标题：The adaptation of mobile phone addiction scale into turkish: Validity and reliability study Cep telefonu bağımlılığı ölçeği (CBÖ)’nin Türkçe’ ye uyarlanması: Geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışması
摘要：The aim of this study is to adapt the Mobile Phone Addiction Scale developed by Chóliz (2012) for Turkish culture and investigate its validity and reliability. A total of 412 participants including 253 female and 159 male students who study in various high schools of Amasya province consists of the research sample. Within the context of the adaptation studies of the scale, group translation and back translation techniques were used. Item analysis, validity and reliability analyses of the research were realized following the linguistic equivalence study. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed to test the construct validity and the analysis results proved that the compliance indices were at acceptable level (RMSEA = .094, CFI = .96, TLI = .96). As a result of these analyses, it was understood that the Mobile Phone Addiction Scale repeated the original factor structure in the sample of Turkish students and had sufficient validity. In addition, the Cronbach α values of the whole scale and its subscales were calculated to test the reliability of the scale. Cronbach α values were specified as .92 for the whole of the scale, and .77 and .87 for subscales. In addition, split half correlation analyzes were conducted and the Spearmann Brown correlation value was found to be .85. Consequently, these values show that the Mobile Phone Addiction Scale is a valid and reliable scaleforhigh school students in Turkey to measure mobile phone addiction.
