... V rámci kontrolovaného užívání se vedle stanovení si časových limitů doporučuje přerušení dosavadních vzorců závislostního chování (Vondráčková et al., 2023). Dle odborných zdrojů (Hall & Parsons, 2001;Young, 2007) je primární nutností praktikovat odlišnou strukturu dne než je ta, která byla zmapována, s cílem omezit aktivitu na digitálních technologiích. Stanovení cílů spočívá v tom, že terapeut pomáhá stanovit přesný počet hodin a přesné časy, které bude klient trávit na internetu. ...
... Youngová (2007) dále doporučuje podrobné zmapování zanedbávaných činností, které se v souvislosti se závislostním chování na internetu u klienta vyskytují. Účelem je znovu obnovit ty činnosti, které jsou pro klienta zdrojem příjemných pocitů a které nahradí ztracené příjemné zážitky spojené s dosavadním používáním internetu (Hall & Parsons, 2001). ...

... Within the Malaysian context, Internet Users Survey of Malaysia (Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission, 2018) testified that the highest age group distribution of Internet users in Malaysia is 20-24 years old across from year 2014 till 2018. On PIU statistics, approximately 63.3% of private university students were identified as excessive Internet users (Haghighi et al., 2011), whereas 2.6% of public university students were found to be Internet-dependent (Hasmida et al., 2011). An existing report revealed that 43% of college students were identified to have PIU due to their excessive Internet abuse behaviour (Ng et al., 2012), which were counterproductive to their lives. ...
... This finding revealed similar results for undergraduates in Malaysia, compared with students in Chiang Mai, Thailand (Wanajak, 2011). Results from this study were similar with previous studies in Malaysia where a considerable amount of time was spent by university students surfing the Internet too (Khan & Magdalene, 2016;Salehi et al., 2014;Nurhilyana et al., 2013;Haghighi et al. 2011;Hasmida et al., 2011). Teong and Ang (2016) also informed that excessive participation in interactive functions on the Internet have higher association with Internet addiction. ...
... Today, different terms are used for defining Internet addiction, which is considered a behavioral addiction although this classification is still debatable. Among these terms are Internet addiction (Chou & Hsiao, 2000;Goldberg, 1996;Nalwa & Anand, 2003;Young, 1998), pathological Internet use (Lei & Wu, 2007;Morahan-Martin & Schumacher, 2000), problematic Internet use (Beard & Wolf, 2001;Ceyhan & Ceyhan, 2008;Davis, Flett, & Besser, 2002;Odacı & Kalkan, 2010;Shapira et al., 2000) and Internet behavior dependence (Hall & Parsons, 2001). Goldberg (1996), who used the term "Internet addiction" for the first time, adopted drug addiction diagnosis criteria to Internet addiction. ...
... The effect of gender variable on Internet addiction has been examined in many studies. Some of these studies revealed that Internet addiction does not differ according to gender (Aslan & Yazici, 2016;Bayraktar & Gun, 2007;Carbonell et al., 2012;Ceyhan, Ceyhan, & Kurtyılmaz, 2009;Dikmen & Tuncer, 2018;Hall & Parsons, 2001;Korkmaz, 2008;Oguz et al., 2008;Ozdemir, 2016;Pawlak, 2002;Tekin et al., 2018;Terzioglu, 2017;Truzoli et al., 2016;Turan, 2015;Yucelten, 2016) while some studies found higher levels of Internet addiction for males than females (Anand et al., 2018;Ancel et al., 2015;Bakken et al., 2009;Balcı & Gulnar, 2009;Can & Zeren, 2019;Ceyhan, 2016;Clark et al., 2004;Dalbudak et al., 2013;Durak-Batıgun & Kilic, 2011;Durmus et al., 2018;Gunay et al., 2018;Issever 2016;Kabakli-Cimen, 2018;Karaca, 2017;Kim et al., 2006;Mottram & Fleming, 2009;Servidio, 2017;Tutgun, 2009;Wang, 2001;Yarasir, 2018;Yen et al., 2019). Still other studies concluded that females have higher levels of Internet addiction (Ates, 2016;Baysan-Arslan et al., 2016;Sahin, 2014;Sahin et al., 2016;Yildiz, 2014). ...
With the rapid increase of technological developments day by day, the Internet has gained an important place in the lives of individuals. The Internet, as being a tool that people need access almost every moment and anywhere in daily life, has become the most powerful one among the communication tools, surpassing the influence of television, radio and written media with its services in the century we live in. Fulfilling the needs such as online shopping, chat, bill payment, getting cinema or theatre ticket, and psychological help services in the virtual environment are some of the factors that explains the increase in the Internet useage. These online activities are seen affinity sources especially fort he digital youth born into technology. In addition to this individuals' tendency towards activities such as fun gambling, chatting and networking are clearly seen in the Internet environment, and these causes the use of the Internet, which is already very attractive, to turn into addiction. Addiction is defined as a controlling problem which experienced by people who have difficulty dealing with problems and who have a high impulsive tendency. This study aims to explore the role of Internet affinity and learned resourcefulness in predicting Internet addiction levels of university students. The sampling of the study consists of 229 woman and 221 man, totally 441 students attending a state university in Istanbul. The data were collected through Young's Internet Addiction Test-Short Form, Internet Affinity Scale, Rosenbaum’s Learned Resourcefulness Scale and Personal Information. Multiple linear regression analysis was used in the analysis of the data. According to the the results; university students’ Internet addiction positively correlates with Internet affinity but negatively with learned resourcefulness. In addition, Internet affinity and learned resourcefulness predict Internet addiction.
... Gadget addiction is an important contributing factor in nearly 50% of all relationship and family problems (8). It also has a physical impact, like severe headaches, carpal tunnel syndrome, eating disorders, and sleeping problems (9). Addiction can be defined as a process in which a behaviour, serving both to elicit pleasure and to alleviate internal discomfort, is repeatedly engaged in a pattern marked by an inability to control the behaviour (powerlessness) and its persistence despite the occurrence of significant adverse consequences (unmanageability) (10). ...
Background: Prakriti plays an important role in the maintenance of a person`s health. It also influences the life style and choices of a person. Any type of addiction is related to choosing the unwholesome thing over the wrong; hence, it is necessary to study the correlation between gadget addiction and Prakriti. Objectives: This study aims to investigate the correlation between gadget addiction and various Prakriti types among children, shedding light on potential connections between Manas Prakriti and the prevalence of gadget addiction in this demography. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted on 200 school-going children using Young’s internet addiction test scale and Prakriti examination with the Ayusoft software. Statistical analysis, including t-tests, was employed to assess the correlation between gadget addiction and different Prakriti types. Result: The examination of participants' Prakriti revealed that 52% exhibited Rajas Prakriti, 37.5% displayed Tamas Prakriti, and 10.5% showed Satvik Prakriti. The statistical analysis demonstrated a robust t-value of 22.79 and a highly significant p-value (<0.01), indicating a strong and statistically significant correlation between gadget addiction and Manas Prakriti among the studied children.Conclusion: The findings suggest a compelling association between gadget addiction and specific Prakriti types, particularly Manas Prakriti. This insight contributes to our understanding of the intricate relationship between mental constitution and technology-related behaviors in children. Further research exploring the nuanced aspects of this correlation could inform targeted interventions and preventive measures for gadget addiction among children.
