“…Adolescents, for whom the Internet is an indispensable part of their daily life, are the most significant PIU-risk group (Lam, 2015;Öztürk and Özmen, 2016;Faghani et al, 2020;Sela et al, 2020). According to several epidemiological studies (Moreno et al, 2013;Mihara et al, 2016;Lai and Kwan, 2017;Wartberg et al, 2017), the prevalence estimates of PIU vary widely.…”

Although numerous studies have examined the factors influencing problematic Internet use (PIU), few studies have investigated the interactions between inappropriate physical and mental health (e.g., cyberbullying, Internet pornography, and Internet fraud) as factors facilitating PIU and examined the moderating effect of community bond. Thus, this study analyzed the moderating role of community bond in the relationship between cyberbullying, Internet pornography, Internet fraud, and PIU. Using a cross-sectional survey, adolescents were surveyed through self-report questionnaires. A total of 5,211 responses were received from participant students at 60 senior high schools in Taiwan. Statistical analyses were performed using structural equation modeling. The results indicated that cyberbullying, Internet pornography, Internet fraud, and community bond have significant positive effects on PIU. Community bond has a significant moderating effect in the relationship between cyberbullying, Internet fraud, and the PIU of adolescents. Parental Internet attitude and behavior were found to significantly moderate the relationship between inappropriate physical and mental health, community bond, and PIU. The results suggest that public health and education policies should focus more on adolescents who require additional assistance. Furthermore, school policies could be more informed in regard to relevant psychosocial variables and patterns of Internet use. Finally, this study may serve as a reference for parents, schools, and government education authorities.

“…Neuroticism has been positively associated with (i) problematic internet use in all empirical research to date in correlational studies (e.g., [18][19][20]), (ii) comparison of groups of internet addicts and controls (e.g., [21,22]), and (iii) regression analyses (e.g., [23,19]). This association is also found in research assessing neuroticism by questionnaires based on (i) Eysenck's three-factor theory (e.g., [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33]) and (ii) Zuckerman's five-factor model (e.g., [34]). Similarly, studies have also reported an association between low agreeableness and internet addiction (e.g., [21,23,18,20]) and low conscientiousness and internet addiction (e.g., [18,22,20]).…”

“…The Internet has significantly influenced many aspects of human life and has become integral to individuals’ daily activities (Symons et al, 2019 ; Chao & Yu, 2017 ; Öztürk & Özmen, 2016 ; Yu & Chao, 2016 ; Chao et al, 2013 ), including online gaming and other forms of entertainment (Chao & Yu, 2017 ; Öztürk, & Özmen, 2016 ; Wartberg et al, 2017 ). Appropriate Internet use may promote personal development, broadened knowledge, and improved physical and mental health.…”

“…However, problematic Internet use may have negative consequences, especially among adolescents who have yet to reach psychological maturity. These consequences may include a change in daily routine, problematic Internet use (PIU), interpersonal relationship problems, dysfunctional social skills, and physical/mental health damage (Baumgartner et al, 2010 ; Chao & Yu, 2017 ; Öztürk & Özmen, 2016 ; Yu & Chao, 2016 ). Greenfield and Yan ( 2006 ) noted that, among all age groups, adolescents—who are the most frequent Internet users (Öztürk & Özmen, 2016 )—are the most affected by PIU.…”

In recent years, online gaming and cyber pornography have become problematic activities among Internet users. When individuals immerse themselves in these activities, the experience of flow can negatively influence users’ physical and mental health and interpersonal relationships. Thus, this study analyzed the mediating roles of self-consciousness and peer relationships in the relationships between online gaming, cyber pornography, and physical and mental health. We obtained data from fifteen senior high schools in Taiwan ( N = 1838 students; first year, 996 students, and second year, 842 students) by conducting a 2-year longitudinal survey. Statistical analyses were performed using structural equation modeling. The results indicated that adolescents’ online gaming was positively associated with their physical and mental health; however, it was negatively associated with their self-consciousness. In addition, when they became absorbed in cyber pornography, they lost track of time and lost self-consciousness, and it influenced their peer relationships. Self-consciousness and peer relationships mediated the relationships between cyber pornography and participants’ physical and mental health. We identified relationships between online gaming, cyber pornography, elements of flow, and physical and mental health. The findings of this research can offer guidelines for policy makers and educators who evaluate adolescents’ Internet use and behavior to provide proper access to Internet use and promote by building a healthy Internet environment in educational activities.
