ASSESSMENT OF THE RELATIONSHIP OF INTERNET ADDICTIVE BEHAVIOR AND CLIP THINKING IN SCHOOLCHILDREN

Abstract

The purpose of the study. To assess the relationship between Internet addictive behavior and clip thinking in schoolchildren
 Materials and methods. 59 students of both sexes of the 8th grade of secondary school № 84 of Krasnoyarsk took part in the study. A modified test based on the J.S. Bruner questionnaire was used to diagnose the clip type of thinking. The level of Internet addiction was assessed using the CIAS scale.
 Results. A pronounced and stable pattern of Internet addictive behavior on the CIAS scale was detected in 15,2% of the surveyed schoolchildren, among whom there were three times more girls compared to boys. The frequency of gambling addiction was higher in boys than in girls, while the frequency of dependence on social networks was 2 times higher among girls. The clip type of thinking was revealed in a third of the surveyed schoolchildren with the same frequency among both boys and girls. At the same time, persons with a theoretical type of thinking were more common among girls, and with a creative type of thinking – among boys. In Internet-addicted girls and boys, clip-type thinking was detected in half of the subjects in both groups.
 Conclusion. Among the identified students with the clip type of thinking, 50% belonged to people with Internet addictive behavior.