... Hall and Parsons put forward the concept of Internet Behavior Dependence (IBD) by highlighting that poor cognition may lead to dependent behavior [11]. In this context, Internet addiction can be intervened and corrected through cognitive behavior [12]. The lack of a unified definition makes it difficult to compare and synthesize the identification and diagnosis of Internet addiction. ...
Purpose: The article aims to explore the nature and characteristics of minors' Internet addiction behavior, and analyze the comprehensive factors as well as the diverse effects based on the deviant behavior theory. The deviant behavior theory, integrating misconduct with sociocultural concepts, social values, and norms, can provide new insight into the existing theoretical research on this issue.
... According to the diagnostic criteria of pathological gambling in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition (DSM-IV), Young defined IA as an impulsive control disorder characterized by an inability to inhibit internet surfing drives that damages major life domains and social functions [1]. Because of the topic's complex nature, related terms such as "internet behavior dependence" [2] and "pathological internet use" [3] are usually regarded as synonyms for IA. ...
Background
With the advent of the new media era, the understanding of adolescent internet addiction needs to be enriched. It is also necessary to distinguish the related factors of adolescent internet addiction at different levels to clarify the mechanisms of this phenomenon.
Methods
This study used hierarchical linear model analysis to explore the effects of student-level factors and school-level factors on adolescent internet addiction, along with cross-level moderating effects. A total of 1,912 students between the 4th and 8th grades in China participated in the study. Participants completed the Self-Esteem Scale, Parents Phubbing Scale, Classroom Environment Scale, and the Diagnostic Questionnaire of Internet Addiction.
Results
Correlational analyses revealed that internet addiction was found to be negatively correlated with both self-esteem and the teacher-student relationship (p < 0.01), while father phubbing, mother phubbing, and learning burden were shown to positively correlate with internet addiction (p < 0.01). Hierarchical linear model analysis suggested that student-level variables, including self-esteem, and mother phubbing, were significant predictors of internet addiction (β = −0.077, p < 0.001 and β = 0.028, p < 0.01, respectively). At the school level, learning burden significantly and negatively predicted internet addiction (β = 0.073, p < 0.05). Furthermore, the relationship between self-esteem and internet addiction was significantly moderated by learning burden (β = −0.007, p < 0.05). Meanwhile, the teacher-student relationship also had a significant moderating effect on the association between mother phubbing and internet addiction (β = −0.005, p < 0.01).
Conclusions
This study revealed the relationships between self-esteem, parental phubbing, and classroom environment with adolescent internet addiction, and these findings could provide insights into reducing adolescent internet addiction from the perspective of individuals, families, and schools.
... The concept of Internet addiction was first proposed by Goldberg, sometimes known as mobile phone dependence, pathological network use, nomophobia, etc. [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Although the terms used to describe Internet addiction are different, their connotations are basically the same, mainly referring to individuals' unrestrained Internet use, which also has a negative impact on their lives. ...
Many studies have shown that mobile phone dependence decreases subjective well-being, but there have been relatively few studies that investigate the specific mechanisms between mobile phone dependence and subjective well-being. In this study, the mediating effect of self-esteem and the moderating effect of social support were investigated to explore the specific mechanisms between mobile phone dependence and subjective well-being. The objective of the study is to explore the mechanism of mobile dependence on subjective well-being by constructing a moderated mediation model. College students from twenty classes in three universities were randomly selected. A total of 550 college students fully participated in the actual evaluation and completed the general well-being scale, mobile phone addiction index scale, self-esteem scale, and social support scale. SPSS17.0 was used to analyze the data. The results show that: (1) Self-esteem partially mediates the relationship between mobile phone dependence and subjective well-being. Mobile phone dependence not only has a direct influence on subjective well-being, but also influences subjective well-being indirectly by self-esteem; (2) The mediating effect of self-esteem between mobile phone dependence and subjective well-being is moderated by social support. Social support moderates the second path of the mediation, and the higher the social support, the greater the degree of self-esteem on subjective well-being. For the management of mobile phone dependence of college students, more attention needs to be paid to the personality characteristics of different students. In addition, there should be efforts to avoid blindly educating students and instead to increase their social support and create a good atmosphere on campus and in society. Only in this way can they improve their subjective well-being.
... Alex S. Hall and Jeffrey Parsons introduced a third term, Internet Addictive Behaviour (IAB). They agree that excessive use of the Internet can harm cognitive, behavioural and affective spheres, that is, affect a person's health, but they do not support a pathological aetiology of this problem [21]. Scientists present excessive use of the Internet as a "benign" disorder, which is seen as compensation for behavioural deficiencies in real life. ...
... It is not a simple task to claim that SM is a good or bad thing because the usage frequency determines if it is good or not. SM gives short-term fun when users are online (Hall & Parsons, 2001). This could become a never-ending cycle and users could keep going online for pleasure, but what they miss is that it does not give users pleasure in the long-term and any gain in their real life, which could be a major factor leading them to depression (Morgan & Cotten, 2003). ...
