Objective To evaluate factorial and construct validity of the Brazilian Portuguese version of the Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale (BFAS-BR). Methods A sociodemographic questionnaire, the Brazilian Portuguese versions of Online Cognition Scale (OCS-BR) and of BFAS-BR were applied to a sample of Health Undergraduate (n = 356). Construct validity evidences were verified through the Confirmatory Factor Analysis. Discriminant validity was examined by correlational analysis between the version of the BFAS-BR and OCS-BR. Results Proposed factorial model of BFAS did not present a good quality adjustment. So, a model restructuring was necessary from behavioral addiction theoretical views and new model presented satisfactory adjustment quality and construct validity evidence. Correlation between both tested scales was strong (ρ = 0.707) and, therefore, they measure the same construct. Conclusion The BFAS-BR show adequate factorial and construct validity.

“…Therefore, in order to overcome such methodological drawbacks, research has focused on developing psychometrically sound instruments to assess SNS addiction, such as the six-item Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale (BFAS) . The BFAS offers many advantages, including but not limited to its solid theoretical framework, brevity and ease of use, and extensive cross-cultural validity across many countries and samples (e.g., Jafarkarimi et al 2016;Phanasathit et al 2015;Salem et al 2016;Silva et al 2015), applicable to Portuguese teenage populations as well (Pontes et al 2016a).…”

Based on the six key components of addiction, the Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale (BFAS) is a widely used instrument to assess Facebook addiction. This study aimed to conduct a psychometric validation in a Portuguese sample of emerging adults (ages 18 to 29 years). The construct validity analyses confirmed the one-factor solution and a statistically significant association found between Facebook addiction and Preference for Online Social Interaction, measured by the Generalized Problematic Internet Use Scale 2, warranted the scale criterion validity. Internal consistency was scrutinized using Cronbach's α (α = .87) and stability measured by test-retest (r = .94). Associations between BFAS scores and Brief Symptom Inventory dimensions scores (e.g., interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety) and the GPIUS2 subscale, deficient self-regulation, scores were evaluated. A subsample with higher levels of addiction was analyzed. In summary, the results of the present study support the use of the Portuguese version of the BFAS in both research and clinical milieus. Further implications for research and practice were considered. Keywords Behavioral addiction. Social networking sites. Bergen Facebook addiction scale (BFAS). Portuguese psychometric studies. Emerging adults Social networking sites (SNSs) are a global phenomenon, enjoying an exponential increase in their use (e.g., Facebook, Twitter). Participation in SNSs is currently one of the main activities on the Internet, especially for younger generations (Eurostat 2016; Kuss and Griffiths 2011). In Portugal, the use of SNSs is also extremely popular, being one of the preferred online activities of Portuguese adolescents and young adults (Pontes and Patrão 2014). SNSs constitute virtual communities where users can: (1) create a public or semi-public profile, (2) manage a list of other users with whom they have a connection, and (3) view and intersect their list of connections with those made by other users (Boyd and Ellison 2008). One specific aspect of SNSs is their focus on

“…El FoMO es un factor potenciador que impulsa la conducta de conexión (uso y abuso) al aumentar la participación en las redes sociales, especialmente en el grupo de los jóvenes que constantemente actualizan sus RSV y retroalimentan a sus pares siguiendo un ciclo de conexión (Abel et al, 2016;Alt, 2015). (Ahmet, Demirci, y Serap, 2017;Andreassen et al, 2012;Silva et al, 2015) han evaluado sus propiedades psicométricas, donde prevalece la unidimensionalidad de la escala, además la fiabilidad supera el α>.80 que indicaría óptimos resultados a nivel de precisión de las puntuaciones en población universitaria (Ahmet et al, 2017;Andreassen, 2015;Andreassen et al, 2012;Dias et al, 2018;Phanasathit, Manwong, Hanprathet, Khumsri y Yingyeun, 2015;Salem et al, 2015;Satici y Uysal, 2015;Silva et al, 2015) .…”

ResumenEl impacto de las redes sociales en la vida cotidiana se ha convertido complejo en el establecimiento de límites entre el uso normal y patológico que podría conllevar a un trastorno adictivo. El objetivo del presente estudio fue brindar evidencias de validez y fiabilidad de las puntuaciones de la escala BFAS en población de estudiantes universitarios. La evaluación de las evidencias de validez y fiabilidad se realizó en una muestra de 510 jóvenes universitarios. La edad promedio de los participantes fue de 20.74 años (DEedad=2.57) el 54,1% fueron mujeres, se presentaron ligeras diferencias a nivel de grupo (sexo) pero no a nivel de significancia práctica d=.18. Para medir la adicción al Facebook se utilizó la Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale (BFAS) y el cuestionario Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) como medida de contraste (r=.60) que representa el 36% de influencia de una variable sobre la otra. La estructura interna fue determinada bajo el análisis factorial confirmatorio (AFC) que replico la unidimensionalidad (CFI=.994, RMSEA=.061). Además fue evaluada la equivalencia de medición mediante modelos de análisis factorial multigrupo (AFC-MG) donde se comprobó diferentes niveles de invarianza según sexo, edad y afectación académica. Fue corroborado el uso pertinente del coeficiente alfa de Cronbach mediante la implementación de restricciones en modelos confirmatorios para evaluar tau-equivalencia y medidas paralelas, donde obtuvo resultados adecuados de α=.84. Esta versión en español del BFAS brinda evidencias de validez y fiabilidad, que son útiles para la investigación debida su necesidad de inclusión en baterías que evalúen adicciones a redes sociales.Palabras clave: adicción, equivalencia de medición, facebook, fiabilidad, análisis factorialAbstractThe impact of social networks on daily life has become complex in establishing limits between normal and pathological use that could lead to an addictive disorder. The objective of this study was to provide evidence of validity and reliability of the BFAS scale in the population of university students. The evaluation of the evidences of validity and reliability was carried out in a sample of 510 university students. The average age of the participants was 20.74 years (DE age = 2.57), 54.1% were women, there were slight differences at the group level (sex) but not at the practical significance level d = .18. To measure Facebook addiction, the Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale (BFAS) and the Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) questionnaire were used as a measure of contrast (r = .60), the level of influence of one variable over the other found was of 36% The internal structure was determined under the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) that replicated the one-dimensionality (CFI = .994, RMSEA = .061). In addition, the equivalence of measurement was evaluated using multigroup factor analysis models (CFA-MG) where different levels of invariance were found according to sex. The relevant use of the Cronbach alpha coefficient was corroborated by the implementation of restrictions in confirmatory models to evaluate tau-equivalence and parallel measures, where it obtained an optimal results of α = .84. This version on spanish of the BFAS provides evidence of validity and reliability, which are useful for research due to its need to be included in batteries that assess addictions to social networks.Key words: addiction, equivalence measurement, Facebook, reliability, factor analysis
