有问题的互联网使用-通常称为网络成瘾或强迫使用-代表了青少年中日益普遍的问题。本研究的目的是分析抑郁症状的存在与互联网使用问题的各种组成部分之间的时间和相互关系（即，对在线关系的偏好，使用互联网进行情绪调节，自我调节不足，以及负面结果的表现）。因此，采用纵向设计，两次间隔1年。样本包括699名13至17岁的青少年（61.1%为女孩）。结果表明，第一次出现的抑郁症状预测了一年后对在线关系、情绪调节和负面结果的偏好增加。反过来，在时间1的负面结果预测在时间2抑郁症状的增加。这些结果带来了一些实际的影响，预防方案的设计和有问题的互联网使用的治疗。
Problematic Internet use-frequently called Internet addiction or compulsive use-represents an increasingly widespread problem among adolescents. The objective of this study was to analyze the temporal and reciprocal relations between the presence of depressive symptoms and various components of problematic Internet use (i.e., the preference for online relationships, use of the Internet for mood regulation, deficient self-regulation, and the manifestation of negative outcomes). Consequently, a longitudinal design was employed with two times separated by a 1 year interval. The sample consisted of 699 adolescents (61.1% girls) between 13 and 17 years of age. The results indicated that depressive symptoms at time 1 predicted an increase in preference for online relationships, mood regulation, and negative outcomes after 1 year. In turn, negative outcomes at time 1 predicted an increase in depressive symptoms at time 2. These results entail several practical implications for the design of prevention programs and the treatment of problematic Internet use.
