إدمان المخدرات الرقمية : أدلة الصدق والثبات والانتشار بين الشباب
The study aimed to investigate the factor structure of the Digital Music Addiction Scale as an indicator of digital drug addiction among a sample of youth. A random sample of egyptian youth was chosen through social networking sites voluntarily. The study tool by Hamakawa (2022) was applied, which consisted of seven factors, six of which were measured along the lines of the Bergen Behavioral Addiction Scale, and a problematic dimension was added to estimate dependency. The study found the superiority of the second-order two-factor model, which studies the addiction criterion and the emotional participation criterion, and the results also demonstrated the conformity of the seven-factor model. The scale achieved an appropriate amount of internal consistency by using Cronbach's alpha coefficient, whose values for dimensions ranged from 0.70 to 0.95. The study identified a median cut-off point that defines the risk stage that may cause clinical suffering in Egyptian youth that requires treatment. The study used phenomenological analysis in the light of three criteria: muscular spasm, emotional arousal and irritability, and feelings that accompany listening to music. The researchers calculated the diagnostic validity according to the criterion of muscle spasm, and he achieved a diagnostic value of 74.1%, and it was proven that the possibility of sorting reached 88.9% in sorting and surveying cases suffering from digital music addiction who suffer from muscle spasm at the 30th and 40th percentiles of the degree of the scale. The diagnostic accuracy in the case of emotional irritability was 91.5%, and the sensitivity of the scale was 97.2%, and the specificity was 66.3%. (Published abstract)
