Results: The item difficulties of all items ranged from 0.2 to 0.7. The discriminations of 70.18% items were good. Factor analyses divided scales into five factors, which were energy of devotion, emotion of devotion, behavior of aggression, emotion of aggression and attitude of aggression. The reliabilities of the subscales and full scale ranged from 0.70 to 0.92. The scores of subscales were significantly positively related with Internet addiction.
