“…First, our results are consistent with prior literature which has indicated that there is wide variation in college students' PIU levels (e.g., Balhara et al, 2019;Mamun et al, 2019;Islam & Hossin, 2016;Błachnio et al, 2015). The total PIU score and the average value of each dimension are greater than 3.5.…”

Problematic Internet use (PIU) can lead to dysfunction and undesired consequences, especially in adolescents and youths. Studies have shown that personal emotional characteristics and relationships with others are associated with PIU. We pursue the neglected question of whether there is a correlation between personal ability, such as new media literacy (NML), and PIU. Chinese university students’ PIU has received insufficient scholarly attention, and its relationship with NML is unclear. Therefore, we examined the correlation between PIU and NML in 462 Chinese university students. The results showed that PIU was widespread in varying degrees, and the NML score was 4.23 out of 5. Personal NML was positively correlated with PIU, especially the critical prosuming dimension. Gender influenced neither PIU nor new media literacy. Students’ residence was only positively associated with NML, not PIU. Gender and place of residence did not moderate the correlation between NML and PIU, and place of residence also did not moderate the correlation between gender and PIU. These findings provide insight into the relationship between humans and the Internet and have practical implications regarding preventive interventions for emerging adults.

“…Such activities would lead to increased awareness of FOMOor PIU-related threats among parents, teachers, stakeholders of education system and adolescents. Shift in knowledge is also connected with developing digital competences that include safe use of new media (Morbitzer, 2015;Błachnio, Przepiórka, Hawi, 2015). Finally, it is worth to point out that the obtained data can serve as a base to design new paths of media education in B&H, in the area of digital safety.…”

Internet addiction takes on different forms and is an important issue for diagnostic and preventive reasons. This paper sets out to diagnose the scale of problematic use of Internet (PIU) in the context of symptoms and mechanisms of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). For this purpose, triangulation of the following research tools was applied: Social Media Intensity Scale, Fear of Missing Out Scale, Summary of Social Media Use, Social Media Usage Urges, the Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale. To picture the scale of FOMO and accompanying PIU behaviors, data from 717 students in Sarajevo and Mostar cantons (Bosnia and Herzegovina) were collected. The research was conducted in 2 nd half of 2017. Based on this data, we can see that about 20% of young respondents (average age of 13 years) show several FOMO symptoms, whereas another 30% belong are at risk of being addicted to Internet. The remaining 50% of students are not at risk of IAT. These criteria vary due to lack of unified tools to measure FOMO. However, it has been observed that FOMO is minimized by some forms of leisure activity and does not depend on gender.

“…Chi-square was not frequently used as the sole model fit index because it was sensitive to sample size (Bishop & Hertenstein, 2004;Xia & Yang, 2019). The model fit for OCS was also in line with the adapted versions in Brazilian (Silva et al, 2017) and Polish version (Błachnio et al, 2015). The validity test proceeded by examining factor loading values for each dimension and item in the Indonesian language version of OCS.…”

“…The age criteria were based on the demographic distribution of internet users in Indonesia, where 98.64% fell in the young adult category (APJII, 2022). This choice was in line with the analysis of the Online Cognition Scale (OCS) consisting of participants ranging from adolescents to adults (Błachnio et al, 2015;Davis & Besser, 2002;Özcan & Buzlu, 2005;Silva et al, 2017). Data collection occurred online for ten days through Google Forms shared on various social media platforms, including WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, and Twitter.…”

“…This has led to the OCS being adapted into several different languages, and there have been checks on the psychometric qualities (Davis & Besser, 2002;Jia & Jia, 2009). Some adaptations include Turkish ( Özcan & Buzlu, 2005), Polish Błachnio et al (2015), and Brazilian (Silva et al, 2017). In practice, OCS can be used for clinical assessment purposes as a basis for establishing diagnostic and therapeutic goals.…”

The internet can make everyday life more accessible; however, it can also cause problematic behavior. It is essential to prevent the negative impact of problematic internet use on daily activities, whether in educational settings, work, social life, or general functioning. This research aims to adapt the Online Cognition Scale (OCS) to the Indonesian language. The number of samples involved in this research was 195 people between the ages of 18-25 years old. This study tested the psychometric properties through content validity tests and obtained S-CVI/Ave results of 0.92 The CFA model fit test index results are within the acceptable value for all goodness of fit indices, with factor loadings between 0.752 - 0.912 for each dimension and 0.318 - 0.882 for each item. There is one invalid item that is eliminated in the Indonesian version of OCS. The coefficient is 1.057, and the coefficient for the four dimensions ranges from 0.770 to 0.878. The coefficient for the four dimensions also moves from 0.792 to 0.881, and the item-total correlation correction test is within the range of 0.427 - 0.702. This measuring tool is used to get an overview of problematic internet usage behavior in Indonesia.
