Full description

Smartphone Impact Scale (SIS) was originally developed in English to determine the cognitive, affective, social, and behavioral impacts of smartphones in everyday life. The purpose of this study was to translate and cross-culturally adapt the SIS instrument into Turkish and investigate its psychometric properties. Two hundred healthy young adults will include. For cross-cultural adaptation, two bi-lingual translators used the back-translation procedure. Within a 5-to-7-day period after the first assessment, the participants completed the Turkish version of SIS (SIS-T) to evaluate test-retest reliability. Cronbach's alpha (α) was used to assess internal consistency. The correlations with the Turkish version of the Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS-T) and Turkish version of the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP-T) will determine to check the validity.
