Abstract
This study develops and validates a Youth Social Media Literacy Inventory (YSMLI) to objectively measure social media knowledge and skills among young adolescents aged 9–13. It identifies key literacy competencies across six domains, including advertising, cyberbullying, privacy, news, phishing, and media balance. It produces a reliable and flexible 90-item assessment tool.