This research examined the effect of social media addiction (SMA), under four factors "mood modification", "relapse", "conflict" "occupation", on the depression levels (CES-D) of tourist guidance undergraduates in Turkey's higher education tourism context. The study used a survey method with the participation of 404 tourist guidance undergraduates from randomly chosen tourism faculties. Frequency analysis, simple linear regression analysis and multiple regression analysis were performed on the collected data, and it was found with the simple linear regression analysis that SMA and CES-D are positively correlated. When the sub-scales of SMAS were submitted for multiple regression analysis, it was found that the sub-scale of the "Conflict" was positively correlated with participants' depression levels whereas the sub-scale of the "Mood Modification" was found to be negatively correlated with participants' depression levels. The subscales "Relapse" and "Occupation" were found not to be significantly correlated with the participants' depression levels. The current study produced original findings providing empirical data for the literature regarding Social Media Addiction (SMA) and its effect on depression among tourist guidance undergraduates as well as some theoretical and practical implications for the curriculum to be developed in tourist guidance departments of Tourism Faculties in Turkey for more effective management of students' academic performance and achievement during their undergraduate education. Bu araştırma Türkiye' deki turizm rehberliği lisans öğrencilerinin "Meşguliyet", "Tekrar", "Çatışma" ve "Duygu durum düzenleme" olarak dört faktör altında ele alınan sosyal medya bağımlılık düzeylerinin depresyon düzeyleri üzerindeki etkisini ele almıştır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak anket tekniği kullanılmış ve rastgele seçilmiş olan turizm fakültelerinden 404 turizm rehberliği lisans öğrencisinin anketi doldurması sağlanmıştır. Toplanan veri frekans, Basit Doğrusal Regresyon ve Çoklu Regresyon analizlerine tabi tutulmuştur. Basit Doğrusal Regresyon analiziyle elde edilen bulguya göre turizm rehberliği lisans öğrencilerinin sosyal medya bağımlılık (SMA) düzeylerinin depresyon düzeyleri (CES-D) üzerinde bir etkisinin olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sosyal Medya Bağımlılık (SMA) düzeyi anketinde yer alan faktörler Çoklu Regresyon Analizine tabi tutulduğunda, elde edilen bulgular "Çatışma" faktörünün öğrencilerin depresyon düzeyleri üzerinde olumlu bir etkiye sahip olduğu ama "Duygu durum düzenleme" faktörünün depresyon düzeyleri üzerinde negatif bir etkiye sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir. Araştırmada ayrıca "Tekrar" ve "Meşguliyet" faktörlerinin öğrencilerin depresyon düzeyleri üzerinde her hangi bir anlamlı etkiye sahip olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışma bulgularıyla sosyal medya bağımlılığının depresyon düzeyi üzerindeki etkisine yönelik ilgili literatüre orijinal ampirik veri sağlamış ve aynı zamanda Türkiye' deki turizm fakültelerinde geliştirilmekte olan veya bundan sonraki süreçte geliştirilecek müfredatlar için turizm rehberliği lisans öğrencilerinin akademik performanslarının ve başarılarının lisans eğitimleri süresince etkili yönetilmesine yönelik teorik ve pratik katkılar sunmuştur.
... Similarly, girls were found to be as aggressive as boys in universities. Conclusive evidence regarding gender difference was not found on family relations as in previous research scholars were unable to originate any contrast across genders in terms of family relations (Hall & Parsons, 2001). Thus, it was decided to explore it in this study but results also yielded nonsignificant differences in this context. ...
The current study aimed to find out relationship between internet addiction, aggression and family relations in university students. Moreover, the study also examined the mediating role of family relations between internet addiction and aggression among university students. The University students were recruited as sample as researchers have found that majority of young adults use internet as time pass and become addicted but they are not aware of the addition (Hassan et al., 2020). Cross-sectional survey research design was used and data was collected through purposive sampling technique using Internet Addiction Test (Young, 1998), Aggression Questionnaire (Buss & Perry, 1992) and Index of Family Relations (Hudson, 1992). In addition, gender differences were also studied. Sample comprised of 300 students between the age of 18 and 35 years (M = 29.09, SD = 11.32). Bivariate correlation matrix revealed that internet addiction had significant positive relationship with aggression (r = 0.88, p < 0.01) and significant negative relationship with family relations (r = -0.86, p < 0.01). Moreover, mediating role of family relations was found to be significant in relationship between internet addiction and aggression among university students. However, gender differences were found to be non-significant on internet addiction, family relations and aggression among university students. The study will be useful in highlighting the importance of good family relations in minimizing adverse effects of internet addiction and aggression among university students.
... Males tend use the Internet for entertainment, such as on-line gaming and Internet gambling, which are both associated with compulsive Internet use. Hall argued that the changes in the availability and the nature of Internet service have eliminated the gender gap in the Internet-addicted students [26]. Khazaal also did not find a significant relationship between YIAT score and gender [19]. ...
Background: Problematic Internet Use (PIU) is a growing problem in Chinese adolescents. There are many risk factors for PIU, which are found at school and at home. This study was designed to investigate the prevalence of PIU and to investigate the potential risk factors for PIU among high school students in China.
Methodology/principal findings: A cross-sectional study was conducted. A total of 14,296 high school students were surveyed in four cities in Guangdong province. Problematic Internet Use was assessed by the 20-item Young Internet Addiction Test (YIAT). Information was also collected on demographics, family and school-related factors and Internet usage patterns. Of the 14,296 students, 12,446 were Internet users. Of those, 12.2% (1,515) were identified as problematic Internet users (PIUs). Generalized mixed-model regression revealed that there was no gender difference between PIUs and non-PIUs. High study-related stress, having social friends, poor relations with teachers and students and conflictive family relationships were risk factors for PIU. Students who spent more time on-line were more likely to develop PIU. The habits of and purposes for Internet usage were diverse, influencing the susceptibility to PIU.
Conclusions/significance: PIU is common among high school students, and risk factors are found at home and at school. Teachers and parents should pay close attention to these risk factors. Effective measures are needed to prevent the spread of this problem.
... It has an important role to play in changing the lives of individuals in society and it has quickly become one of the essential tools of life. So it is inevitable to eliminate it from the mundane [1]. The internet is everywhere, including home, school, university and the workplace. ...
Introduction: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between Internet addiction and happiness and general self-efficacy among students of Hamadan University of Medical Sciences. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study. The statistical population consisted of all students of Hamadan University of Medical Sciences and the sample consisted of 315 students. Data were collected using the Yang Internet Addiction, Scherer General Self-efficacy, and Oxford Happiness Questionnaire. Results: The results of this study showed that the mean age of students were 22.31 years and the sex ratio was almost equal (43.9% male and 56.1% female). 12.2% of students had severe Internet addiction behavior. The most frequent use of the Internet during the day was 2-4 hours (35.4%), which was the most time consumed during the night (63.2%). The results also showed that the mean score of self-efficacy was 59.88 ± 8.72, the mean score of Internet addiction was 53.59 ± 16.43, and the mean score of happiness was 41.09 ± 12.99. Conclusion: Daily use of the Internet on various websites by students with Internet addiction reduces their sense of happiness; this finding could be an alarm about the increase of this disorder among students. So appropriate planning in this field should be done with the cooperation of university officials.
... These changes will directly or indirectly drive the production efficiency, especially manufacturing efficiency. On the other hand, the Internet dependence theory proposes that consumers' excessive dependence on the Internet will damage people's correct cognitive, behavioral and emotional functions and change their decision-making goals (Hall, 2001). Therefore, the Internet may indirectly affect carbon emissions by affecting industrial technology and individual behavior. ...
Since human beings entered the digital era, the economic growth mode, social structure and environment have undergone fundamental changes. Internet industry plays a key role in urban energy transformation and industrial transformation and upgrading. Whether Internet development can effectively contribute to low-carbon urban transformation requires further testing. According to panel data from 283 cities in China, we examine the effect and impact mechanism of Internet evolution on urban carbon emissions. First of all, this study constructs a two-way fixed effects model to test the impact of the Internet on urban carbon emissions. The empirical results show that Internet effectively promote urban low-carbon transition. Then we used a series of robust test, including applying the instrumental variables approach, replacing the explanatory variables, and using a multi-period difference-indifference (DID) model, to prove the validity of the basic conclusion. The mechanism analysis reveal that Internet development reduce urban CO 2 emissions by upgrading industrial structure, promoting green innovation, and strengthening environmental regulation. Moreover, Internet can promote low-carbon development of resource-based cities. This paper provides an important theoretical basis for effectively promoting low-carbon transformation and development at the urban level in China from the perspective of Internet development.
