Abstract

Despite problematic internet use being especially high among adolescents, there are no screening instruments in Spain specifically for adolescents that would facilitate early detection of this problem. The main goal of this study was to validate the Compulsive Internet Use Scale (CIUS) in the adolescent Spanish population as well as to analyze the discriminative capacity of CIUS based on sociodemographic characteristics, grade point average, and other addictive behaviors. Data were obtained from the ESTUDES, a representative survey of addictive behaviors of Spanish adolescents. The sample consisted of a total of 34,308 adolescents aged between 14 and 18 years old (M_age = 15.70; SD = 1.19; 51.7% females). Results indicated that the CIUS fit a unidimensional structure, exhibited measurement invariance with respect to sex and age, and demonstrated excellent reliability (ω = .94). Past-month tobacco, alcohol, and cannabis use, as well as past-year gambling and gaming, were related to CIUS scores. A standardized screening instrument that provides valid, reliable information on young people's use of the Internet in Spain is a critical requirement for successful early detection and intervention in this population.

西班牙青少年强迫性使用互联网量表的心理测量验证。

尽管青少年使用互联网的问题特别多，但西班牙还没有专门针对青少年的筛查工具，以帮助及早发现这一问题。本研究的主要目的是在西班牙青少年群体中验证强迫性网络使用量表（CIUS），并根据社会人口特征、平均成绩和其他成瘾行为分析 CIUS 的判别能力。数据来自ESTUDES，这是一项针对西班牙青少年成瘾行为的代表性调查。样本包括 34 308 名年龄在 14 至 18 岁之间的青少年（年龄 = 15.70；标准差 = 1.19；女性占 51.7%）。结果表明，CIUS符合单维结构，在性别和年龄方面表现出测量不变性，并显示出极佳的可靠性（ω = .94）。上个月的烟草、酒精和大麻使用情况以及上一年的赌博和游戏情况与CIUS得分有关。一种标准化的筛查工具能够提供有效、可靠的信息，说明西班牙青少年使用互联网的情况，这是对这一人群进行成功的早期发现和干预的关键要求。
