Abstract

Internet Addiction (IA) has been a significant topical area for research since 1996. Considerable research has been done on IA across many nations around the world. Hence, there currently exists a rich body of literature addressing various aspects of IA. The study described in this report seeks to analyze the key findings expressed in the existing IA literature. In doing so, this study addresses four specific concerns relating to: a) reviewing various definitions of IA, b) growth of IA research over time in different parts of the world, c) the major themes identified in the literature, and d) future opportunities for research into IA. These concerns were addressed using a rigorous literature analysis involving 64 studies on IA selected from various scholarly sources. The outcomes of literature analysis are discussed in detail and some useful observations and insightful reflections are made. The findings reported in this study are useful because it offers a number of important recommendations for future research in this area.

网络成瘾:结构化文献综述及未来研究方向

自1996年以来，网络成瘾(IA)一直是一个重要的研究领域。世界上许多国家都对IA进行了大量的研究。因此，目前存在丰富的文献体，涉及IA的各个方面。本报告中描述的研究旨在分析现有IA文献中表达的主要发现。在此过程中，本研究解决了四个具体问题，涉及到:a)回顾IA的各种定义，b)随着时间的推移，世界不同地区IA研究的增长，c)文献中确定的主要主题，以及d)未来IA研究的机会。这些问题是通过严格的文献分析来解决的，这些文献分析涉及从各种学术来源中选择的64项关于IA的研究。对文献分析的结果进行了详细的讨论，并提出了一些有益的观察和深刻的思考。本研究报告的发现是有用的，因为它为该领域的未来研究提供了许多重要的建议。