... Previous theoretical and empirical studies support findings, which indicate a positive correlation between one's circle of friends, acquaintances, and family, with one's ease of online interaction (Matei & Ball-Rokeach, 2001;Parks & Floyd, 1996;Slater, 2001 Ben Wolff, a producer for the MacArthur Foundation, videotaped a program entitled, "A Day Without Facebook," in which students allowed Wolff to watch as they dealt with feelings of withdrawal from the social networking site (Wolff, 2009). These recent studies, video productions, articles, and staggering usage metrics bear witness to the growing dependency by young people on social media (Facebook, MySpace, text messaging, Twitter, & blogs) for managing their daily lives and maintaining contact with family and friends (Hall & Parsons, 2001;McMillan & Morrison, 2006;Street-Porter, 2010;Sysomo, 2010). Based on these studies and statistics, a second hypothesis is proposed regarding college students' dependency on social networking sites: ...
... İnternete ve bilişim teknolojilerine kolayca erişebilen teknoloji çağı, ergenlerin bu görevleri yerine getirirken problemli ve patolojik internet davranışları sergilemelerine yol açabilmektedir. Gelişimsel problemlerin beraberinde getireceği problemli teknoloji kullanımının ortaya çıkmaması bakımından, gençlerin içinde bulunduğu gelişim döneminin özelliği gereği gelişimsel görevlerini başarmalarının yanı sıra yaşamın getirdiği çeşitli güçlüklerle de baş edebilmeleri beklenmektedir (10,11). ...

The risk effects of internet addiction have been documented in the literature; however, few longitudinal studies have considered the heterogeneity of the subjects. A hierarchical linear model was used here to explore the relationship between adolescents' internet addiction and associated risk factors (depression, anxiety, gender, and obesity) from the perspective of longitudinal analysis. A total of 1033 adolescents were investigated and followed up with every three months with the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), and Internet Addiction Test (IAT). The hierarchical linear model of internet addiction had only two levels. The first level of the model was the time variable (three time points) and the second level of the model was the individual adolescent (1033 adolescents). The results showed that (1) depression and anxiety, as associated risk factors, were significant positive predictors of adolescents' internet addiction considering the developmental trajectory courses of adolescent internet addiction, as well as the individual differences over time; (2) there were gender differences in the adolescents' internet addictions-specifically, the initial level of internet addiction among boys was significantly higher than that of girls, but the rate of decline was significantly faster than that of girls; and (3) there was no significant difference in obesity. The results demonstrated the importance of considering depression, anxiety, and gender in any intervention efforts to reduce adolescents' internet addictions, and we should pay attention to the cultivation of positive coping strategies for Chinese adolescents. The limitations of the study were also discussed.
... Lastly, DBT skills for emotional regulation consist of identifying and labeling emotions accordingly, identifying barriers to improve emotions, reducing vulnerability to "emotional thoughts," increasing positive emotional events, increasing attention to current emotions, taking the opposite action, and applying tolerance techniques in crisis situations (Linehan, 2015a). DBT can generally be arranged in four stages (Hall and Parsons, 2001;Linehan, 2015b): ...
The pathological use of the Internet has surged during the pandemic, even though service provisions were negatively impacted. Telepsychiatry can be used as a solution to maintain psychiatric addiction services. This study examined the efficacy of online group dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) for Internet addiction (IA), compared to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Participants were divided into two arms for 8 weeks: the experimental arm received eight sessions of online DBT skill group training (n = 20), and the control arm received four sessions of online individual CBT (n = 20). All participants were required to complete a sociodemographic and Internet use survey, the Internet Addiction Test (IAT), and the University of Rhode Island Change Assessment (URICA). All participants completed the therapy. Of the 40 participants, six (15%) perceived the need for therapy and one (2.5%) participant had a history of seeking IA therapy. In the pre-post comparison, significant improvements were noted in the IAT and URICA scores as well as Internet use duration for both arms. No significant differences were observed across the arms and in the time-by-arm interaction. Online group DBT is a viable alternative to online CBT in an acute constrained setting, although further studies are required to scrutinize its long-term efficacy.

... In parallel to the speed of technological developments, the rate of Internet usage has continued to increase significantly. The increase in Internet use has led to the emergence of a new clinical disorder that is described with different terms such as Internet addiction (Jiang, 2014), problematic Internet use (Shapira et al., 2003), pathological Internet use (Davis, 2001), and Internet behavior dependence (Hall & Parsons, 2001). ...
This study examined the mediating role of self-control and goal striving in the relationship between need satisfaction, life goals and Internet addiction. A total number of 320 university students participated in this cross-sectional study. Participants completed the Need Satisfaction Scale, The Scale of Setting Life Goals with Respect to Positive Psychotherapy, Brief Self-Control Scale, Goal Striving Scale, Internet Addiction Test and Personal Information Form. Structural equation modeling and bootstrapping were used to test the hypothesized model. Structural equation modeling results provide evidence for indirect effects of need satisfaction on Internet addiction fully mediated by self-control and goal striving. Besides, goal striving and self-control fully mediated the relationship between life goals and Internet addiction. The findings emphasized the role of self-control and goal striving in explaining the relationship between life goals, need satisfaction and Internet addiction. The findings of the research were discussed in the light of the literature and research, and suggestions were presented.
... As the most economically developed region, the (East) had better conditions for accessing the internet, which increased the risk for IA. For teenagers in that region, the rapid development of technology increased the ease-of-use for computer technologies; the relatively high GDP also decreased the costs for computer and internet services; and the increasing diversity promoted the availability of internet services, along with social norms around internet usage (45). ...
Objectives
Internet Addiction (IA) is a growing issue predominate in adolescents and young adults. Although the effects of diverse stressors on IA have been highlighted, there is little consensus about the specific underpinnings of IA. The current study aims to investigate associations between uncertainty stress, life stress and IA among Chinese university medical students.
Methods
A cross-sectional survey employing multi-stage sampling was used. Data were collected from 6,061 students from 27 university medical programs across China. Associations between uncertainty stress, life stress, and IA were examined by means of multivariate logistic regression.
Results
The findings indicated that the overall IA prevalence was 12.6% (95% CI 11.7-13.5), life stress prevalence was 8.1% (95% CI 7.4-8.8), and uncertainty stress prevalence was 19.1% (95% CI 18.1-20.1). Multivariate logistic regression showed that uncertainty stress [adjusted OR 2.60 (95% CI 2.14-3.15), P < 0.001] and life stress [adjusted OR 1.71 (95% CI 1.32-2.23), P < 0.001] were positively associated with IA. Population Attributable Risk (PAR) of uncertainty stress associated with IA was 29%, and that of life stress was 15%.
