The usage of digital devices has increased rapidly in recent times due to the expansion of online learning platforms, leading to greater reliance on them. As a result, people forget simple information, dates, and appointments that might lead to digital amnesia. Hence, we aimed to develop and validate a digital amnesia scale (DAS). The study was carried out in two studies. In the first study, we collected data from 616 college students to examine the factor structure of the model and its underlying dimensions for a large pool of items. These analyses showed that the scale formed a three-dimensional structure: digital distraction, digital dependency, and digital detox. In the second study, we collected data from 383 college students to confirm the three-factor structure of the DAS. A satisfactory level of reliability was demonstrated by McDonald’s ω value for the dimensions. The test–retest reliability was found to be 0.76. The DAS had satisfactory convergent and discriminant validity. This scale could be useful for both researchers and educators to assess digital amnesia among college students.

近年来，由于在线学习平台的扩张，数字设备的使用迅速增加，导致人们对它们的依赖更大。结果，人们忘记了可能导致数字失忆症的简单信息、日期和约会。因此，我们的目标是开发并验证数字健忘症量表（DAS）。该研究分两项研究进行。在第一项研究中，我们收集了 616 名大学生的数据，以检查模型的因子结构及其大量项目的基本维度。这些分析表明，该量表形成了三维结构：数字干扰、数字依赖和数字戒毒。在第二项研究中，我们收集了 383 名大学生的数据来确认 DAS 的三因素结构。McDonald 的尺寸 ω 值证明了令人满意的可靠性水平。重测信度为 0.76。DAS 具有令人满意的收敛效度和判别效度。该量表对于研究人员和教育工作者评估大学生的数字健忘症可能有用。
