摘要

The rise of short video platforms has increased concerns about addiction, especially among adolescents. This study aimed to develop a Short Video Addiction Scale for middle school students. A sample of 1492 middle school students participated in the study. Initial items were derived from qualitative interviews and refined through psychometric analyses, including Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analyses. The final scale, consisting of 15 items across five factors (Academic Procrastination, Interpersonal Strain, Social Communication Difficulties, Attention Concentration Difficulties, and Impaired Control over Short Video Use), demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = 0.900), test-retest reliability, and strong validity. The Short Video Addiction Scale, a 15-item scale, demonstrates robust psychometric properties. It is reliable and valid for assessing short video addiction among middle school students and will be a valuable tool for identifying and addressing the growing concerns of short video addiction in adolescents.