Conclusions
The contribution of uncertainty stress to IA is significantly higher than that of life stress. High uncertainty stress, being male and born in a region of higher economic status were associated with excessive Internet use and IA.
... There has not been a single approved term that identifies problematic internet use, although research on the internet and information technology has progressed. Scientists have used different terms to measure internet addiction; "Pathological Internet Use" [29][30][31], "Problematic Internet Use" [32,33], "Maladaptive Internet Use" [33,34], Internet Behavior Dependence" [35], "Internet Dependence" [36,37], "Internet Over-use" [38], "Misuse of the Internet" [39], and "Internet-related disorder" [40]. The different terms reflect the unrestricted use of the internet and the consequent abandonment of other responsibilities. ...
This study explored how students' main information problems during the information age, namely internet addiction, information overload, and social network addiction, influence holistic well-being and academic attainment. The participants were 226 university students, all UK based and regular internet users. They answered the Internet Addiction Test, Information Overload Scale, Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale, and the Wellbeing Process Questionnaire. Data were analysed with SPSS using correlation and linear regression analysis. The univariate analyses confirmed the negative impact of information overload, internet addiction and social media addiction on positive well-being but not academic attainment. However, multivariate analyses controlling for established predictors of well-being showed that the effects of information overload, internet addiction and social media addiction were largely non-significant, confirming other research using this analysis strategy. Future research should examine the type of internet use as well as the extent of it.
... Other studies report that there is no association between gender and PIU (Fallahi, 2011;Hall & Parsons, 2001). In this case, both men and women are equally likely to display symptoms of Internet addiction. ...
The purpose of the present study is to investigate the relationship between Internet addiction with loneliness, depression, anxiety and stress among students of Albania’s universities. The prevalence of Internet addiction and the gender differences are other important purposes of this study. The sample consists of 1,024 university students from different Faculties of Albania’s Universities. The results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between internet addiction and loneliness, anxiety, stress and depression as a whole and all its components. Data were collected using the Internet addiction scale, UCLA Loneliness Scale, Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS 21). The regression results also indicated that in general, Internet addiction can predict loneliness, depression, anxiety and stress variable. T-test analysis indicated that male students are more prone to be addicted to the Internet than female ones and the prevalence rate of heavy internet addiction is about 0.7%. The data were analysed using correlation, regression, descriptive analysis and t-test. Keywords: Internet addiction, loneliness, depression, anxiety, stress.
... Additionally, it not only plays a vital role in economic development but also has a profound impact on the ecological environment [5]. The theory of internet dependency suggests that the internet influences consumers' cognition, behavior, and emotion, changing individuals' social interaction mode and self-awareness [6]. Therefore, environmental education through the internet can have a tremendous impact on consumer behavior [7]. ...
Under the background of dealing with global warming, the widespread use of the internet provides a new idea for countries to develop a low-carbon economy at the right time. Based on the panel data of 70 countries from 1995–2018, this paper empirically analyzes the relationship between internet usage, human capital, and CO2 emissions under different levels of economic development by using system GMM and a threshold regression model. The results show that internet usage and human capital are essential drivers of low-carbon economy development, and human capital can inversely regulate the impact of internet usage on CO2 emissions. Internet usage can increase CO2 emissions when human capital is below the threshold value, and it can significantly inhibit CO2 emissions when human capital exceeds the threshold value. In other words, with the accumulation of human capital, the effect of internet usage on CO2 emissions has an inverted U-shaped nonlinear relationship. Furthermore, the empirical analysis of high-income and middle- and low-income countries indicates the hindrance effect of internet usage on CO2 emissions is more evident in high-income countries. For both the high-income and middle- and low-income countries, the relationship between internet usage and CO2 emissions generally shows an inverted “U-shaped” relationship, first rising and then falling as human capital accumulates.
... Teknoloji bağımlısı olarak nitelendirilen ergenlerin gelişim krizlerini başarılı bir biçimde çözümlemeleri daha düşük olasılığa sahip iken; başarısız çözümlemelerinin daha yüksek oranda olduğu ortaya konmaktadır. Gelişimsel sorunların beraberinde getireceği teknolojinin problemli kullanımı gibi problemlerin ortaya çıkmaması açısından, ergenlerin içinde bulundukları gelişim dönemlerinin özelliği gereği gelişimsel görevlerini başarmalarının yanında hayatın getirdiği çeşitli zorluklarla da başa çıkabilmeleri gerekmektedir (Ceyhan, 2006;Hall & Parsons, 2001). ...
In this study, Information Technologies Usage Scale (ITUS) was developed for adolescents aged 13-19. For the research, the approval of the ethics commission was obtained with the decision dated 35853172-300 at the meeting held on 25 June 2019 by the Hacettepe University Senate Ethics Committee. Validity and reliability studies of ITUS were applied to 828 adolescent participants (420 female, 408 male). The data were collected from 527 students studying in Ankara and Mersin provinces in the second semester of the 2019-2020 academic year and Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was used for the data set. For Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), 247 students studying in Ankara and Mersin provinces participated in the current study in the second semester of 2019-2020 academic year. The data were analyzed with SPSS 18.00 and LISREL 8.8 software. The construct validity of ITUS was examined by EFA and CFA. Construct validity of ITUS was tested with EFA and CFA. EFA results showed that ITUS inludes three-factor structure. The factors are named as "Digital Gaming","Use of Technological Devices and Applications" and "Virtual Life Preference" respectively. It was observed that the scale explains 48.52% of the total variance. According to the results of the CFA, the fit indices of the scale were at an acceptable level (2 / df = 2.52, CFI = .94, RMSEA = .079, SRMR = .083). Cronbach Alpha internal consistency of 50 items in ITUS was calculated as .95. Acording to the reliability analiysis between test-retest that were conducted 2-week intervals, the Pearson correlation coefficient was found r = .889 (p <.01). Moreover, the item-total correlations of the scale varied from .30 to .67, and t-test results showed that all the differences between the averages of 27% lower and 27% upper groups were significant. The current results state that ITUS is a reliable measurement tool. In the light of these findings, it can be said that the Information Technology Usage Scale developed for adolescents is a valid and reliable measurement tool. * Bu makale Hacettepe Üniversitesi Eğitim Bilimleri Enstitüsü'nde Prof. Dr. Türkan DOĞAN'ın tez danışmanlığında İlker KABA tarafından yürütülen "Ergenlerin Teknoloji Kullanımları ve Psikolojik İhtiyaçları Arasındaki İlişkinin Öz-Belirleme Kuramı Açısından İncelenmesi" başlıklı doktora tezinden üretilmiştir.
