SUMMARY:

Dependence on digital devices such as computers and smartphones negatively affect psychological, physical, and social well-being. In order to assess this phenomenon, understand the relationship with other contextual and individual variables, develop better-targeted prevention and intervention strategies, the development of measurement instruments for this purpose becomes necessary. Thus, the present project has as main purposes to perform the cross-cultural adaptation of a scale to evaluate digital addiction, namely, the Digital Addiction Scale (DAS) and to verify the relationship between the dimensions of DAS with contextual and individual variables. For aim 1, the DAS will go through a process of translation, adjustment of items, cognitive or intelligibility study of the items (pilot) and back-translation with evaluation by the original author. For aim 2 the following instruments will be used for data collection: Sociodemographic questionnaire, Digital Addiction Scale (DAS), The Nine-Item Problematic Internet Use Questionnaire (PIUQ-9), Big Five Inventory-Short Form (BFI-SF), Brief Self-Control Scale (BSCS), Barratt Impulsivity Scale (BIS-11). The sample will be of non-probability and convenience type, consisting of participants aged 18 years or older, college students, of both genders. The research will be carried out using virtual forms and/or printed material (traditional method), for individual or collective applications. The data will be treated using uni, bi- and multivariate analyses. It is expected that the DAS presents good psychometric properties for the Brazilian context and relates to the other variables of interest in this research.
