“…Nalwa and Anand (2003) utilized the Online Cognition Scale (Davis, 2001) and found that 18% of the 16-to 18-year-old (N ¼ 100) children surveyed were experiencing IA. In a relatively recent study, Yadav et al (2013) found that 11.8% of the 15 to 18 years (N ¼ 621) children surveyed were experiencing IA. However, neither of these studies examined the psychometric properties of any IA assessment instrument.…”

“…To bridge this existing gap in the literature, and to support the measurement of IA among Indian adolescents, this article validated the IAT with a population of Indian people aged 12 to 18 years. Yadav et al (2013) argued that school-attending adolescents have a constant urge for companionship, experience the stress of examination, struggle with autonomy and freedom-related issues, and are more vulnerable compared with adults. Additionally, prior literature has advocated for further evaluation of the effectiveness of the IAT and its underlying research model, by conducting further studies in other cultures and with different demographics (Hawi, 2013;Khazaal et al, 2008).…”

The past few years have witnessed great developments in Internet infrastructure, which have led to increased Internet usage among people of various age groups. However, at the same time, there have been some negative implications associated with increased Internet usage for some individuals. "Internet addiction" (IA) is one such negative consequence of excessive Internet use among users. The present study investigates the psychometric properties of the Internet addiction test (IAT) with a total of 1,914 junior and senior high school students from India. The collected data were subjected to exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, in addition to various other statistical tests. The study results show that a one-factor model for IAT demonstrates good psychometric properties and fits extremely well with our data. The present study provides empirical evidence that the IAT is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring IA. The study concludes with several theoretical and practical implications for IA research.

“…These studies used the IAT (or its adaptations) to estimate the prevalence of potential IA, and despite the use of the same instrument, the ranges vary widely (from 0.9 % [58] to 11.8 % [59]). However, other tests are starting to be used, including the Revised Generalized and Problematic Internet Use Scale (GPIUS2) [60] and the Compulsive Internet Use Scale (CIUS) [61].…”

During the past two decades, Internet addiction (IA) has been the most commonly used term in research into online activities and their influence on the development of behavioral addictions. The aim of this review is to assess the impact of the concept of Internet gaming disorder (IGD), proposed by the American Psychiatric Association, on the scientific literature regarding IA. It presents a bibliometric analysis of the IA literature starting from the time IGD was first proposed, with the objective of observing and comparing the topics that have arisen during this period among the different IA themes researched. The findings demonstrate a steady evolution, particularly regarding publications related to the general aspects of IA: its clinical component, its prevalence and psychometric measures, the growing interest in the contextual factors promoting this addictive behavior, scientific progress in its conceptualization based on existing theoretical models, and neuropsychological studies. Nevertheless, many of the studies (22 %) focus on specific IA behaviors and show heterogeneity among the cyberaddictions, with online gaming (related to IGD) most common, followed by cybersex and social networking. Although research on the general concept of IA continues, investigators have begun to pay attention to the diverse spectrum of specific cyberaddictions and their psychological components.
