Introducción: El uso de la tecnología se ha posicionado como una herramienta indispensable en la actualidad en ámbitos laborales, escolares y hasta las interacciones sociales. Con ello el involucramiento con las tecnológicas permiten desempeñarnos con mayor productividad y eficiencia, sin embargo, un uso desadaptativo puede propiciar diversas afecciones que inciden en la salud y relaciones de los usuarios.
Objetivo: Se diseñó una escala para medir tecnodependencia en las personas, conformada por 5 factores que fueron nombrados como Phubbing, Generación Muda, Uso de la Tecnología al Conducir, Uso compulsivo del Celular y la Vida en Redes Sociales.
Método: Estudio cuantitativo, transversal, con diseño no experimental y muestreo no probabilístico, que contó con 1.026 participantes, de los cuales el 63% correspondían a hombres. Se utilizó la Escala de Tecnodependencia elaborada por los autores para el presente estudio, conformada por un total de 15 reactivos divididos en 5 factores (Uso del celular al conducir, Vida en redes sociales, Generación Muda, Uso compulsivo del celular y Phubbing), además de las variables sociodemográficas, con un índice de confiabilidad de 0.83.
Resultados: Se encontró correlación estadísticamente significativa entre los cinco factores que definen la escala, con un 59.23% de la varianza explicada, un índice de confiabilidad a través del Alfa de Cronbach =0.83 y con un buen ajuste (chi-cuadrada= 245.957; GI= 136; CMIN/DF= 3.23; p=.000; CFI=.972; y RMSE=.047).
Conclusiones: Los hallazgos sugieren que la escala cuenta con propiedades psicométricas adecuadas para medir tecnodependencia en población mexicana. Con esta investigación se aporta una escala con la que se pretende estimular la investigación sobre esta variable en el país y que en un mediano plazo permitirá entender su etiología, estudiar la relación que mantiene con otros factores de riesgo psicosocial y diseñar programas de prevención e intervención con el fin de mejorar la relación de los usuarios, con las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación, creando a su vez espacios de uso saludables.
Introduction: The use of technology has positioned as an indispensable tool in the nowadays of the labor, scholar, and even social spheres. With that, the involving with the technologies allows us to perform with higher productivity and efficiency. However, a disadaptative use can promote diverse conditions that influence in the health and social relations of the users.
Objective: It was designed a scale for the measure of technology dependence in people, integrated by five factors that were named Phubbing, Generation Mute, Use of technology while driving, Compulsive use of cellphone, and Life on social media.
Method: 1026 subjects participated, of which 63% were males. Quantitative, cross-sectional study, with non-experimental design and non-probability sampling, that had 1,026 participants, of which 63% were men. The Technodependence Scale developed by the authors for the present study was used, made up of a total of 15 items divided into 5 factors (Cell phone use when driving, Life in social networks, Mute Generation, Compulsive cell phone use and Phubbing), in addition to sociodemographic variables, with a reliability index of 0.83.
Results: It was found statistically significant correlation between the five factors that define the scale, with a 59.23% of the explained variance, reliability index through Cronbach’s alpha =0.83, and a good adjustment (chi-square= 245.957; GI= 136; CMIN/DF= 3.23; p=.000; CFI= .972; and RMSE=.047).
Conclusions: The findings suggest that the scale has adequate psychometric properties to measure technodependence in the Mexican population. This research provides a scale with which it is intended to stimulate the research on this variable in the country and that in the medium term will allow understanding its etiology, studying its relationship with other psychosocial risk factors and designing prevention and intervention programs in order to improve the relationship of users, with Information and Communication Technologies, creating in turn healthy spaces for use.

Conclusions: This suggest that the scale possesses the necessary psychometric properties, and is apt for the measure of technology dependence on Mexican population.
