“…PIU has been shown to impair ability across a range of executive functioning tasks, such as impulse control, planning Zhou et al, 2016), as well as affecting reward sensitivity (Guillot et al, 2016). Such cognitive abilities and skills may impact academic behaviours, such as motivation to learn, by impairing individual's ability to plan (Kuo et al, 2018: Reed & Raey, 2015, or to experience reinforcement from task completion (Guillot et al, 2016), as well as being associated with higher levels of depression (Lai et al, 2015) and anxiety (Romano et al, 2017;Stavropoulos et al, 2017). Any or all of these PIU-related impairments to cognition and mental state may link with reduced motivation to study, and academic performance, in general.…”

“…Additionally, PIU also has been noted to reduce the ability to experience reward (Guillot, Bello, Tsai, Huh, Leventhal, & Sussman, 2016). Reduction in such cognitive skills and abilities may well impair motivation to study in academic contexts (Kuo, Chen, Chang, Lee, Liu, & Chen, 2018: Reed & Raey, 2015. However, PIU also has been found to be associated with depression (Lai et al, 2015;Morrison & Gore, 2010), anxiety (Romano, Roaro, Re, Osborne, Truzoli, & Reed, 2017;Stavropoulos, Gomez, Steen, Beard, Liew, & Griffiths, 2017), and loneliness (Ostovar, Allahyar, Aminpoor, Moafian, Nor, & Griffiths, 2016).…”

The current study explored the relationship between problematic internet use (PIU) and motivation to learn, and examined psychological and social factors mediating this relationship. Two hundred and eighty-five students in an Italian University were recruited for the current study. There was a negative relationship between PIU and motivation to study: a negative impact on learning strategies, meaning that the students found it harder to organise their learning productively; and PIU also positively associated with test anxiety. The current results also demonstrated that there was partial mediation of this effect of PIU on learning strategies in terms of loneliness. This suggest at those with high levels of PIU may be particularly at risk from lower motivations to study, and, hence, lower actual generalised academic performance due to a number of consequences of PIU.

Problematic Internet Use as a Predictor of Eating Disorders in Students: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Study

et al. 2019

Problematic Internet use (PIU) has begun to be linked to the development of certain eating disorders. This uncontrolled use of the Internet is mainly found in the student population. The purposes of this paper were to determine PIU-related eating disorders in students from a systematic review of the literature and to analyze the incidence of PIU in eating disorders through a meta-analysis of the literature. We used two electronic databases (Web of Science and Scopus) from inception to June 2019. The systematic literature review was based on fixed inclusion and exclusion criteria. A total of 12 studies were identified (systematic review) and 10 studies for meta-analysis, which included 16,520 students. Different eating disorders were associated with PIU: anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, food preoccupation, loss of control eating, and dieting. Furthermore, meta-analysis confirmed that PIU is a predictor of eating disorders in students. The groups of students with PIU presented a higher rate in the presence of eating disorders, these differences being significant. Finally, this study showed empirical evidence on the link between PIU and eating disorders. The need for prevention in childhood and adolescence is highlighted.

“…Accordingly, these problematic behavior patterns seem to affect a substantial proportion of adolescents. Moreover, problematic Internet use seems to be associated with psychosocial impairment, for example lower self-efficacy [18], more difficulties in emotion regulation [19], psychopathological burden as stronger conduct problems and depressive symptoms [20] or social anxiety [21], but as well as with procrastination [22] and learning [23]. In contrast to the intensive international research activities in this field and the reported prevalence rates, comparatively very few studies have focused on spontaneous remission and its possible causes.…”

Problematic use of the Internet is becoming increasingly important and especially for adolescents, high prevalence rates are reported in many countries. Despite the growing international research activities and the reported prevalence estimates, comparatively very few studies have focused on spontaneous remission and its possible causes. In a risk population of 272 adolescents, we used standardized diagnostic instruments to investigate which socio-demographic and psychosocial characteristics at baseline (at t1) predicted spontaneous remission of problematic Internet use one year later (at t2). The predictors were determined by bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. In the bivariate regressions, we found male gender, higher self-efficacy (t1), a lower level of maladaptive emotion regulation strategies (t1), lower depression (t1), lower performance and school anxiety (t1), lower social-interaction anxiety (t1), and lower procrastination (t1) to predict spontaneous remission of problematic Internet use at t2. In the multivariable analysis, a lower level of maladaptive emotion regulation strategies (t1) was the sole statistically significant predictor for the remission one year later (t2). For the first time, the high relevance of emotion regulation for spontaneous remission of adolescent problematic Internet use was observed. Based on these findings, emotion regulation could be specifically trained and promoted in future prevention measures.

Influence of internet addiction on executive function and learning attention in Taiwanese school-aged children

Abstract: Executive function and learning attention are compromised by IA in children. Early interventions into the IA should be planned to maintain the normal development of executive function and learning attention in childhood.
