Özet:

 The aim of this research is to adapt the Digital Addiction Scale for Teenagers, developed by Seema, Heidmets, Konstabel, and Varik-Maasik 2022, into Turkish and perform validity and reliability studies. The research was conducted with 611 students attending three secondary and three high schools in Aydın province Efeler district, selected by simple random sampling method. Digital Addiction Scale for Teenagers, Youngs Internet Addiction Test-Short Form, Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version, Life Satisfaction Scale, and personal information form were used in the study. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed to examine the construct validity of the scale and the single-factor structure of the Digital Addiction Scale for Teenagers was confirmed. It was determined that the measurement model of the Digital Addiction Scale for Teenagers provided measurement invariance according to gender. In the discriminant and concurrent validity assessment, it was determined that there were positive and significant relationships between the Digital Addiction Scale for Teenagers and Youngs Internet Addiction Test-Short Form and the Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version, while there was a negative significant relationship between the Digital Addiction Scale for Teenagers and the Life Satisfaction Scale. As a result of the internal consistency analysis conducted within the scope of reliability studies, the Cronbach alpha reliability coefficient of the Digital Addiction Scale for Teenagers was found as 0,87. The test-retest reliability coefficient of the scale was calculated as 0,83. The research findings show that the Turkish version of the Digital Addiction Scale for Teenagers is a valid and reliable measurement tool.

 Bu araştırmanın amacı Seema, Heidmets, Konstabel ve Varik-Maasik 2022 tarafından geliştirilen Ergenler için Dijital Bağımlılık Ölçeğini Türkçeye uyarlayarak geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışmalarını gerçekleştirmektir. Araştırma Aydın ili Efeler ilçesinde basit tesadüfi örnekleme yöntemi ile seçilen üç ortaokul ve üç lisede eğitim gören 611 öğrencinin katılımıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmada Ergenler için Dijital Bağımlılık Ölçeği, Young İnternet Bağımlılığı Testi-Kısa Formu, Akıllı Telefon Bağımlılığı Ölçeği-Kısa Versiyonu, Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği ve kişisel bilgi formu kullanılmıştır. Ölçeğin yapı geçerliğini incelemek için doğrulayıcı faktör analizi yapılmış ve Ergenler İçin Dijital Bağımlılık Ölçeğinin tek faktörlü yapısı doğrulanmıştır. Ergenler için Dijital Bağımlılık Ölçeğinin ölçme modelinin cinsiyete göre ölçme değişmezliğini sağladığı belirlenmiştir. Ergenler için Dijital Bağımlılık Ölçeği ile Young İnternet Bağımlılığı Testi-Kısa Formu ve Akıllı Telefon Bağımlılığı Ölçeği-Kısa Versiyonu arasında pozitif yönlü anlamlı ilişkiler tespit edilerek benzer ölçek geçerliğinin sağlandığı görülmüştür. Ayrıca, Ergenler için Dijital Bağımlılık Ölçeği ile Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği arasında negatif yönlü anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilerek ayırt edici ölçek geçerliğinin sağlandığı belirlenmiştir. Güvenirlik çalışmaları kapsamında yapılan iç tutarlılık analizi sonucunda Ergenler için Dijital Bağımlılık Ölçeğinin Cronbach alfa güvenirlik katsayısı 0,87 bulunmuştur. Ölçeğin test-tekrar test güvenirlik katsayısı ise 0,83 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Araştırma bulguları Ergenler için Dijital Bağımlılık Ölçeğinin Türkçe versiyonunun geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğunu göstermektedir.
