“…This, in turn, may lead to ignorance or high selectivity of information (Herbig and Kramer, 2001). Indeed, there is growing evidence of a large body of ex-internet users who have decided to forego cyberspace (Kingsley and Anderson, 1998) as well as to resist online interaction (Andrews et al, 2002). Nevertheless, as for example, Freeman (in Thorne et al, 2003: 74) suggests, '.…”

Despite the maturity of the literatures that consider ethical consumer behaviour and the role of the internet, very little work seems to have been undertaken to bring these two themes together. This is unfortunate because the internet is increasingly pervasive and is used at some stage in a significant number of consumer activities. Our primary purpose is to bring together key insights and themes from research into both ethical consumer behaviour and the internet to highlight further research opportunities. In particular, we seek to demonstrate how the ethical consumerism and consumer ethics literatures together can provide a rich foundation to study ethical and moral dimensions of online consumer behaviour.

“…According to the literature, the digital divide is caused by social factors such as age, gender, education, status, income and local infrastructure (Clayton & Macdonald, 2013;Hindman, 2000;Kingsley & Anderson, 1998). Therefore, not only the different types of individuals, but also the different groups could be digitally isolated without necessarily belonging to groups traditionally excluded, at least not from a social conception of exclusion; in fact, there may actually be digitally excluded people of all kinds, for any of the reasons listed above.…”

a b s t r a c tThe deprivation of freedom for the prisoners, involves not only physical isolation, but also digital, which implies a strong isolation particularly painful in an ''information society''. Spanish prison population is deprived of access Internet and all ICT that could contact inmates with outdoor life, this is mainly due to security issues. Not having enough ICT skills is a new cause of social exclusion. The objective of this research was to identify the key issues which should be focused by policy makers to avoid digital divide among prison population. A survey among inmate population in all the five penitentiary centers in Galicia, in the northwest of Spain, was undertaken to obtain a sample of 380 inmates. A Structural Equation Model (SEM) was carried out to explain prisoners' ICT Skills, in bias to inmate's social skills, general skills and attitude towards collaborative learning. For inmates, who are characterized by their low education level, results shown the relevance of having general and social skills to be able to have more ICT skills. Then, collaborative learning in prison it is shown as a way to bridge both walls: the physical (better reinsertion and no recidivism) and the digital one.

“…Internet addiction Previous research has alleged that excessive internet use can be pathological and addictive, which is treated as internet addiction disorder (IAD) in clinical settings (Furnell and Warren, 1997;Kingsley and Anderson, 1998;Mafé and Blas, 2006;Widyanto and Griffiths, 2006). Past studies on internet addiction revealed numerous symptoms shared by other forms of addiction, including substance-based addictions, such as tolerance, withdrawal, preoccupation, numerous unsuccessful attempts to cut down use of the internet, and feeling restless without internet Widyanto and Griffiths, 2006).…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to investigate the interrelationships between internet connectedness, online gaming, internet addiction symptoms, and academic performance decrement among the internet-dependent young people in China. Design/methodology/approach -A paper-based survey was conducted among the young clients in one of the earliest and largest internet addiction clinics in China. A total of 594 in-patients (mean age ¼ 17.76 y) voluntarily participated in this study. Findings -By adopting the concept of internet connectedness, this study explored the internet use patterns among the young internet addicts, for example, internet café patrons and those who use internet with more goals or higher degree of internet adhesiveness had more internet addiction symptoms. Online gaming was found to play a significant role in the development of internet addiction. As expected, the level of internet addiction is significantly linked to academic performance decrement. Consistent with previous studies, males showed higher degree of internet connectedness and online game usage than females. Noticeably, the moderation effect of online game playing and the mediating effect of internet addiction were also tested. Research limitations/implications -This research is focussed on the internet-dependent group, thus the generalizability of the results need to be interpreted with caution. Practical implications -This study provides insight for parents, educators, health professionals, and policy makers regarding treatment and intervention for internet addiction among young people in China. Originality/value -Since very little research has been done focussing on diagnosed internet-dependent group, this paper scores as a pioneering study of its kind in China.
