Abstract(s)
As dependências Online têm sido descritas como um fenómeno decorrente da
sistemática utilização às sofisticadas tecnologias de informação e comunicação actuais.
O presente estudo teve como principal objectivo a construção e validação de uma nova
escala com base num modelo construído sobre a Percepção de Tempo de Utilização
Online (PTUO). Pretendeu-se compreender a relação entre este novo instrumento de
medida e a adição à Internet. Bem como a associação entre os cinco traços de
personalidade e a escala PTUO. Participaram 1106 sujeitos de nacionalidade portuguesa
(F= 548; M= 558), entre os 11 e os 80 anos (M= 31.8; DP= 14.4). Os resultados obtidos
nesta amostra, revelaram que a nova escala PTUO apresenta uma estrutura unifactorial
com qualidades métricas satisfatórias. A análise confirmatória demonstrou índices de
ajustamento aceitáveis com a solução a um factor. Tendo sido verificado uma fiabilidade
compósita de .91 e um α= .92. Demonstrou-se que a escala apresenta uma correlação
positiva com a dependência Online e que está associada positiva e negativamente a alguns
traços da personalidade. Concluiu-se que a PTUO poderá ser um factor relevante e com
utilidade prática para compreender a emergência das dependências de comportamento
associadas à utilização das TIC’s.
Online dependencies have been described as a phenomenon arising from the systematic use of sophisticated Information and Communication Technologies (ICT’s). The main objective of the present study is the construction and validation of a new scale based on a model built on Online Time Perception (POUT). The study purported to understand the relationship between this new instrument of measure and Internet addiction. As well as the level of association between the five identified personality traits and the new scale POUT. A total of 1106 subjects of portuguese nationality (F = 549, M = 558), aged 11 to 80 years (M = 31.8; SD = 14.4) participated. The results obtained in this sample, revealed that the new scale POUT presents a unifactorial structure with satisfactory metric qualities. Further confirmatory analysis demonstrated acceptable adjustment index levels with the one-factor solution. A composite reliability of .91 and α = .92 were identified. The analysis demonstrated that the scale sets a positive correlation with Online dependence and that such is positively and negatively associated with some personality traits. It was concluded that the POUT may be a relevant and practical factor to understand the emergence of behavior dependencies which are associated with the use of ICT’s.
