“…Thus, the greater the Internet addiction, the greater the procrastination, and vice versa. Therefore, these data confirmed study findings from Turkey, Estonia, and China [38][39][40][41], thus broadening knowledge of this problem in the Mexican and Spanish contexts, under the theoretical framework of Internet addiction [42][43][44].…”

The 21 st-century problem of Internet addiction is increasing globally, but especially among university students. Not surprisingly, then, problematic Internet use is associated with university students' academic procrastination. Because studies are scarce in Mexico and Spain has one of the highest rates of Internet addiction in Europe, this paper (i) analyzed the presence and degree of Internet addiction among university students in Mexico and Spain, (ii) determined potential sociodemographic factors influencing Internet addiction, and (iii) established the type of correlation between Internet addiction and academic procrastination. The cross-sectional study design used an online questionnaire to measure problematic Internet use and academic procrastination through convenience sampling at one university in Mexico and one in Spain. The questionnaire contained three sections: participants' sociodemographic data, the Internet Addiction Test, and the Academic Procrastination Scale. The final sample comprised 758 university students, 387 from Mexico, and 371 from Spain, aged from 18 to 35 (M = 20.08, SD = 3.16). Results revealed similar prevalence rates of problematic and daily Internet use for leisure, potentially influencing Internet addiction in all three models (i.e., Mexico, Spain, and Total). Additionally, significant positive correlation was revealed between problematic Internet use and academic procrastination (p < .001). Finally, findings showed relevant data on Internet addiction's prevalence in Mexican and Spanish university contexts, along with its influential sociodemographic factors.

“…In Turkish education majors, for example, significant increase was found between AP and Internet addiction [38]. In Chinese college students, Internet addiction and procrastination correlated significantly [39,40], and, in university students in Estonia, procrastination and PIU correlated positively [41].…”

“…CSE was conceptualized as a latent psychological construct (Erez & Judge, 2001;Judge et al, 2002;Judge, Locke, Durham, & Kluger, 1998) as the four traits share many conceptual similarities, indicating a common factor forming a higher order construct (Erez & Judge, 2001;Judge, Bono, & Locke, 2000;Judge et al, 1998). CSE has been associated with work and life variables (Grant & Sonnentag, 2010;Judge, Hurst, & Simon, 2009;Kammeyer-Mueller, Judge, & Scott, 2009;Koumoundourou, Tsaousis, & Kounenou, 2011;Nikolaou & Tsaousis, 2002;Rosopa & Schroeder, 2009) and with Internet addiction (Geng, Han, Gao, Jou, & Huang, 2018).…”

The role of family and personality traits in Internet gaming disorder: A mediation model combining cognitive and attachment perspectives

et al. 2019

Background and aims: Gaming disorder was recently recognized as a mental health disorder by the World Health Organization and included in the International Classification of Diseases. Extensive research has been conducted with regard to psychosocial correlates and comorbidity, less so for the developmental mechanisms and the processes leading to the disorder. The association between family factors, personality traits, and gaming has been studied independently but not in combination. To fill this gap in knowledge, this study examined (a) the association between parental acceptance-rejection theory and Internet gaming disorder (IGD) and (b) the mediating and moderating effect of core self-evaluations (CSE), a personality construct, on the aforementioned variables. Methods: The study was quantitative and involved young adults members of online gaming communities (N = 225). Results: The results showed that parental rejection is associated with the occurrence of IGD, only through the mediating effect of CSE. The moderation model was not confirmed. Discussion: Findings bridge early emotional deficits with CSE personality traits and IGD, based on two widely acknowledged theoretical frameworks. In addition, they highlight the importance of the father's role in upbringing. Conclusions: These frameworks combine cognitive and attachment perspectives and a process-oriented approach to the development and maintenance of IGD. The implications of these findings are discussed in relation to (a) the mechanisms leading to the disorder and (b) providing an evidence base for therapeutic interventions for IGD to go beyond abstinence and include self-esteem enhancement and efficacy contingencies. Directions for future research are also provided in this study.

“…The problem of the phenomenon of Internet addiction is being actively studied, while early studies were reduced to the study of computer dependence among the formed individuals, which included employees of large American campaigns with a pathological attraction to the network [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. Today, young people aged 16-20 years old are a generation which has education and training process with computer and Internet technologies from an early age.…”

The article discusses the problem of the pupils' and students' dependence on the Internet use (the Internet addiction). The historical aspect of the emergence and identification of Internet addiction as a mental disorder is considered. The main types of Internet-based dependencies are described; there are the next types of them: computer-based dependency, compulsive navigation in the network, information overload, cyber-sexual and cyber-communicative addictions. It was revealed that cybercommunicative addiction is the most common type of Internet dependence among young people. It was suggested that there is a connection between the spending time in network and the attention concentration level of the young generation. The study revealed the features of concentration and attention at the presence of the Internet and cyber-communicative addictions. The resulting statistical sample was processed using various techniques aimed at identifying the attention stability level, work efficiency and degree of working persons' in. The performed analysis of the results confirms the hypothesis.
