摘要

The present study had two aims. First, to adapt and validate the Compulsive Internet Use Scale (CIUS) in the Argentine context and second, to test a tentative model to understand the relations of the compulsive Internet use, vamping and procrastination. A cross-sectional study was conducted in which 1342 people participated (51.4% female) residing in different regions of Argentina and with a mean age of 31 years (ranging from 8 to 70 years). The main results indicated adequate psychometric properties for the CIUS, both with respect to its internal validity (CFI = .943; RMSEA = .037) and reliability (Use and Consequences: α = .78; Awareness of the Problem: α = .70), arriving at a short version of the CIUS composed of eight items distributed in two main dimensions: Usage and Consequences and Problem Awareness. Likewise, the relationships between both dimensions of the CIUS with the levels of Fear of Missing Out and mobile phone use were analyzed. A theoretical model was tested in which compulsive Internet use is a central factor for vamping and this, in turn, directly influences procrastination. The main results of the study are discussed, and future lines of research are suggested.
