Summary
Researchers developed a Short Video Addiction Scale for middle school students. This reliable and valid 15-item scale helps identify adolescent addiction to short videos.
Area of Science:
- Psychology
- Adolescent Health
- Digital Media Studies
Background:
- Short video platforms are increasingly popular among adolescents.
- Concerns about potential addiction and its impact on young users are growing.
- There is a need for validated tools to assess short video addiction in this demographic.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and validate a reliable scale for measuring short video addiction.
- To create a tool specifically for middle school students.
- To provide a means for identifying and addressing adolescent short video addiction.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative interviews to generate initial scale items.
- Psychometric analyses, including Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analyses.
- A sample of 1492 middle school students participated in the study.
Main Results:
- A 15-item Short Video Addiction Scale was developed.
- The scale comprises five factors: Academic Procrastination, Interpersonal Strain, Social Communication Difficulties, Attention Concentration Difficulties, and Impaired Control over Short Video Use.
- The scale demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.900), test-retest reliability, and strong validity.
Conclusions:
- The Short Video Addiction Scale is a psychometrically sound instrument.
- It is reliable and valid for assessing short video addiction in middle school students.
- The scale can be a valuable tool for researchers and clinicians addressing adolescent digital behavior.

When the quality of water for concrete preparation is uncertain, its impact on the setting time of cement and compressive strength of mortar is assessed by comparison with de-ionized or distilled water benchmarks. American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) C1602 requires the setting times to be within 90 minutes of the control, British Standard (BS) 3146:1980 allows a 30-minute variance in the initial setting, while British Standards European Norm (BS EN) 1008 specifies initial setting...

1.7K
The slump test is a widely used method to measure the workability of concrete. It employs a 12-inch high truncated cone mold that tapers from eight inches at the base to four inches at the top. Before testing, the mold is securely attached to a flat base and dampened.
Concrete is poured into the mold in three layers to conduct the test. Each layer is compacted 25 times with a steel tamping rod, which has a five-eighths-inch diameter and a rounded end, to ensure even distribution and eliminate...

The Vebe test is a method used to measure the workability of concrete, particularly effective for dry concrete mixes. This test employs a specific apparatus that includes a cylindrical chamber, a standard slump cone, and a transparent disc-shaped rider, all mounted on a vibrating table. The cylindrical chamber has dimensions of nine and a half inches in diameter and eight inches in height.
To conduct the test, concrete is placed into the slump cone. The concrete is filled in layers and...

Student's t-test in Microsoft Excel is a statistical method used to compare the means of two groups to determine if they are significantly different from each other. It's commonly used to evaluate hypotheses, such as testing whether a treatment has an effect compared to a control group. Excel provides built-in functions to perform t-tests, making it accessible for users needing to conduct basic statistical analysis.
