Full description

Parental Smartphone Use Management Scale (PSUMS) was originally developed in English language to parents to educate adolescents and communicate with them about online behavior and safety, as well as to conduct plans to manage adolescents' internet and smartphone use. The purpose of this study was to translate and cross-culturally adapt the PSUMS. The study will include adults who have been using smartphones for at least the past month and have children aged 11-18. For cross-cultural adaptation, two bi-lingual translators used the back-translation procedure. Within a 5-to-7 day period after first assessment, the participants completed the Turkish version of the Parental Smartphone Use Management Scale (PSUMS) to evaluate test-retest reliability. Cronbach's alpha (α) was used to assess internal consistency. The correlations with the Turkish version of The Smart Phone Addiction Scale-Short Form for Adolescent and the Turkish version of PedsQL in Adolescents 13-18 years old will determine to check the validity.
