Evaluation of psychometric properties and measurement invariance across gender in Tamil-speaking adolescents.

A valid and reliable Tamil version of the Smartphone Addiction Scale was developed for adolescents, addressing a significant public health issue.
Internal consistency of the SAS-SV-T was confirmed with a Cronbach’s α of 0.83, indicating strong reliability for the measuring tool.
Confirmatory factor analysis showed standardized factor loadings between 0.49 to 0.61, supporting the scale's unidimensional structure.
Measurement invariance across genders was established, allowing its effective application in both research and clinical settings.

Anbumalar et al. (2025) studied this question.
