AB - This study examined the criterion-related validity and temporal stability of the Affective Domain of Digital Literacy Scale (ADLS) using a three-wave longitudinal design, with metacognitive self-regulation serving as an external criterion. A total of 157 fifth-grade students completed the ADLS and a metacognitive self-regulation measure at three time points: pretest (April), midpoint (September), and posttest (December). Data were analyzed using Pearson correlations, cross-time correlations, and mixed-design repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA).The ADLS total score demonstrated significant positive correlations with metacognitive self-regulation across all three time points (r = .599 - .641). The magnitude of these correlations showed no significant differences over time, indicating consistent criterion-related validity. Regarding temporal stability (test-retest reliability), the ADLS total score and the Self-Efficacy subfactor exhibited adequate stability, whereas the Value Perception subfactor showed relatively lower stability. Furthermore, repeated-measures ANOVA revealed that ADLS scores increased significantly from the pretest to the midpoint and remained stable thereafter. In contrast, metacognitive self-regulation showed no significant changes over the same period.These findings provide empirical evidence for the criterion-related validity and temporal stability of the ADLS, supporting its utility as a reliable repeated-measurement tool.
