ABSTRACT = {<b>Objectives:</b> Problematic use of the internet (PUI) has been increasingly associated with various mental health issues, highlighting the need for accurate assessment tools. The Assessment of Criteria for Specific Internet-use Disorder (ACSID-11) is a validated psychometric instrument designed to measure distinct forms of PUI across multiple online activities. However, its applicability and validity have not yet been established within the Indonesian context. Therefore, this study aimed to translate and validate the ACSID-11 for use among Indonesian populations. <b>Methods:</b> The translation procedure of the ACSID-11 involved forward translation, back translation, and expert panel discussions. This research involved 600 undergraduate and post-graduate students from universities in Indonesia (mean [SD] age = 21.60 [2.74] years; 409 [68%] females). Cronbach’s Alpha (α) and McDonald’s Omega (ω) were used to measure the internal consistency of the ACSID-11. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used in testing the construct validity of the ACSID-11. <b>Results:</b> The ACSID-11 demonstrated validity and reliability in assessing different types of PUI in the present Indonesian sample (α = 0.67–0.96; ω = 0.68–0.96). The CFA results supported a four-factor structure for the Indonesian version of the ACSID-11. <b>Conclusion:</b> The findings suggest that the Indonesian version of the ACSID-11 is a valid and reliable tool for assessing specific forms of PUI among Indonesian students. Future research and clinical applications are encouraged to utilize the ACSID-11 for early identification, intervention, and prevention strategies targeting PUI within this population.},
