| Sumario: | Online social networks have become one of the basic communication tools for social interaction nowadays, but they also have some limitations, one of them being addiction of people towards them. People showing addictive symptoms may have a series of problems, including difficult cognitive flexibility for decision-making, omission of their responsibilities or conflicts with concentration, among others. Objectives. Validate and adapt the addiction scale created by Sahin (2018), "Social Media Addcition Scale-Student Form", to the Mexican context. Method. Once the scale was adapted, it was applied to 17,600 Mexican high school students. The present research followed these steps for reliability: exploratory factor analysis, reduction of the items until reaching perfect factorization, confirmatory factor analysis for the purpose of measuring the structure of the factor model, confirmatory factor analysis of both first and second order, and analysis of internal consistency. Conclusion. There was a high level of reliability and all the items concentrated around four factors, namely problems, satisfaction, obsession to be informed and need/obsession to be connected. |
