这项研究试图通过分析来自17,251人的在线调查数据来解决互联网使用和滥用问题。数据收集自与ABC-NEWS.com的一个联合项目,在该项目中,调查参与者回答了一份关于他们互联网使用和行为的36项问卷。这项研究的主要发现支持了以前的研究,即大约6%的受访者符合网络成瘾的标准。该研究还研究了互联网上涉及性行为的独特因素,并支持经常观察到的虚拟性行为发展为实时性关系的趋势。在网络性行为和随后的实时性活动之间也发现了明显的相关性。此外,还有一个评估的因素,有助于网络成瘾,解决了使用回归分析;心理回归发现,近46%的网络成瘾的方差是由研究中检查的变量。互联网使用独特的因素,如去抑制,匿名,方便访问,加速亲密,时间扭曲(解离),和强度/刺激的在线内容的贡献也进行了探讨。这项研究支持了某些人使用互联网的强迫性,并为进一步的研究提供了建议。
This study attempted to address the areas of Internet use and abuse by analyzing data derived from an online survey of 17,251 individuals. Data were collected from a joint project with ABC-NEWS.com, in which survey participants answered a 36-item questionnaire regarding their Internet use and behavior. The main findings of the study supported previous research indicating that approximately 6% of those surveyed met the criteria for Internet addiction. The study also examined the unique factors involved with sexuality on the Internet, and supported the frequently observed tendency for the progression of virtual sexual behavior to real-time sexual relations. A clear correlation was also found between cybersexual behavior and subsequent realtime sexual activity. In addition, there was an assessment of factors contributing to Internet addiction that was addressed using a regression analysis; the psychological regression found that nearly 46% of Internet addiction variance was accounted for by the variables examined in the study. The contribution of factors unique to Internet use, such as disinhibition, anonymity, ease of access, accelerated intimacy, time distortion (dissociation), and intensity/stimulation of online content were also explored. The study supports the compulsive nature of Internet use for certain individuals and offers suggestions for further research.
