Validation of the arabic multidimensional facebook intensity scale and its relationships with life satisfaction, happiness, and physical activity
The A-MFIS is a reliable and valid tool for assessing Facebook use intensity in Arabic-speaking contexts. It can facilitate future research, clinical assessments, and interventions aimed at improving digital well-being. Future studies should explore its applicability in other Arab cultures and longitudinal settings. This validated instrument provides researchers and practitioners in Arabic-speaking populations with a culturally appropriate tool to assess Facebook usage intensity, enabling future research and interventions on digital well-being.
