| Abstract (English): | This study analyzes the psychometric properties of Young's Internet Addiction Test (IAT) in a sample of university students from the city of Arequipa. A total of 317 students from a private university were evaluated (43.5% women and 56.5% men). This instrumental study estimated the test's internal structure, reliability, and scoring norms based on the 19-item peruvian version. The results suggest that, after conducting exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, the unidimensional structure showed the best fit indices. Internal consistency was estimated using Cronbach's Alpha and McDonald's Omega, with highly optimal levels above .90. It is concluded that the test provides adequate evidence of validity and reliability, although its four-dimensional structure has not been verified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): | En el presente estudio se analizan las propiedades psicométricas del Test de Adicción a Internet (TAI) de Young en una muestra de estudiantes universitarios de la ciudad de Arequipa. Se evaluaron 317 estudiantes de una universidad privada (43,5 % mujeres y 56,5 % varones). Se trató de un estudio instrumental, en el que se estimaron la estructura interna, la confiabilidad y los baremos para su calificación, a partir de la versión peruana de 19 ítems. Los resultados sugieren que, tras realizar tanto un análisis factorial exploratorio como confirmatorio, la estructura unidimensional es la que mejor índices de bondad de ajuste presenta. La consistencia interna se estimó mediante las pruebas Alfa de Cronbach y Omega de McDonald, con niveles muy óptimos por encima de .90. Se concluye que la prueba cuenta con evidencias de validez y confiabilidad adecuadas, aunque no se ha verificado su estructura de cuatro dimensiones. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
