Özet
The aim of this study is to adapt the Application Based Smartphone Addiction Scale, which has been developed to determine the smart phone addiction, which is becoming a common problem every day. The study was carried out with 474 students in 2017 - 2018 academic year at Bolu Abant Izzet Baysal University Faculty of Education. In exploratory factor analysis (EFA) for construct validity, the items were collected under a single factor in keeping with the original structure. The rate of explained variance was 52.658%. The eigenvalue of the factor was determined to be 3.159. Factor loadings of the items ranged between 0.531 and 0.835, and all of the error variances were less than 0.05. Asymptotic covariance and correlation matrices and Weighted Least Square (WLS) estimation method were preferred because of the structure of data in Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Tvalues of the items were found to be significant at the level of 0.01 (30.522-41.257). Factor loadings of the items were found to be high (0.50-0.81). When the model fit indices were examined, the fit values calculated as χ2/sd = 2.09, RMSEA = 0.068, GFI = 0.99, AGFI = 0.98, CFI = 0.98, NNFI = 0.96, NFI = 0.96, SRMR = 0.044 indicated acceptable or excellent fit. Cronbach Alpha internal consistency coefficient was found to be 0.81 within the scope of reliability studies. In addition, the test-retest correlation coefficient was found to be 0.92 at four-week intervals. In this study, it has been ensured that this scale related to smartphone addiction, which has recently become a serious problem, has been introduced to national literature.
