Palabras clave: Tecnoferencia, Relaciones de pareja, Propiedades psicométricas, Validación en español

Resumen

Antecedentes: La tecnoferencia se refiere a las interrupciones provocadas por los dispositivos tecnológicos durante las interacciones entre personas. Aunque este fenómeno está muy extendido, no se dispone de instrumentos validados en español. La Technology Device Interference Scale (TDIS) y la Technology Interference in Life Examples Scale (TILES) evalúan la tecnoferencia en las relaciones de pareja. Métodos: Estudio observacional para evaluar sus propiedades psicométricas. 997 adultos españoles con relaciones de pareja estables completaron ambas escalas (TDIS, TILES) y la Escala de Ajuste Diádico (DAS). Resultados: el TDIS y el TILES mostraron una consistencia interna satisfactoria (α = .73 a .91). Se confirmó su estructura unidimensional, mediante un análisis de la invarianza que apoya su uso en diferentes muestras de edad y sexo. El análisis del TDIS reveló diferencias significativas en relación con la edad y el sexo de los participantes; sin embargo, en el caso del TILES, estas diferencias se limitaron únicamente a la edad. Se calcularon los percentiles de la puntuación total. Los niveles más altos de tecnoferencia se asociaron a una menor calidad de la relación de pareja. Conclusiones: El TDIS y el TILES son instrumentos válidos y fiables que pueden medir eficazmente el impacto de la tecnoferencia en las relaciones de pareja en población hispanohablante.
