Cross-national validation of the social media disorder scale: findings from adolescents from 44 countries

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Background and aims There is currently no cross-national validation of a scale that measures problematic social media use (SMU). The present study investigated and compared the psychometric properties of the social media disorder (SMD) scale among young adolescents from different countries. Design Validation study. Setting and participants Data came from 222 532 adolescents from 44 countries participating in the health behaviour in school-aged children (HBSC) survey (2017/2018). The HBSC survey was conducted in the European region and Canada. Participants were on average aged 13.54 years (standard deviation = 1.63) and 51.24% were girls. Measurement Problematic SMU was measured using the nine-item SMD scale with dichotomous response options. Findings Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) showed good model fit for a one-factor model across all countries (minimum comparative fit index (CFI) and Tucker-Lewis index (TLI) = 0.963 and 0.951, maximum root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) and standardized root mean square residual (SRMR) = 0.057 and 0.060), confirming structural validity. The internal consistency of the items was adequate in all countries (minimum alpha = 0.840), indicating that the scale provides reliable scores. Multi-group CFA showed that the factor structure was measurement invariant across countries (Delta CFI = -0.010, Delta RMSEA = 0.003), suggesting that adolescents&apos; level of problematic SMU can be reliably compared cross-nationally. In all countries, gender and socio-economic invariance was established, and age invariance was found in 43 of 44 countries. In line with prior research, in almost all countries, problematic SMU related to poorer mental wellbeing (range beta(STDY) = 0.193-0.924, P &lt; 0.05) and higher intensity of online communication (range beta(STDY) = 0.163-0.635, P &lt; 0.05), confirming appropriate criterion validity. Conclusions The social media disorder scale appears to be suitable for measuring and comparing problematic social media use among young adolescents across many national contexts.
