Description
Summary:The Mobile-Related Experiences Questionnaire is a test designed to assess the experiences of the Spanish population with mobile phones. It consists of 10 items that evaluate the dimensions of Conflict and Communicational and Emotional Use. The aim of this study is to validate the scale in a sample of the local adult population. The sample was composed of 541 adults from Buenos Aires (19.0% male, 80.2% female, 0.7% non-binary), between the ages of 18 and 76 years (M = 28.1, SD = 9.76). Data were collected using a Sociodemographic Data Survey, the Mobile-Related Experiences Questionnaire, the Generalized Problematic Internet Use Scale 2, and the Symptom Checklist 27. The bifactorial structure was verified by means of a confirmatory factor analysis. The internal consistency was adequate. Evidence of concurrent validity is reported, and reference values are established. In conclusion, this study provides evidence of the psychometric quality of the questionnaire in a local sample.
