Topic:

Developmental trajectories of Internet addiction and its correlates in high school students

?

Background:

Internet addiction (IA) is one of the common problematic behaviors.

Adolescents are under the period of construction in cognitive system, who have poor self-control ability. Lured by the anonymity, convenience and escape of Internet and the influence of lots of correlates, adolescents are easy to suffer from IA. Based on the overall scale of adolescents Internet users, adolescents become the potential high risk groups of IA.

IA has serious damage on adolescents’ physical health and mental health. In addition to recognizing the adverse effects of IA, we should take preventive and control measures from? the? comparative? proximal? factors? of? Internet? addiction,? so? as? to? promote? the development of physical and mental health among adolescents.

?

What:??

The present study aims to explore the relationship between Internet addiction and negative emotion, and to identify common and unique correlates for individual and comorbid negative emotion among high school students in the cross-sectional study.

Based on the ecological systems theory, we aimed to explore the path influence of various microsystem on IA and verify the causal path relationships in the longitudinal study.

To explore the developmental trajectories of IA and correlates, and the influence of developmental trajectories of correlates on IA in high school students.

This study will provide evidence for making preventive strategies and intervention measures for high school students from more perspective that is comprehensive.

?

Conclusions:

(1) The more risk factors students exposed, the higher risk of having IA only, negative emotion only and their comorbidity they had.

(2) Parental martial conflict, depression and anxiety could influence IA, and peer relationship? could? relieve? the? negative? influence? of? parental? martial? conflict? on depression and anxiety, which in turn decrease the risk of IA.

(3)? Parent-child? relationship? could? influence? IA? and? peer? relationship? could enhance? the? protective? effect? of? parent-child? relationship? on? IA.? Cultivating? good parent-child relationship and peer relationship contributes to reduce IA.

(4)? Parental? martial? conflict,? depression,? anxiety,? parent-child? relationship? and peer? relationship? could? significantly? predict? IA.? There? were? causal relationships between all the above predictors and IA.

(5) Pay more attention to high school students with the average frequency of social networking sites use more than six times every day, 60~150 social networking sites contacts, moderate preference to physical exercise, dislike physical exercise and having peer? alienation? experience,? so? as? to? prevent? the? prevalence? and? degree? of? Internet addiction.

(6) The developmental trajectories of depression, anxiety, stress, parental martial conflict,? parent-child? relationship? and? peer? relationship? could? influence? IA? in? high school students.
