摘要
There is a global adoption of digital technology in every aspect of human endeavor. The surge in the use of digital devices is so high that different forms of e-learning platforms have emerged. Researchers globally are validating the concept of digital natives and how it influences lives. Our study was to validate the Digital Native Assessment Scale in a Nigerian sample, also measuring the invariance across gender. We used a sample of 1106 secondary school students (50.8% males, 49.2% females; mean age of 17.76 years, and SD age = 2.23). Our findings showed that the digital native assessment scale is a reliable and valid measure. The result also found that the multi-group confirmatory factor analysis supported full measurement invariance across gender. © Associação Brasileira de Psicologia 2023.
