有问题的互联网使用与忽视有价值的活动有关，如工作，锻炼，社交活动和关系。在本研究中，我们扩大了对有问题的互联网使用的理解，确定了一个重要的预测因素，无法遏制互联网的使用，尽管希望这样做。具体而言，在一个大学生样本报告的平均27.8小时的娱乐互联网使用在过去的一周里，我们调查的作用，痛苦的不容忍（DI）-一个个体差异变量，是指一个人无法忍受情绪不适，并从事目标导向的行为时，痛苦预测未能满足个人限制互联网使用。与假设一致，DI出现作为一个显着的预测失败，以满足自我控制的目标，在双变量和多变量模型，表明DI提供了独特的预测自我控制失败与有问题的互联网使用。鉴于DI是一种可改变的特征，这些结果鼓励考虑以DI为重点的早期干预策略。
Problematic Internet use has been associated with the neglect of valued activities such as work, exercise, social activities, and relationships. In the present study, we expanded the understanding of problematic Internet use by identifying an important predictor of the inability to curb Internet use despite the desire to do so. Specifically, in a college student sample reporting a mean of 27.8 h of recreational Internet use in the past week, we investigated the role of distress intolerance (DI)-an individual difference variable that refers to the inability of an individual to tolerate emotional discomfort and to engage in goal-directed behavior when distressed-to predict the failure to meet personal restrictions on Internet use. Consistent with hypotheses, DI emerged as a significant predictor of the failure to meet self-control goals in both bivariate and multivariate models, indicating that DI offers unique prediction of self-control failure with problematic Internet use. Given that DI is a modifiable trait, these results encourage consideration of DI-focused early intervention strategies.
