This study aims to examine the mediating role of the level of alexithymia in the relationship between smartphone addiction and identity functions. The study group included 460 participants who were students attending Anatolian High Schools in four districts of Istanbul, and they were identified by a simple random sampling method. In this study, the Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version, the Identity Function Scale, the Toronto Alexithymia Scale, and a personal information form were used. The structural equation model (SEM) and bootstrapping were utilized to test the mediation analysis of the research. In the results of the analysis, it was found that smartphone addiction in high school students negatively predicted identity function ( β = − 0.37; p < .01), but positively predicted the alexithymia level ( β = 0.43; p < .01). In addition, it was found that the alexithymia level of high school students negatively predicted identity function ( β = − 0.43; p < .01). Finally, it was concluded that the alexithymia level in high school students mediates smartphone addiction to predict identity functions ( β = − 0.19; p < .01). The model fit values were also found to be within acceptable values ( χ 2 / df = 2.12, p < .0.1, RMSA = 0.05, SRMR = 0.05, GFI = 0.91, CFI = 0.94, TLI = 0.93).

In this study, we aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the Smartphone Addiction Inventory-Short Form (SPAI-SF) developed by Lin et al. for Turkish high school students. We analyzed the construct validity by conducting a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with the data collected from 578 participants who used smartphones in the past 3 months. Young’s Internet Addiction Test-Short Form was used for criterion validity. We calculated the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient for the internal consistency of the scale. We conducted the test-retest reliability of the scale with 109 students. We used item analysis based on the correlations method. As a result of CFA, x2/df=2.25, root mean square error of approximation=0.047, comparative fit index =0.98, normed fit index=0.96, and incremental fit index=0.98. We found a highly positive and significant relationship between total scores of the two scales (r=0.57, p<0.001). The Cronbach’s alpha value was 0.85 in the internal consistency analysis. First and retest total scores were highly positively correlated (r=0.68, p<0.001). In the item analysis based on correlations, the Spearman correlation coefficients calculated for each item ranged from 0.47 to 0.70 (p<0.001). SPAI-SF can be used as a measurement tool to evaluate the risk of smartphone addiction in Turkish high school students.
