Resumen

Objective: The aim of this study was to confirm the structure of the Social Media Burnout Scale (SMBS) in the Brazilian context.


Method: This is a psychometric study of a quantitative approach. Participants were 419 individuals from the general population, mostly college students, aged between 18 and 57 years (M =24,77; SD =6,75). Participants also answered a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Social Media Burnout Scale, and the Burnout Syndrome Assessment Scale in University Students (BSAS-us). Data were analyzed using the software JASP.


Results: The results showed that the three-factor model of the SMBS had satisfactory fit indices in the Brazilian sample (χ²=77,75, df=32, CFI =0,97, TLI=0,97, RMSEA=0,05, 95%CI=0,04-0,07, SRMR=0,06). In addition, the three factors presented acceptable McDonald’s Omegas. Finally, the factor Exhaustion from the SMBS and Physical and the factor Emotional Exhaustion from the BSAS-us were correlated with r=0,32 (p<0,001), demonstrating convergent validity.

 

Discussion: The measure with the Portuguese name Escala de Burnout de Redes Sociais (EBRS) is the first valid and reliable measure to study the phenomenon in the Brazilian context.
