Rp-Excessive use of technology and its relationship to family disintegration among high school students .pdf

The current research aims to reveal:
1. Excessive use of technology among the research sample.
2. Family disintegration among the research sample.
3. The correlation between excessive use of technology and family disintegration.
4. Differences in the correlation between excessive use of technology and family disintegration according to the gender variable.
5. The percentage of contribution of excessive use of technology to family disintegration.
To achieve the research objectives, the researcher constructed two scales. The first, to measure excessive use of technology, consisted of (26) items with five alternatives in its initial form. After presenting it to referees specialized in psychology and measurement and evaluation, all items were retained.
The second, to measure family disintegration, consisted of (28) items with five alternatives in its initial form. After verifying the apparent validity and validity of the items by presenting them to (21) referees specialized in educational and psychological sciences, one item was excluded, leaving the final form of the scale consisting of (27) items. To extract the psychometric properties of the two scales, the researcher applied them to a sample of (400) male and female students. After completing the application, the researcher extracted validity indicators using three methods:
1- Internal consistency.
2- Discriminative power (two extreme groups).
No item from the two scales was deleted from the current research.
Reliability was verified by the Cronbach’s alpha method. Using this method, it became clear that the reliability coefficient for the excessive use of technology scale was (0.89) and the family disintegration scale was (0.85).
These are very good reliability coefficients based on the standards set by measurement and evaluation experts. After verifying the validity and reliability of the two scales, the researcher applied them to her research sample. She then analyzed the data statistically using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS ver. 26). She reached several important conclusions, the most important of which are:
1. High school students do not exhibit excessive use of technology, which represents a positive indicator.
2. High school students do not exhibit family disintegration, which is evidence of social cohesion among family members.
3. There is a correlation between excessive use of technology and family disintegration.
4. The relationship between excessive use of technology and family disintegration is not affected by gender or academic specialization.
5. Excessive use of technology contributes to family disintegration.
