Introduction
2005 World Cyber ​​Games Finals (a global online gaming tournament)
Internet addiction (also called cyberdependence, cyberaddiction, problematic use of the Internet (Internet is the global computer network that makes services available to the public…) or UPI, Internet addiction disorder and DID) would be a psychological disorder resulting in a need (Needs are at the level of the interaction between the individual and the environment. It is…) irresistible and obsessive to use the Internet.
The term Internet addiction was first used by American psychologist Kimberly Young at a conference of the American Psychological Association (APA) in Toronto in 1996.
It was Otto Fenichel (1949), who first raised the issue of addiction without drugs. However, it is a hoax produced by Dr. Ivan K. Goldberg: Internet addiction is a symptom (A symptom represents one of the subjective manifestations of a disease or a process…) and not a disorder strictly speaking. Dr. Goldberg was inspired by gambling addiction (Silver or silver metal is a chemical element with the symbol Ag — du…) for his description of hypothetical Internet addiction.
Alleged causes and symptoms
According to the American psychiatrist (A psychiatrist is a doctor specializing in psychiatry and psychotherapy, who…), Ivan K. Goldberg: “Internet addiction can determine the denial or avoidance of other problems of (Life is the given name:) current life”. Addictive behavior translates the socio-affective immaturity which determines the impossibility of building a real, solid psychosocial identity. The situation (In geography, the situation is a spatial concept allowing the relative location of a…) is amplified by the coexistence of a feeling of personal non-value, of non-recognition.
Cyberaddiction is characterized by the set (In set theory, a set intuitively designates a collection…) of problems related to the use of the tool (A tool is a finalized object used by a living being with the aim of increasing its…) IT (IT – contraction of information and automatic – is the field…) which will have a negative and destructive effect (In object-oriented programming, the destructor of a class is a launched method…) on the user.
We speak of Internet addiction when the symptoms appear:
Alleged psychological symptoms
the feeling of well-being (well-being or well-being is a state that affects health, pleasure,…) and euphoria (euphoria (from the Greek euphoria) is a medical term designating an impression…) when using the Internet; inability to stop using the Internet; the need to increasingly increase the time (Time is a concept developed by human beings to apprehend the…) Internet use (the patient gets up at night to use the Internet); lack of time for family, friends or other hobbies; attendance or performance problems at work or school; lying to family or friends regarding time spent on the Internet; depression or irritability when the person is deprived of the Internet.
Alleged physical symptoms
Dry eyes Migraine headaches Back pain (In anatomy, in vertebrate animals including humans, the back is the part…) Carpal tunnel syndrome (A syndrome is a set of clinical signs and symptoms that a patient is susceptible to…) Carpal syndrome (A tunnel is an underground gallery providing passage to a communication channel (pathway) Irregular or skipped meals Poor hygiene (Hygiene is a set of measures intended to prevent infections and…) Insomnia or changes in the cycle of sleep (Sleep is a natural recurring state of loss of consciousness (but without loss of…)
American and German psychiatrists observe a very high frequency of this disorder: the Berliner Zeitung advances the figure (A figure is a symbol used to represent numbers.) of one million (One million (1,000,000) is the natural number following nine hundred and ninety-nine…) for Germany. In France, the problem is beginning to be described especially among adolescents, who are very fond of video games (Video brings together all the techniques, technology, allowing recording as well as…) in the network (A computer network is a set of equipment linked together to exchange…) and conversations (chat or visio-chats).
Dependency tests
Although cyberaddiction is a recent disorder, certain tests exist to determine in an individual (The Wiktionary is a free and free dictionary project similar to Wikipedia (both…) if his behavior is obsessive and constitutes cyberaddiction. It should therefore be noted that generalities are difficult to establish given the recent nature of the addiction. The results of these tests must be considered with caution.
Here is the Orman Test
1. Do you spend more time online than you initially thought? YES NO
2. Do you mind limiting the time spent (The past is primarily a concept related to time: it is made up of the whole…) on the Internet? YES NO
3. Have any friends or family members complained regarding the time you spend on the Internet? YES NO
4. Do you find it difficult to go offline for a few days? YES NO
5. Has your work performance, or personal relationships, suffered because of the time you spend on the Internet? YES NO
6. Are there areas of the Internet, particular sites, that you find difficult to avoid? YES NO
7. Do you have trouble controlling the impulse to buy products or services related to the Internet? YES NO
8. Have you tried, without success, to limit the use of the Internet? YES NO
9. Do you deviate a lot from your fields of action and satisfaction, because of the Internet? YES NO
From 1 to 3 positive answers, there is a small tendency to become Internet addictive.
Between 4-6 positive responses, there is a chance of developing this addictive behavior.
Finally, between 7 to 9 positive answers, there is a strong tendency to become dependent.
