| description | Background and aimsInternet behaviors, like social networking, dating apps, or online pornography, may develop into disorders due to their addictive potential, aligning with other specific Internet-use disorders in ICD-11. This study aimed to validate the Assessment of Criteria for Specific Internet-use Disorders (ACSID-11) for Tinder and online pornography use in English-speaking respondents.MethodsThe ACSID-11 was administered to active Tinder and pornography users fluent in English (N = 1823) alongside the Problematic Tinder Use Scale (PTUS), Short Problematic Pornography Consumption Scale (PPCS-6), and Sexual Desire Inventory-2 (SDI-2). Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) examined ACSID-11’s factor structure, and correlation analyses assessed its convergent validity. The eight-factor structure was confirmed and was superior to other tested solutions both for Tinder and online pornography use. ACSID-11 scores correlated with the PTUS, PPCS-6, and SDI-2.Discussion and ConclusionsThe ACSID-11 is a suitable tool for testing other specified disorders due to addictive behaviors such as Tinder and online pornography-use disorders, based on ICD-11 diagnostic criteria, valuable in assisting with a detailed clinical diagnosis. Moreover, the tool is also valid for English-speaking respondents |
