Résumé
The aim of this research is to examine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the smartphone addiction scale-short form for adolescents (SAS-SV; Kwon, Kim, Cho, & Yang, 2013). Participants were 312 high school students (183 were female and 129 were male) from Bolu Atatürk Anatolian High School. The results of confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the uni-dimensional model was well fitted (x2 = 56.92, df= 31, RMSEA= .052, NFI= .96, CFI= .98, IFI= .98, RFI= .94, GFI= .96, and SRMR= .040 The internal consistency coefficient of the scale was .88. The corrected item-total correlations of SAS-SV ranged from .43 to .76. Overall findings demonstrated that this scale had high validity and reliability scores and that it may be used as a valid and reliable instrument in order to assess smartphone addiction levels of individuals.
