Abstract

BACKGROUND

The growing accessibility to smartphones has raised concerns about addictive patterns associated with these technologies. A Smartphone Addiction Scale has been developed to assess individuals' smartphone addiction. However, the psychometric properties of the Smartphone Addiction Scale are scarce in the context of Saudi Arabia.

AIMS

This study aimed to translate and adapt the Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS) to Arabic and examine the psychometric properties of the Arabic scale in the context of Saudi Arabia.

METHODS

Forward and backward translations were performed on the English SAS, as recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO, 2016). The translated version was initially administered to 20 students in a pilot study. In the full study, a sample of 624 participants (52.5% females, mean age = 25 years) responded to questionnaires containing SAS, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and the Smartphone Application-Based Addiction Scale. The survey was sent via online platforms in order to reach as many and diverse participants as possible. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted.

RESULTS

The EFA resulted in a structure of six factors and the CFA indicated that the 6-factor model (daily disturbance, positive anticipation, withdrawal, cyberspace-oriented relationships, overuse, and tolerance) had a good fit in Saudi Arabia (CFI = 0.92, TLI = 0.90, RMSEA = 0.04, SRMR = 0.04). The scale was also gender invariant and exhibited adequate reliability and convergent and concurrent validity.

CONCLUSIONS

The SAS is a reliable and valid measure that can be used to assess smartphone addiction in Saudi Arabia.

摘要

背景

智能手机的普及引发了人们对与这些技术相关的成瘾模式的担忧。为了评估个体的智能手机成瘾程度，已经开发出了智能手机成瘾量表。然而，在沙特阿拉伯的背景下，关于智能手机成瘾量表的心理测量学特性却很少。

目的

本研究旨在翻译和改编智能手机成瘾量表（SAS）为阿拉伯语，并检验该量表在沙特阿拉伯的心理测量学特性。

方法

根据世界卫生组织（WHO，2016 年）的建议，对英文 SAS 进行了正向和反向翻译。翻译版本首先在一项预试验中对 20 名学生进行了测试。在全研究中，对 624 名参与者（52.5%为女性，平均年龄为 25 岁）进行了问卷调查，其中包括 SAS、医院焦虑抑郁量表和智能手机应用成瘾量表。调查通过在线平台发送，以便尽可能多地接触到不同类型的参与者。进行了探索性和验证性因素分析。

结果

EFA 得出了一个由六个因素组成的结构，而 CFA 表明，在沙特阿拉伯，6 因素模型（日常干扰、积极预期、戒断、网络空间导向的关系、过度使用和耐受）具有良好的拟合度（CFI=0.92，TLI=0.90，RMSEA=0.04，SRMR=0.04）。该量表也具有性别不变性，表现出足够的信度、收敛和同时效度。
