Abstract
The investigation of the behavior of addiction to ICTs and especially the mobile among youth has developed remarkably (Cuesta, Ugarte and Gaspar, 2012a y 2012b). This behavior is complex and is rooted in the daily habits of the subjects, sharing common features with the addition without substance use, pleasure, social and professional behavior. This has led us to propose the construct enveloping use. This study examines the construct, with the aim of developing a theoretical model for understanding the behavior to properly evaluate and develop intervention programs. Finally we analyze aspects of reliability and validity using qualitative techniques by developing focus group and quantitative applying the questionnaire, called SAMRTPHONE SCREENING TEST FOR ENVELOPING USE (S-SUE).Downloads
