PERAZA-BALDERRAMA, José Néstor; VALDES-CUERVO, Ángel Alberto; PARRA-PEREZ, Lizeth Guadalupe y URIAS-MURRIETA, Maricela. Multidimensional Scale to Assess Digital Security in Adolescents. REDIE [online]. 2024, vol.26, e06. Epub 31-Mayo-2024. ISSN 1607-4041. https://doi.org/10.24320/redie.2024.26.e06.5992.
The study examined the psychometric properties of a Digital Security Scale (DSS-A) in a sample of 868 adolescents (460 female, 408 male), made up of 424 early adolescents (Mage = 11.84 years,SD= 0.36) and 444 middle adolescents (Mage = 13.44,SD= 0.49). The sample was randomly split into two for validation (n= 434) and cross-validation (n= 434) purposes. The results confirmed the fit of a one second-order factor model with four first-order factors (personal data protection, safe relationships, healthy internet use, and self-disclosure). As expected, digital security dimensions were positively associated with parental mediation. Measurement invariance was found in this model by gender and stage of adolescence. Latent mean comparisons showed differences by gender and stage of adolescence. Overall, findings indicate that the measurement model is helpful for measuring adolescents’ digital security behaviors.
