“…However, a study [26] on secondary school adolescents in Delhi, India reported a slightly lower prevalence of stress (60.9%) than the prevalence reported in the current study. Again, the prevalence estimate reported in this study is also 6% higher than that of a 2019 study conducted among secondary school adolescents who had internet addiction [27]. In a Saudi study of adolescents addicted to gaming, only 11% of the participants experienced stress [28].…”

Background Stress affects adolescents’ daily lives by disrupting their working capacity and begets comorbidity. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of stress symptoms and the factors associated with these symptoms among secondary school-going adolescents in Bangladesh. Methods A cross-sectional study using two-stage cluster sampling was conducted. A self-administered questionnaire was given to 2355 adolescents from nine secondary schools in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Of the respondents, 2313 completed the 10-item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10). Sociodemographic information, self-reported body image, a modified Leisure Time Exercise Questionnaire (LTEQ), and the WHO Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) were used to determine the sociodemographic and lifestyle factors associated with stress symptoms among adolescents. Results Findings suggest that about 65% of adolescents experienced moderate stress symptoms, and about 9% experienced high-stress symptoms. Females (58.7%) suffered more from stress compared to males (41.3%). Age, grade, and residential setting were significantly associated with stress. Logistic regression estimates show that level of physical activity (AOR: 1.52; 95% CI:1.26–1.84), sleep dissatisfaction (AOR: 1.33; 95% CI: 1.07–1.65), and perception of self as overweight/obese (AOR: 1.46; 95% CI: 1.13–1.89) were significantly associated with stress symptoms among adolescents. Conclusions Stress symptoms are highly prevalent among secondary school adolescents in Bangladesh. Further exploratory investigations are needed on possible intervention strategies to reduce the burden of stress among adolescents.

“…Therefore, there is no consensus on which variable is dependent and which is independent. Several studies agree that excessive Internet use is linked to impulsivity and depression, as the individual, when trying to regulate his or her emotions, is unable to control them and chooses to regulate them in a negative way, i.e., through an activity that harms him or her, such as problematic Internet use ( 43 , 44 ).…”

This contribution presents a study conducted on a sample of Italian adolescents (n = 411) in the period of the first COVID-19 lockdown. The study investigated the role and predictive weight of the impulsivity and depressive brooding variables on Internet addiction, using a hierarchical regression analysis. The participants were administered the Uso-Abuso e Dipendenza da Internet [Internet Use-Abuse and Addiction] (UADI-2), the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale-11 (BIS-11), and the Ruminative Response Scale (RRS). In terms of percentage distribution, 28% of the participants were in the full dependency range, while 34.7% demonstrated Internet abuse behavior. The results highlighted not only the predictive value of impulsiveness (β = 0.323) and ruminative thinking (β = 0.258), but also the role of gender (β = −0.205) on Internet addiction. Thus, male participants showed higher levels of Internet addiction, with higher scores on impulsiveness and brooding way of thinking. The study shows that the issue in question is significantly present among adolescents; in addition, not only targeted awareness programmes but also psycho-educational and clinical interventions to promote greater emotional and cognitive control would be necessary as a preventive and mitigating measure. Psychological interventions can help increase self-awareness, develop emotional regulation and impulse control, and correct maladaptive cognitions which in adolescents are mostly driven by a ruminative cognitive style.

“…In research of Indian teenagers who were internet addicts, a high notch for downheartedness was also noted. 27 , 33 , 34 Unhappiness and IA are linked disorders. Because of the good emotions one experience while using the internet, such as exhilaration and happiness, during a period of time develops into a routine and eventually into an addiction.…”

Background: Unwarranted internet use can lead to a multiplicity of issues in personal, social, and professional spheres. This phenomenon is known as internet addiction. Between 1989 and 2020, the number of internet users increased from 500000 to 4.83 billion, suggesting a rising trend in the figure of persons who are digitally savvy. India had more than 718 million subscribers as of June 2020, second only to China, according to TRAI. The ground of this study is to scrutinize the magnitude of addiction, its impact, and related factors in universities located in the districts of Chhattisgarh’s judicial capital, Bilaspur, and state capital, Raipur. Methods: The "Personal Information Form" was used to gather data, which also contained synopses of internet usage, Young’s "Internet Addiction Test (IAT)," and a questionnaire the researcher created called the "Impact Scale of Internet Addiction." Results: Out of 937 professionals from different socio-economic backgrounds, 495 (52.82%) were male and 442 (47.18%) were females. The subject’s mean age was 21.34 (SD 2.34). The study’s findings indicate that the mean IAT score for IA among users was 67.15. Out of the total, 222 (23.69%) respondents were found to be severely addicted, 587 (62.64%) to be possible addicts, and 122 (13.02%) to be mildly addicted, respectively. Only six (0.64%) out of 937 people were considered to be completely safe or addiction-free. Comparing males’ and females’ outcomes in terms of social media usage, academic performance, tendencies, and purpose has proven to be highly significant. Conclusion: Discuss the probability of addiction, protective factors, and preventive techniques based on these facts.
