Abstract

Background and Objectives: The widespread use of the Internet has created new issues in the field of psychological studies. One of these emerging constructs is Internet anxiety. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the construct validity of the Internet anxiety Scale in students. Methods: In a descriptive, Validation study, 206 and 289 students from Farhangian University Branches of Mashhad were selected through multi-stage sampling and completed the Internet anxiety Scale and Internet Selfefficacy scale, respectively. Internal consistency, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, criterion and constructive validity were evaluated using SPSS. 25 and AMOS. 24 software. Results: The results showed that the scale had a two-Factor structure with an explained variance of 55. 82%. Confirmatory factor analysis was confirmed. The scale had good construct reliability. The divergent validity confirmed in relation to Internet self-efficacy (P<0. 01). There was no significant difference in age (P>0. 05). Gender differences were significant for fear of negative evaluation (F=6. 53, P<0. 01) and Internet anxiety score (F=7. 22, P<0. 01), and girls had higher mean scores. Differences were significant according to field (P <0. 01) and Science and Foreign Language students had the lowest and the highest mean score, respectively (21. 37 and 27. 05). Conclusion: It seems that the Internet anxiety Scale has a good reliability and validity in students.
