We report the development and validation of a scale to measure online shopping addiction. Inspired by previous theories and research on behavioral addiction, the Griffiths's widely accepted six-factor component model was referred to and an 18-item scale was constructed, with each component measured by three items. The results of exploratory factor analysis, based on Sample 1 (999 college students) and confirmatory factor analysis, based on Sample 2 (854 college students) showed the Griffiths's substantive six-factor structure underlay the online shopping addiction scale. Cronbach's alpha suggested that the resulting scale was highly reliable. Concurrent validity, based on Sample 3 (328 college students), was also satisfactory as indicated by correlations between the scale and measures of similar constructs. Finally, self-perceived online shopping addiction can be predicted to a relatively high degree. The present 18-item scale is a solid theory-based instrument to empirically measure online shopping addiction and can be used for understanding the phenomena among young adults.
我们报告了一种用于测量网购成瘾的量表的开发与验证情况。受先前关于行为成瘾的理论和研究启发，参考了格里菲斯被广泛认可的六因素成分模型，并构建了一个包含18个条目的量表，每个成分由三个条目测量。基于样本1（999名大学生）的探索性因素分析结果以及基于样本2（854名大学生）的验证性因素分析结果表明，格里菲斯的实质性六因素结构构成了网购成瘾量表的基础。克朗巴哈系数表明所得到的量表具有高度可靠性。基于样本3（328名大学生）的同时效度也令人满意，这通过该量表与类似构念测量指标之间的相关性得以体现。最后，自我感知的网购成瘾能够在较高程度上被预测。目前这个包含18个条目的量表是一个基于坚实理论的工具，可用于实证测量网购成瘾，并可用于了解年轻人中的这一现象。
