Abstract

There are few cross-cultural studies utilizing longitudinal analysis to explore problematic internet use (PIU), and almost none among adults. The present follow-up study compared three waves across 12-month period every six months and observed the natural course and trajectory of PIU in a European multi-country sample of adults from 11 countries (Finland, Germany, Italy, Spain, France, Switzerland, Hungary, Poland, UK, Norway, Belgium). A total of 139 participants (45.5% females) provided data across all three waves with an average age of 26.14 years (SD = 5.92). There were longitudinal effects in PIU, with statistical differences between at-risk users compared to healthy users in Waves 1 and 2, and Waves 1 and 3. The analyses of variance showed a longitudinal effect of waves on the PIU symptoms. PIU was significantly affected by time and type of user, with those classed as at-risk having higher scores than healthy users, although PIU decreased over time. In addition, the type of PIU detected in adults contained mild addictive symptoms. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that PIU was generally low among European adult population and tended to decrease over the one-year period, what contrasts with adolescent population findings.

成年人有问题地使用互联网:欧洲纵向研究。
利用纵向分析探讨有问题的互联网使用(PIU)的跨文化研究很少,而且几乎没有针对成年人的研究。本跟踪研究比较了每六个月一次、为期 12 个月的三次波次,观察了欧洲 11 个国家(芬兰、德国、意大利、西班牙、法国、瑞士、匈牙利、波兰、英国、挪威、比利时)成人样本中 PIU 的自然过程和轨迹。共有 139 名参与者(45.5% 为女性)提供了三次调查的数据,平均年龄为 26.14 岁(SD = 5.92)。PIU存在纵向效应,在第1波和第2波以及第1波和第3波中,高危用户与健康用户相比存在统计学差异。方差分析显示,波次对 PIU 症状有纵向影响。PIU 受时间和用户类型的明显影响,高危用户的得分高于健康用户,尽管随着时间的推移 PIU 有所下降。此外,成人检测到的 PIU 类型包含轻度成瘾症状。总之,这项研究表明,欧洲成年人的 PIU 值普遍较低,并且在一年时间内呈下降趋势,这与青少年的研究结果形成了鲜明对比。
