Abstract

The purpose of this research is to develop the smart phone addiction scale and conduct the studies of its validity and reliability. In accordance with this purpose, a literature review was performed and an item pool was generated while developing the Scale and expert view was received for face and content validity and the scale was pilot-applied to the target group. The scale was corrected in line with the pilot application and expert views, and then it was applied to the participants and the studies were performed for factorial and structure validity and reliability. The participants of the research were categorized into two separate groups for two different studies in developing the smart phone addiction scale. The first study was composed of 234 students who study at different high schools in the city center in Sakarya for the exploratory factor analysis. The second study comprised of 228 students who study at ninth grade of different high schools in the city center in Sakarya for the confirmatory factor analysis. For the factorial validity, the scale was firstly analyzed with the exploratory factor analysis and a confirmatory factor analysis was performed to confirm this structure. Convergent and discriminant validity was applied for the structure validity of the scale. As a result, a valid and reliable smart phone addiction scale was obtained.
