Internet Addiction among " Gen Z " College Students in China: the Role of Attachment Styles

This study looked at whether insecure attachment style among Chinese university students categorized as "Gen Z" is predictive of various types of Internet addiction using an online survey. Using simple random sampling, 796 Chinese university students (581 valid questionnaires) were chosen as participants. The chi-square test results showed a strong correlation between insecure attachment style and addiction to online gaming and relationships, but not with addiction to online information. Online gaming and online relationship addiction were positively connected with anxious and fearful avoidant attachment, according to binary logistic regression studies, but dismissive avoidant attachment did not demonstrate any significant correlation. These results imply that online relationships and game addiction are partially predicted by an insecure attachment type.

RELATIONSHIP OF INTERNET ADDICTION WITH HEADACHES IN ADOLESCENTS: COMORBID PATHOLOGY AND COMMON RISK FACTORS

Data on the relationship of headaches with Internet addiction is rather inconsistent.
 Purpose: to establish common risk factors for the development of various types of Internet addiction and primary types of headache.
 Materials and methods. 5195 schoolchildren aged 11-18 in Siberia were examined. Internet addiction and its types were determined using the Chen questionnaire, Game Addiction Scale and The Social Media Disorder Scale; Type of headache (migraine or tension headache) – according to the questionnaire of S.Yu. Tereshchenko, based on The International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd edition (beta version), 2013; Mental disorders – in computerized testing in the program “The Development and Well-Being Assessment” (DAWBA, R. Goodman et al.)
 Results. It has been established that Internet addiction occurs 6 times more often in migraine and 3 times more often in tension headache. However, this relationship is only observed for Social Media Disorder. The connection of headaches with Game Addiction has not been revealed. At the same times headaches (especially migraine) and Internet addiction (predominantly social media disorder) have a common comorbid pathology and risk factors: recurrent abdomen pain, back pain, insomnia, daytime sleepiness, gastroesophageal reflux disease, asthenic syndrome, emotional problems, hyperactivity, high prognosis of mental pathology.

The effect of stress on internet addiction among university students: the mediating role of self-control

Earlier investigations have revealed that internet addiction among college-goers is a burgeoning issue, but there has been a dearth of inquiry into the correlation between stress, self-command, and internet addiction.In addition, some studies have neglected the tendency of females and minority college student towards Internet addiction. To bridge this research gap, the present study endeavored to examine the influence of stress on internet addiction in college students, as well as the moderating role of self-control in this connection. To attain our objective, we utilized the Stress Scale for College Students, the Self-Control Scale for College Students, and the Internet Addiction Test to conduct surveys among a sample of 316 college students. The outcomes of our study revealed that stress exhibited a positive association with internet addiction, while displaying a negative association with self-control.Additionally, our results indicated that self-control partially mediated the relationship between stress and significant internet addiction. In summary, our investigation revealed that stress can predict internet addiction both directly and indirectly, by influencing self-control.There are also shortcomings in our own study. Given the insufficient participation of minority college students, there is presently no pertinent research on the adverse association between stress and internet addiction in this population. Consequently, forthcoming research can investigate how diverse factors impact different kinds of internet addiction, in order to more effectively intervene and prevent various types of internet addiction among college students.

Smartphone addiction is more harmful to adolescents than Internet gaming disorder: Divergence in the impact of parenting styles.

The adverse effects of smartphone addiction (SPA) and Internet gaming disorder (IGD) on adolescents' mental health have been widely recognized. However, the influence of parenting styles on these high-risk Internet use behaviors of adolescents still remain elusive. Aiming to identify preventable patterns for adolescents with SPA or IGD, this study compared the mental health status between adolescents with SPA and IGD and used path analysis to confirm actual effects of parenting styles on SPA and IGD. Participants were enrolled at a junior high school in Hunan Province and a senior high school in Shanxi Province, China [n = 3,049, female (male): 50.5% (49.5%), mean age = 15.68 ± 1.54]. All participants reported their socio-demographic characteristics and undertook standardized assessments of SPA, IGD, parenting styles, depression, anxiety, insomnia, self-control, and support utilization. High levels of parental care and low levels of parental overprotection benefited adolescents' mental health with SPA and IGD. However, despite having a more positive parenting style, adolescents with only SPA showed more severe mental health problems than adolescents with only IGD. Furthermore, the results showed that the parenting style of encouraging autonomy might be a protective factor against IGD, but it might reinforce SPA indirectly by reducing abilities of support utilization and self-control in whole sample. Compared to IGD, SPA which included different kinds of Internet addiction behaviors, was more hazardous for adolescents' mental health. The divergent effects of an autonomy-encouraging parenting style on SPA and IGD may reflect the different impacts of self-control in different types of Internet addiction.

Do men become addicted to internet gaming and women to social media? A meta-analysis examining gender-related differences in specific internet addiction

Males have been proposed to be more vulnerable to internet addiction (IA) than females. However, males and females may differ with respect to specific patterns and types of internet usage and related IA. To investigate further, a meta-analysis was conducted to investigate gender-related differences in internet gaming disorder (IGD) and social media addiction (SMA). The current meta-analysis aimed to quantify gender-related effect sizes relating to IGD and SMA, examine potential moderating influences of regions and other possible confounds, and compare the findings with generalized IA at the country level. The meta-analysis comprised 53 effect sizes with 82,440 individuals from 21 countries/regions for IGD, and 41 effect sizes with 58,336 individuals from 22 countries/regions for SMA. A random-effects model confirmed important gender-specific distinctions as men were more likely to exhibit IGD than women (g = 0.479) and less likely to exhibit SMA than women (g = −0.202). Additional moderator analyses revealed that effect sizes of IGD and SMA were larger in Europe and the Americas than in Asia. Further analyses indicated that the effect sizes of gender-related differences in IGD and SMA at the country-level were significantly larger than those in generalized IA, which suggests that gender-related differences in specific IAs may be underestimated in the “umbrella” of generalized IA. Results have implications for explaining why males and females may become addicted to internet use through different pathways.

Analysis of the Sleep Disorders in Students Under the Effect of Computer Games and Video Films

Introduction and wide use of information technologies in all spheres of human life including for the purpose of entertainment has led to the emergence and spread of various types of Internet addiction. Numerous studies have established the effect of the nature of activity in the virtual world on the state of the human mental condition.

We have researched in the sleep disorder mechanisms in technical university students, who use computer games and video films for recreation and entertainment. The authors of the article K. N. Meziyanaya, K. D. Yashin, K. M. Karaneuski developed the questionnaire "Method of Screening Diagnostics of Computer Addiction and its Influence on Physical and Mental Health" to study of formation of sleep disorders [1]. Interviews with 142 2nd to 5th year students studying in one of the technical universities of Minsk city were conducted in order to study the formation of sleep disorders under the influence of the computer media environment: males – 119 (84.4%), females – 23 (16.2%). The average age of respondents was 19.7 (±1.5) years. The average duration of the virtual world use was 9 (±2) years. It is established that 101 students (71.1% of the number of respondents) are forced to wake up from fear and anxiety. The statistical relationship is shown between the symptom of sleep disturbance: they say in a dream "I just dream it" and the symptom: duration of stay in the virtual world 40 or more hours per week. χ² criterion = 5.63; p = 0.05. The relationship between combining computer games with watching movies and waking up from fear and anxiety is found, χ² criterion = 4.38, p = 0.05. The findings suggest that the continued use of computer games in combination with viewing video films contributes to the development of malfunction of the organization and maintenance of sleep. The results testify to the correlation between a sleep disorder and a prolonged stay in the virtual world, which can contribute to predicting the formation of anxiety disorders.
