BACKGROUND: Problematic use of the internet (PUI) is prevalent, particularly among adolescents and young adults. Given the limited measures to assess specific types of PUI, which encompasses a broad spectrum of activities such as online gaming, social media use, pornography use, shopping, gambling, and web-streaming, Muller et al. (2022) developed the Assessment of Criteria for Specific Internet-use Disorders (ACSID-11) to comprehensively assess different types of PUI (i.e., gaming, shopping, social media use, gambling, and pornography use). The present study aimed to validate the Chinese ACSID-11 among adolescents incorporating cross-cultural adaptations. METHODS: Using forward-backward translation method, a culturally adapted version of the ACSID-11 was prepared. Then, a cross-sectional online survey was administered between September 8 and September 26, 2023. Adolescents, using a convenience sample (N = 11,492; mean age = 16.42 years [SD ± 0.91]; 59.1% male), were recruited from six schools to complete the translated ACSID-11, Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form (IGDS9-SF), Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale (BSMAS), and Smartphone Application Based Addiction Scale (SABAS) via an online platform. Pearson correlation coefficients assessed convergent/discriminant validity. Factor structure and measurement invariance were examined through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and multi-group CFA. Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega tested internal consistency. RESULTS: Associations between the ACSID-11 components and other scales supported convergent validity (i.e., ACSID-11 gaming scale with IGDS9-SF [0.37 ≤ r ≤ 0.41]; social networks use scale with BSMAS [0.24 ≤ r ≤ 0.31]) and discriminant validity (i.e., online gambling scale with BSMAS [0.16 ≤ r ≤ 0.19] and with SABAS [0.11 ≤ r ≤ 0.13]). A four-factor solution indicated good fit with comparative fit index (CFI) ranging from 0.982 to 0.958. The ACSID-11 was measurement invariant across sexes (∆CFI = -0.001 to 0.000) and different levels of related addictive behaviors (∆CFI = -0.001 to 0.000). Both Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega (0.63 to 0.97) were acceptable for both frequency and intensity of responses. CONCLUSIONS: The ACSID-11 is an appropriate scale to assess different kinds of PUI among Chinese adolescents and students. Psychometric assessment of the measure in other cultures and among clinical samples is recommended.
背景:互联网使用问题(PUI)普遍存在,尤其是在青少年和年轻人中。鉴于评估特定类型 PUI 的方法有限,这些方法涵盖了广泛的活动,如在线游戏、社交媒体使用、色情使用、购物、赌博和网络流媒体,Muller 等人(2022 年)开发了评估特定互联网使用障碍标准(ACSID-11),以全面评估不同类型的 PUI(即游戏、购物、社交媒体使用、赌博和色情使用)。本研究旨在通过跨文化适应,验证中文版 ACSID-11 在青少年中的适用性。
方法:使用正向-反向翻译法,制备文化适应的 ACSID-11 版本。然后,于 2023 年 9 月 8 日至 9 月 26 日进行了一项横断面在线调查。使用便利样本(N=11492;平均年龄 16.42 岁[SD±0.91];59.1%为男性),从六所学校招募青少年完成翻译后的 ACSID-11、互联网游戏障碍量表-短式(IGDS9-SF)、卑尔根社交媒体成瘾量表(BSMAS)和智能手机应用成瘾量表(SABAS),通过在线平台进行。皮尔逊相关系数评估了聚合/区分效度。通过验证性因素分析(CFA)和多组 CFA 检验了结构和测量不变性。克朗巴赫的 alpha 和麦克唐纳的 omega 检验了内部一致性。
结果:ACSID-11 各组成部分与其他量表之间的关联支持聚合效度(即,ACSID-11 游戏量表与 IGDS9-SF[0.37≤r≤0.41];社交网络使用量表与 BSMAS[0.24≤r≤0.31])和区分效度(即,在线赌博量表与 BSMAS[0.16≤r≤0.19]和 SABAS[0.11≤r≤0.13])。四因素模型的拟合指数较好,比较拟合指数(CFI)范围为 0.982 至 0.958。ACSID-11 在性别(∆CFI=-0.001 至 0.000)和不同程度相关成瘾行为(∆CFI=-0.001 至 0.000)方面具有测量不变性。无论是对频率还是对强度的反应,克朗巴赫的 alpha 和麦克唐纳的 omega(0.63 至 0.97)都可接受。
结论:ACSID-11 是一种评估中国青少年和学生不同类型 PUI 的适当量表。建议在其他文化和临床样本中对该量表进行心理测量评估。
