreover, the instrument had adequate convergent and discriminant validity and was related to other behaviors such as the use of pornography, internet addiction, number of hours online and sexual frequency. Therefore, this tool is proposed as an appropriate measure to assess cyber-sex addiction.
一种用于评估网络性成瘾的工具的心理测量特性。网络性成瘾是一种“新的病理学现象”，其患病率近年来迅速增长。因此，拥有经过验证的评估工具很重要。本研究的目的是对互联网性筛查测试（ISST）进行改编和验证，以便在西班牙人群中使用。该工具被应用于1239名西班牙大学生。结果产生了五个因素，它们占方差的47.5%。内部一致性为0.88，时间稳定性为0.84。此外，该工具具有足够的收敛效度和区分效度，并且与其他行为相关，如色情内容的使用、网络成瘾、上网时长和性频率。因此，该工具被提议作为评估网络性成瘾的一种合适措施。
