A Review of the Research on Internet Addiction
Chou, C., Condron, L., & Belland, J. C. (2005). A review of the research on internet addiction. Educational Psychology Review, 17(4).
A complete review of previous studies on internet addiction is presented in this paper and related social effects and issues also are introduced. Many studies were carried out in Taiwan, which is the context I’m very familiar with and thus, I could identify myself into quite a few cases and symptoms. I’m a female and yes, I do consider internet a social tool; I get most information I need everyday on internet as a mass media (which is much more convenient than TV and newspapers). Internet addition is similar to other medical addictions in many aspects, like compulsive gambling, but it still possesses uniqueness as a communication tool, interactivity factor especially. The summarized tables of previous findings do help me have a clear understanding of its development and context. Missed sleep, missed meals and eventually time distortion, do a certain degree, happen to me and to many people around me, but I am not sure the situation is resulted from overloading work (internet required) or actual addition.
Internet could be an alternative but not a total substitute. “All or nothing” treatment cannot work since internet has been deeply rooted in life, as we cannot stop eating to cure eating disorders. Addictive cases differ and so are the treatments; flexible combination of therapies is needed. All of us, especially educators and parents, should be prepared for the behavioral change of students, children and ourselves. As the internet being neither good nor bad, appropriate and safe use of/attitude toward it is needed. In colleges, where student usually have easy access to internet and when students are looking for identify and relationship, administers and other campus professionals should raise awareness of internet addition and provide assistance to (possible) addicts. I am in the college context and most understand how serious the internet addition problem is. I’m personally very interested in cases of this period.
The paper sheds light on further research on internet addiction by drawing various perspectives from previous studies, serving a good start for people new to the issue and looking for possible research questions.
