abstract = {Despite the importance of Internet risk perception, no instrument currently exists that
measures this awareness in the Spanish population. The goal of this study was to provide information
on studies of the validity and reliability of the Internet Risk Perception (IRP) Scale for adult Spanish
citizens. We began with a literature review and validation using a mixed panel with 20 participants.
We analyzed the degree to which the subjects agreed or disagreed with the criteria evaluated,
including contributions for improving the instrument, and performed a pilot test with 517 adults
aged 18 to 77. Construct reliability and validity were analyzed using various statistical analyses. The
results from the confirmatory factor analysis showed a sufficient accuracy of the data with parameters
that indicated an excellent fit for all items. The Spanish version of the scale for adults is a reliable and
valid instrument for use in studies that investigate Internet risk perception in people over 18 years
of age.},
