Abstract

The Affinity for Technology Interaction (ATI) scale has been widely used to assess the tendency to engage in technology. To enhance the scale’s applicability and facilitate cross-cultural research, it is essential to provide translations of the scale. A Chinese translation is still missing. Additionally, a validation is necessary as culture can affect the psychometrics of questionnaires, bearing the danger of applying inadequate measures. The aims of the present study are therefore providing a Chinese translation of the ATI scale and presenting non-parametric and parametric psychometric analyses of the translated version to examine the underlying factor structure. In contrast to the original scale, analyses of the Chinese version suggest a two-dimensional structure with one dimension describing a passive interest in technology and another describing an active engagement with technology. The findings enable researchers to use the scale in Chinese-speaking populations and thereby advancing the understanding of human-technology interaction across different cultures.
