Problematic use of the mobile telephone is an emerging phenomenon in our society, and one which particularly affects the teenage population. Knowledge from research on the problematic use of this technology is necessary, since such use can give rise to a behavioural pattern with addictive characteristics. There are hardly any scales for measuring possible problematic use of mobile phones, and none at all adapted exclusively for the Spanish adolescent population. The scale most widely used internationally is the Mobile Phone Problem Use Scale (MPPUS). The aim of the present study is to adapt the MPPUS for use with Spanish adolescents. The Spanish version of the questionnaire was administered to a sample of 1132 adolescents aged 12 to 18. Reliability and factorial validity were comparable to those obtained in adult population, so that the measure of problematic mobile phone use in Spanish teenagers is one-dimensional. A prevalence of 14.8% of problematic users was detected.
手机的问题使用在我们的社会中是一种新兴现象，尤其影响青少年群体。对这项技术的问题使用进行研究的知识是必要的，因为这种使用可能会引发具有成瘾特征的行为模式。几乎没有用于衡量手机可能存在的问题使用的量表，更没有专门为西班牙青少年群体设计的量表。国际上使用最广泛的量表是手机问题使用量表（MPPUS）。本研究的目的是使MPPUS适用于西班牙青少年。该问卷的西班牙语版本被施用于1132名年龄在12至18岁的青少年样本。其信度和因子效度与在成年人群体中获得的结果相当，因此西班牙青少年手机问题使用的测量是单维的。检测到问题使用者的患病率为14.8%。