... El presente estudio adolece de las limitaciones propias de un diseño de caso único. A pesar de ello, los resultados obtenidos apuntan a una elevada efectividad de las terapias cognitivo-conductuales (Beranuy et al., 2012;Griffiths & Meredith, 2009;Hall & Parsons, 2001;King, Delfabbro, & Griffiths, 2010;King et al., 2011;Marco & Chóliz, 2014;Young, 2013), y del PIPATIC en particular, para el uso problemático de videojuegos.

El desarrollo de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) ha propiciado investigaciones sobre la adicción a Internet, a los videojuegos y teléfonos móviles y su tratamiento. El objetivo del presente estudio es presentar la aplicación de un programa de tratamiento psicoterapéutico para la adicción a las TIC (PIPATIC) y la evaluación de su efectividad en un estudio de caso único de un paciente con trastorno dual: Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) y trastorno obsesivo-compulsivo (TOC). Los resultados son alentadores y muestran cambios positivos: reducción significativa del tiempo dedicado a los juegos, aumento del autocontrol y reducción de la sintomatología general y de los síntomas relacionados con el TOC.
... Medzi ďalšie maladaptívne myšlienky môžeme zaradiť premýšľanie o internete v režime offline, premýšľanie a plánovanie budúceho času online, znižovanie záujmu o iné aktivity a sociálnu izoláciu (Davis, 2001). Veľmi často je prítomné iracionálne očakávanie nejakej katastrofy, čo následne vyvoláva prehnaný pocit strachu (Hall & Parsons, 2001). Young (1998) po prvý raz naznačila, že tento typ katastrofického myslenia sa môže spolupodieľať na kompulzívnom používaní internetu tým, že poskytuje psychologický únikový mechanizmus, vďaka ktorému sa môže jedinec vyhnúť skutočným alebo iba pociťovaným problémom. ...
... Bu sonuç literatür tarafından da desteklenmektedir (Shotton, 1991;Scherer & Bost, 1997;Chou & Hsiao, 2000;Morahan-Martin & Schumacher 2000, Vaizoğlu vd., 2004Kaltiala-Heino, Lintonen & Rimpela, 2004;Chou, Condron & Belland 2005;Ha, vd., 2007;Korkeila vd., 2010;Çakır, Ayas & Horzum, 2011;Li vd., 2013;Pawlikowski, Altstötter-Gleich & Brand, 2013). Cinsiyetler arasında fark bulunmadığını gösteren çalışmalar da mevcuttur (Brenner, 1997;Hall & Parsons, 2001;Subrahmanyam & Lin, 2007;Batıgün & Hasta, 2010). Araştırmada elde edilen sonuçlara göre erkek katılımcıların başkalarıyla dışarı çıkmak yerine internette daha fazla vakit geçirmeyi tercih ettikleri; internette geçirdikleri süreyi ve ne yaptıklarını saklama eğilimlerinin kadın katılımcılara göre daha fazla olduğu ve internette canlarını sıkan kişilere sinirlenme eğilimlerinin daha yüksek olduğu belirtilebilir. ...
Son 15 yılda İnternet kullanımı hızlı bir artış göstermiştir: 2020 yılı itibariyle dünya nüfusunun yaklaşık %59’u internet erişimine sahiptir. Artan erişim ile birlikte, kötüye kullanım belirtileri gösteren klinik vakalar da ortaya çıkmaya başlamıştır. “İnternet bağımlısı” olan kişiler; çevrimiçi olduklarında, genellikle tam olarak harcanan zamanın farkına varmamaktadırlar. Bu araştırmanın amacı üniversite öğrencilerinin internet bağımlılıkları ile zaman yönetimleri arasında anlamlı bir ilişkinin olup olmadığının ölçülmesidir. Ayrıca internet bağımlılığı ve zaman yönetiminin demografik özelliklere göre farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığı da test edilmektedir. Araştırmanın çalışma evrenini İstanbul’da yer alan bir devlet üniversitenin Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi’nde öğrenim gören öğrenciler oluşturmaktadır. Üniversite öğrencileri üzerinde uygulanan bu çalışma, kolayda örnekleme yöntemi ile seçilen katılımcılara anket şeklinde uygulanmıştır. Anketler araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden öğrencilere internet ortamında doldurtulmuştur. Verilerin istatistiksel analizi “SPSS 20 Programı” ile yapılmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucunda katılımcıların internet bağımlılık eğilimleri ile zaman planlama hassasiyetleri arasında anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilememiştir. Ancak internet bağımlılığı ile zaman tutumları ve zaman harcattırıcılar arasında negatif yönlü bir ilişki olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Bununla birlikte katılımcıların internet bağımlılık eğilimleri ile zamanı yapıcı olarak kullanma, hedefleri belirlenen sürede tamamlama, gerektiğinde hayır diyebilme gibi zaman tutumları unsurları arasında olumsuz bir ilişki olduğu belirtilebilir. Benzer biçimde katılımcıların fayda sağlayıcı faaliyetler yürütme, önemli ödevleri son teslim tarihinden önce bitirme eğilimleri ile internet bağımlılığı eğilimleri arasında olumsuz yönde bir ilişki olduğu ileri sürülebilir.
... Classifying social media addiction as a serious health condition should also facilitate the users to receive the help that they require in order to recover from the condition. Indeed, if social media addiction is found to be comparable to other addictions such as alcohol or drug addiction, it will be necessary to offer therapy for those who are worst affected by the condition (Hall & Parsons, 2001). ...
As extant literature on social media has generally focused on investigating the psychological factors, which makes a person more susceptible to social media addiction, it has not yet investigated how social media addiction is portrayed by the media. However, the media framing of addictions can have considerable implications for consumers, as extant literature has shown them to use media texts as cultural resources through which they attempt to understand and justify their behaviour. The media can also have more indirect effects by, for instance, driving stigmatisation or public policy initiatives. Thus, this study compares the media framing of social media addiction in the UK and the US through longitudinal, mixed methods frame analysis. It then extends extant literature by showing how social media addiction has been framed in both the UK and US. It shows that concern regarding the issue has increased in both countries. In addition, the findings show that while previously social media addiction has been seen as an individual, psychological problem, concerns about the addictiveness and, thereby, about the lacking public policy measures have also increased in both countries. Implications for individual consumers, public policy and managers are considered.
... Research has shown that males play online games and use chat rooms more than females, both of which are associated with PIU (Wang et al., 2011). Hall --et al. claim that gender gaps have been eliminated by the increasing availability of internet services for students (Hall & Parsons, 2001), as some studies found no significant relationship between PIU and gender (Khazaal et al., 2008;Wang et al., 2011). Students who reported experiencing a breakup had four times the odds of having PIU as compared to those who have never experienced a breakup or answered "not applicable." ...
