Youth sociopolitical action, which encompasses a broad range of behaviors to dismantle systems of oppression, is increasingly taking place on social media and digital platforms. This study presents the development and validation of a 15-item Sociopolitical Action Scale for Social Media (SASSM) through three sequential studies: in Study I, a scale was developed based on interviews with 20 young digital activists (=19, 35% cis-gender women, 90% youth of color). In Study II, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) identified a unidimensional scale using a sample of 809 youth (M=17, 55.7% cis-gender women, 60.1% youth of color). In Study III, an EFA and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were used to confirm the factor structure of a slightly modified set of items with a new sample of 820 youth (=17, 45.9% cis-gender women, 53.9% youth of color). Measurement invariance testing was conducted by age, gender, racial and ethnic background, and immigrant identity, confirming full configural and metric invariance, and full or partial scalar invariance. The SASSM can further research on youths' efforts to challenge oppression and injustice online.
青年社会政治行动涵盖了一系列旨在瓦解压迫制度的广泛行为，这种行动越来越多地在社交媒体和数字平台上展开。本研究通过三项连贯的研究，呈现了一个包含15个项目的社交媒体社会政治行动量表（SASSM）的开发与验证过程：在研究一中，基于对20名年轻数字活动家（19名，35%为顺性别女性，90%为有色人种青年）的访谈开发了一个量表。在研究二中，探索性因素分析（EFA）使用809名青年样本（平均年龄17岁，55.7%为顺性别女性，60.1%为有色人种青年）确定了一个单维量表。在研究三中，使用一个新的820名青年样本（平均年龄17岁，45.9%为顺性别女性，53.9%为有色人种青年），通过探索性因素分析和验证性因素分析（CFA）来确认一组略有修改的项目的因素结构。通过年龄、性别、种族和民族背景以及移民身份进行了测量不变性测试，确认了完全构型和度量不变性，以及完全或部分标量不变性。SASSM可以进一步推动对青少年在网上挑战压迫和不公正行为的研究。
