Problematic Internet Use in the Czech Republic: Comparison Across Age Groups

Original language description

Problematic Internet use is often described in psychological studies as online addiction or Internet addictive behavior. Although problematic Internet does not have its own diagnoses, there are several scales evaluating the prevalence of this phenomenonin population. In our research, we developed a scale evaluating the following dimensions of excessive Internet use: cognitive and behavioural salience, tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, conflicts, and problems with limiting time online. Our scale is basedmainly on research from Beard and Wolf (2001) who have modified DSM IV criteria for Internet use. The survey study conducted within the World Internet Project in the Czech Republic was carried out in September 2008 using face-to-face interviews. The survey addressed 2,215 respondents of 12 years of age or more, of which 1,470 were Internet users.