Problematic Internet Use (PIU) is a growing behavioral health problem among university students globally. Data on PIU among university students in Bangladesh is scarce despite growing interest in the research topic. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of PIU and its relationship with depressive symptoms, health, and internet-use behaviors among university students in Bangladesh. A cross-sectional study among 404 students was conducted between February and March 2020 within two Bangladeshi universities residing in the southern territory of the country. Data were collected on socio-demographic characteristics, health, and internet-use behaviors. The Internet Addiction Test (IAT) and the Beck Depression Inventory-21 scale were used to assess the risk of PIU and depressive symptoms of students. Among the study sample, nearly 44% (95% CI: 39.9-48.8) of the participants exhibited PIU. PIU was predicted by gender (p=0.039), experiencing a breakup (p<0.001), depressive symptoms (p=0.010), and non-educational internet use (p=0.010); particularly usage of chat rooms (p=0.025), online gaming (p=0.039), and watching YouTube videos (p=0.024). Targeting populations that engage in these internet-use behaviors for enrollment in low-intensity online interventions may aid in the prevention and control of PIU among university students.
... Internet addiction is a type of addiction that can be seen at any age. Psychological and environmental factors related to the lives of university students may cause them to be affected by Internet addiction (Hall and Parsons, 2001). Because university students may face a variety of life challenges or problems such as meeting their needs such as accommodation, nutrition, health, participating in a social group, self-confidence, adapting and developing close relationships with their surroundings (Ceyhan, 2011). ...
The present study was designed to determine the relationship between loneliness and Internet addiction, based on a sample of young generation from Turkey. Participants in this study were students of the Hacettepe University in Ankara, Turkey (n = 440). Findings show that there is a statistically significant relationship (p <0.05) between students' Internet addiction and only the grade they are studying. According to the correlation analysis, it was found that there is a negative relationship between the loneliness of students and the time they spend on the internet, and a positive relationship between internet addiction and age of students. Moreover, it was found that the age, time spent on the Internet and loneliness of university students were important determinants of Internet addiction.
Purpose
This study aims to examine the relationship between loneliness and hopelessness and mobile phone addiction (MPA) in non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) adolescents, exploring the mediating role of problem-focused and emotion-focused coping.
Methods
This cross-sectional study recruited a total of 1545 NSSI adolescents and 553 non-NSSI adolescents from over 20 specialized psychiatric hospitals across multiple provinces in China. The participants were asked to complete the Beck’s Hopelessness Scale, UCLA Loneliness Scale, Coping Style Scale, and Mobile Phone Addiction Index questionnaire. We mainly used the t-tests and structural equation model to analyze the data.
Results
T-tests showed that NSSI adolescents had lower scores on problem-focused coping and higher scores on MPA, loneliness, hopelessness, and emotion-focused coping than non-NSSI adolescents. Structural equation model showed that loneliness and hopelessness were positively related to MPA for non-NSSI adolescents. Hopelessness was positively related to MPA for NSSI adolescents. Emotion-focused coping played a mediating role in the relationship between loneliness/hopelessness and MPA for both NSSI and non-NSSI adolescents.
Conclusion
These findings suggest that NSSI adolescents with loneliness and hopelessness may have mobile phone dependence, highlighting the mediating role of emotion-focused coping style. Such findings help to understand the formation mechanism of MPA for adolescents with NSSI. Alleviating the loneliness and hopelessness and improving adaptive coping styles of adolescents with NSSI have potential implications for reducing their MPA.
The research presented in this article aimed to answer the following question: what is the role of social support and quality of family relationships in the context of depressive symptoms and abuse of the Internet during the COVID-19 pandemic and remote learning among adolescents? The study was conducted among 619 adolescents aged 11-15. The survey questionnaire was constructed from standardised research tools. The study showed that 40.0% of the students had increased depressive symptoms. Heavy Internet use affected 16.0% of the respondents, including 9.2% of those who had aggravated symptoms of depression and addiction at the same time. At the same time, it was noted that girls, compared to boys, were more often found amongst adolescents experiencing symptoms of depression.Students belonging to the group with depressive and addictive symptoms experienced significantly more difficulties in their relationships with family members compared to the group without symptoms. Students showed less severity of depressive symptoms if they rated their relationship with their parents as positive. The results showed that the quality of family relationships is most important for the normal functioning of adolescents without depressive symptoms, also in a pandemic situation.
Çalışmada üniversite öğrencilerinde internet bağımlılığı ile sanal ortam yalnızlığı ve sosyal medya kullanımı arasındaki ilişkilerin saptanması ve cinsiyete göre farklılaşma olup olmadığının incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma betimsel tarama modelinde olup çalışma grubunu Türkiye’deki beş farklı üniversitede öğrenim gören ve yaşları 18 ile 30 arasında değişen 521 öğrenci oluşmaktadır. Araştırmanın verilerinin toplanmasında Kişisel Bilgi Formu, İnternet Bağımlılığı Ölçeği, Sanal Ortam Yalnızlık Ölçeği ve Sosyal Medya Kullanımı Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Veriler, bağımsız gruplar t testi ve hiyerarşik regresyon analizi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda cinsiyete bağlı olarak internet bağımlılığı (kontrol kaybı, online kalma isteği), sanal ortam yalnızlığı (sanal sosyalleşme, sanal yalnızlık) ve sosyal medya kullanımı (süreklilik, yetkinlik) alt ölçek puanları anlamlı farklılık göstermemiştir. İnternet bağımlılığının sosyal ilişkilerde olumsuzluk alt ölçeği ile sanal ortam yalnızlığının sanal paylaşım alt ölçeği puanlarının cinsiyete göre anlamlı farklılık gösterdiği bulunmuştur. Regresyon analizi sonuçlarına göre sosyal medya kullanımı (süreklilik ve yetkinlik) ve sanal ortam yalnızlığı (sanal paylaşım, sanal yalnızlık, sanal sosyalleşme) değişkenlerinin birlikte öğrencilerin internet bağımlılıklarının %54’ünü anlamlı bir şekilde yordadığı tespit edilmiştir. İnternetin hızla gelişmesi ve hayatımıza nüfuz etmesiyle birlikte ortaya çıkan zararların araştırılması, gerekli önlemlerin alınması, gençlerin ve internet kullanıcılarının bilinçlendirilmesi ve eğitilmesi sağlanabilir.

