Abstract

To develop the problematic mobile phone use scale short version (PMPUS-S) and very short version (PMPUS-VS), data were collected from college and middle-school students in Tianjin city. Based on exploratory factor analysis, the PMPUS-S and PMPUS-VS were developed from the item pool of Problematic Mobile Phone Use Questionnaires. Measurement invariance was tested based on the multi-group confirmatory factor analysis, and the reliability and validity were assessed. The results showed that the PMPUS-S contained 8 items (4 items under each dimension) and 2 dimensions (withdrawal behavior and nomophobia), while the PMPUS-VS contained all 4 items in the withdrawal behavior dimension. The PMPUS-S and PMPUS-VS exhibited strong reliability and validity. Moreover, the PMPUS-S had strict invariance across age groups and genders, while the PMPUS-VS had strict invariance across age groups and did not meet measurement invariance across gender. The results suggest that PMPUS-S and PMPUS-VS meet the requirements of psychometric characteristics and can be used to evaluate the problematic mobile phone usage behavior of individuals.

Key words： Problematic Mobile Phone Use Scale; validity; reliability; measurement invariance
