“…According to Yüksel and Yılmaz (2016), the reason why there is a negative correlation between Internet addiction levels and problem-solving skills is the fact that, when dependency increases, problem-solving skills are negatively affected in turn. It has also been claimed by Kelleci (2008) that Internet dependency negatively affects social relations and feelings (Engelberg and Sjoberg, 2004), along with various skills that require personal development and communication skills, such as selfexpression (Suhail & Bargees, 2006). For teachers, the differences in communication skills have a negative impact on both academic and other tasks.…”

“…One study found that physical competences of users increased in one year when their Internet usage time was reduced (Larwin & Larwin, 2008). Psychosomatic symptoms, such as a lack of physical energy, physiological Volume 10 Number 4 2017 dysfunction and weak immunity (Cao, et al, 2011), caused by computer use for long hours, result from using the Internet for a long period of time in an inappropriate sitting position (Shields & Behrman, 2000), the formation of carpet tunnel syndrome in muscle groups (Shields & Behrman, 2000), the formation of health problems in the eyes, such as eye fatigue and eye irritation due to staring at a monitor for protracted periods (Subrahmanyam et al, 2000;Healy, et al, 2010), and increases in migraine pain (Suhail & Bargees, 2006) also negatively affect the individual in psychological and social terms, resulting in low self-esteem and the occurrence of occupational and personal disorders.…”

Abstract. In this research, the relationship between Internet addiction levels among teaching candidates and their problem-solving aptitude and self-efficacy perceptions towards the teaching profession was investigated. In addition, the effects of gender, department, Internet use and sporting habits on the Internet addiction, problem-solving skills and self-efficacy perceptions among teaching candidates were examined. The sample in this study comprised final-grade teaching candidates who were in the graduation phase. Statistical analysis of the data was conducted with the SPSS 22.0 computer program. According to the results, there was a moderate negative relationship between the Internet addiction level among the teaching candidates and weak self-efficacy perceptions and problem-solving skills, while there was a positively higher correlation between self-efficacy perceptions and problem-solving skills in the sample. Male subjects' Internet addiction levels were significantly higher than those of their female counterparts. However, no gender influence was observed on the problem-solving skills of prospective teachers and their proficiency regarding professional competence. The use of the Internet for entertainment purposes influenced problem-solving skills among teaching candidates to a negative extent, resulting in Internet dependency. Teaching candidates who used the Internet for research purposes, however, showed a higher level of proficiency and problem-solving skills appropriate to their profession and lower Internet addiction levels. Engaging in regular sporting activities was found to reduce teaching candidates' Internet addiction levels and positively affect problem-solving skills.

Abstract. Problematic Internet Use (PIU) is one of the negative effects of the internet use, but we can rarely find publications on PIU of Indonesian's college students, especially college students in Jakarta. The purpose of this research was to describe PIU among college students in Jakarta. The Generalized Problematic Internet Use Scale 2 was used to collect data of a total of 474 college students from three universities in Jakarta. The results showed that: a) For preference for online social interaction symptoms, participants preferred to do online social interaction rather than face to face interaction, especially when face to face interactions were not possible. b) For mood regulation symptoms, participants used internet to regulate their negative feelings. c) For cognitive preoccupation symptoms, participants tended to have obsessive thought patterns for their activity on internet. d) For compulsive internet use symptoms, participants found it difficult to restrict their internet use. e) For negative outcome symptoms, online activities of participants did not have negative influence on their daily routines. Furthermore, the results showed no significant differences of the PIU symptoms across gender and internet use duration. Taken together, the results indicated moderate level of problematic internet use in our sample.Keywords: college students, gpius 2, problematic internet use, Jakarta.Abstrak.

Untuk itu, penelitian ini bertujuan memberikan informasi mengenai gambaran PIU pada mahasiswa di Jakarta. Generalized Problematic Internet Use Scale 2 digunakan untuk mengumpulkan data dari total 474 mahasiswa dari tiga universitas di Jakarta. Hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa: a) Gejala preferensi untuk interaksi sosial secara daring menunjukkan bahwa partisipan lebih menyukai interaksi sosial secara daring daripada interaksi tatap muka, terutama ketika interaksi tatap muka tidak mungkin dilakukan. b) Untuk gejala regulasi mood, partisipan menggunakan internet untuk mengatur perasaan negatif yang mereka rasakan. c) Untuk gejala cognitive preoccupation, partisipan cenderung memiliki pola pemikiran obsesif terkait aktivitas mereka di internet. d) Gejala penggunaan internet kompulsif menunjukkan bahwa partisipan cenderung sulit untuk membatasi penggunaan internet mereka. e) Gejala dampak negatif menunjukkan bahwa aktivitas online partisipan tidak memberikan pengaruh negatif pada rutinitas sehari-hari mereka. Lebih lanjut, hasil penelitian ini tidak menunjukkan adanya perbedaan gejala PIU yang signifikan, baik antar jenis kelamin maupun lama penggunaan internet. Secara bersamasama, hasil penelitian ini mengindikasikan adanya PIU pada tingkat moderat yang dialami partisipan penelitian ini.Kata kunci: Jakarta, gpius 2, mahasiswa, problematic internet use (piu) 1 Korespondensi mengenai isi artikel ini dapat dilakukan melalui...

Abstract:This paper articulates the Artificial Medium Laws Theory. The theory is comprised of Perceived Psychological Dimensions, namely: sound, picture, moving picture, time and interaction. These dimensions are the building blocks of the theory's five laws: 1) The Truth in the Medium is Context Dependent, 2) The Stronger Dimension Prevails, 3) Medium with Time Dimension Determines its Usage Length, 4) The More Dimensions the Medium Poses the Weaker the User's Imagination, and 5) The User is Bound to All the Laws. The theory seeks to explain the artificial medium influence on human users and to suggest potential implications.