Although empirical literature into sex addiction has flourished in the last two decades, the lack of universal agreement, and diagnostic criteria within such studies was reflected in the paucity of treatment provisions for those experiencing compulsive sexual behaviors. Since its ultimate inclusion in the International Classification of Diseases-11 (ICD-11), Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder (CSBD) provides a solid foundation in which gold-standard treatment interventions can be designed and implemented. This chapter will provide a theoretical overview of this issue, its biological basis, co-morbidities, prevalence rates, assessment approaches and treatment approaches reported in the literature. While research in CSBD has accelerated and there is evidence that examines the lasting consequences of the disorder, the field has been has subjected to a number of treatment barriers. The implications of these are further discussed.KeywordsCompulsive sexual behavior disorderCompulsive sexual behaviorHypersexualitySex addiction treatmentTreatment interventionsBehavioral addictions
zet Çalışmada üniversite öğrencilerinin internet bağımlılığı ile sosyal medya kullanım puanlarının siber zorbalığa maruz kalma ve siber zorbalık yapma açısından incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Ayrıca öğrencilerin siber zorbalık yapma ve siber zorbalığa maruz kalma durumlarına göre sosyal medya kullanım amaçlarını da incelenmiştir. Kolay ulaşılabilir örneklem yöntemi kullanılarak Hatay Mustafa Kemal Üniversitesi (n=193) ve Çukurova Üniversitesi (n=109) Eğitim Fakültelerinde farklı bölümlerde öğrenim gören 302 öğrenciye ulaşılmıştır. Veri toplama aracı olarak Kişisel Bilgi Formu, İnternet Bağımlılık Ölçeği, Sosyal Medya Kullanım Ölçeği ve Siber Zorbalık Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde siber zorbalık yapma ve siber zorbalığa maruz kalma değişkenine ait puanların sosyal medya kullanım amaçlarına göre anlamlı bir farklılık gösterip göstermediği Mann Whitney U testi aracılığıyla incelenmiştir. Öğrencilerin siber zorbalığa maruz kalma ve siber zorbalık davranışı gösterip göstermemeye göre internet bağımlığı ve sosyal medya kullanım amacı puanlarının farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığını belirlemek amacıyla t testi kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonucunda siber zorbalığa maruz kalıp kalmamaya göre sosyal medya kullanımı, siber zorbalık yapma-yapmamaya göre ise internet bağımlılığı puanlarının anlamlı düzeyde farklılaştığı belirlenmiştir. Aynı zamanda sosyal medyayı "içerik paylaşma" amacıyla kullanan öğrencilerin siber zorbalığa maruz kalma puanlarının anlamlı olduğu, sosyal medya kullanım amaçlarıyla siber zorbalık davranışı gösterme arasında ise anlamlı farklılık olmadığı bulunmuştur. Abstract In the study, it was aimed to examine the internet addiction and social media usage scores of university students in terms of exposure to cyberbullying and cyberbullying. In addition, students' social media usage purposes were examined according to their cyberbullying and exposure to cyberbullying. Using the easily accessible sampling method, 302 students studying in different departments at Hatay Mustafa Kemal University and Çukurova University' Education Faculties were reached. Personal Information Form, Internet Addiction Scale, Social Media Usage Scale and Cyber Bullying Scale were used as data collection tools. In the analysis of the data, the MannWhitney U test was used to examine whether the scores of the variables of cyberbullying and being exposed to cyberbullying showed a significant difference according to the purposes of using social media. The t-test was used to determine whether the students' internet addiction and social media usage purpose scores differ according to whether they are exposed to cyberbullying or not. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that social media usage scores differed significantly according to whether or not they were exposed to cyberbullying, and internet addiction scores differed significantly according to whether they were cyberbullying or not. At the same time, it was found that the students who use social media for the purpose of "sharing content" have significant scores of being exposed to cyberbullying, but there is no significant difference between the purposes of using social media and showing cyberbullying behavior.
Giriş: Teknoloji ve iletişim çağı olarak adlandırılan bu döneminde; sosyal ağ siteleri, bilgisayar, internet kullanımı ve cep telefonu üniversite öğrencilerinin hayatının vazgeçilmez parçasıdır. Üniversite öğrencileri bu ağ sitelerini çoğunlukla yalnızlık duygusunun azaltılması amacıyla kullanmaktadır. Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı, ulusal ve uluslararası üniversite öğrencilerinin sosyal ağ kullanımı ile yalnızlık düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırma, sağlık alanında bölümlerde öğrenim gören 218 ulusal, 134 uluslararası üniversite öğrencisi ile yürütüldü. Araştırmanın verileri “Sosyodemografik Form”, “Sosyal Ağ Sitelerini Kullanım Amaçları Ölçeği” ve “UCLA Yalnızlık Ölçeği” kullanılarak toplandı. Bulgular: Katıtımcıların %59'u ulusal, %41'i uluslararası üniversite öğrencisidir. Katılımcıların %53.4'ü interneti günde 1 ile 3 saat arası kullandığı belirlendi. Ulusal ve uluslararası üniversite öğrencilerinin UCLA Yalnızlık Ölçeği toplam puanları ve AUSNS’nin sosyal etkileşim ve iletişim amaçlı alt ölçek puanı ile UCLA Yalnızlık Ölçeği puanının istatistiksel olarak anlamlı, pozitif yönde ancak çok zayıf bir ilişki gösterdiği belirlendi (r= 0.184; p= 0.013). AUSNS'nin diğer alt ölçekleri ve UCLA Yalnızlık Ölçeği toplam puanları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki görülmedi (p>0.05). Uluslararası öğrencilerin AUSNS genel toplamı (r= 0.180; p= 0.048), sosyal etkileşim ve iletişim amaçlı alt ölçek puanı ile UCLA Yalnızlık Ölçeği arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı, pozitif ancak çok zayıf bir ilişki tespit edildi (r= 0.182; p= 0.046), (p
Background:
The aim of this study was to examine the effect of group cognitive-behavioural therapy (GCBT) on pathological internet use.
Method:
The study applied a group randomized controlled trial design to assign participants to intervention and control groups. A total of 40 college students aged 18 to 30 who were pathological internet users participated in this study and were randomly assigned to treatment and control groups. Participants completed a self-report scale titled Problematic Internet Use Scale (PIUS) at three time points. The intervention lasted for 8 weeks. The data collected were statistically analyzed using repeated-measures ANOVA.
Results:
The result showed that GCBT has significant effect in decreasing the symptoms of pathological internet use among the participants in GCBT compared to those in control group and that the improvements were maintained at follow-up. We also found a significant interaction effect by time for pathological internet use.
Conclusion:
From the finding of the study, we can conclude that GCBT has significant benefit in mitigating severity of pathological internet use among the college students. Therefore, mental health professionals are encouraged to explore the benefits of GCBT in treating symptoms associated with pathological internet use in school setting and beyond.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Symposium on Human Mental Workload: Models and Applications, H-WORKLOAD 2021, held virtually in November 2021.
The volume presents 9 revised full papers, which were carefully reviewed and selected from 16 submissions. The papers are organized in two topical sections on models and applications.
This study explored how students' main information problems during the information age, namely internet addiction, information overload, and social network addiction, influence holistic well-being and academic attainment. The participants were 226 university students, all UK based and regular internet users. They answered the Internet Addiction Test, Information Overload Scale, Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale, and the Wellbeing Process Questionnaire. Data were analysed with SPSS using correlation and linear regression analysis. The univariate analyses confirmed the negative impact of information overload, internet addiction and social media addiction on positive well-being but not academic attainment. However, multivariate analyses controlling for established predictors of well-being showed that the effects of information overload, internet addiction and social media addiction were largely non-significant, confirming other research using this analysis strategy. Future research should examine the type of internet use as well as the extent of it.
