Typology of Czech University Students by their Internet Addiction

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The paper describes the first part of a research study aimed at addiction to the internet, computer games, and online communication among students of teacher training courses at Palacký University Olomouc, Czech Republic. The research method was the standardized CIAS scale. Addictive behaviour among students in relation to computer games was assessed by a questionnaire designed by the authors. Moreover, selected online activities and other data were analysed. The research sample in the preliminary research comprised 146 students of various study programmes. Internet addiction was observed in 2.7% of students. A higher degree of internet addiction was observed in men (score 44) and younger students (42), but the difference was not statistically significant. The Generalized k-Means Cluster Analysis suggested two clusters by respondents’ addiction. The first cluster comprised about 26% of students, mostly men, who showed a higher internet addiction score (46) and a higher computer game score (11). Each day on average they played for 98 minutes, of which 55 minutes was online. They did not pursue leisure activities, spent less time communicating using their mobile phone, and read in their free time. The second cluster comprised about 74% of students, mostly women, who show a higher internet addiction score (39) and a lower computer game score (3). Each day on average they played for 16 minutes, of which 9 minutes was online. They pursued leisure activities, spent more time communicating using their mobile phone, and went out with friends in their free time.
