The Prevalence of Internet Addiction in Pre-Service Teachers of Generation X And Y

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Excessive and problematic use of the internet is a growing concern in the current world. In general, addiction to the internet is defined as excessive use of the internet, which brings psychological, social, work or school complications to life. Students are the most endangered population by internet addiction because they are encouraged to use computers and mobile internet devices. The topic of this study is attracting growing attention, especially in the time when a number of hours spent online increased tremendously due to the pandemic situation that has caused the transfer of many activities into the online world. Different studies show a relatively wide range of Internet addiction prevalence and it is necessary to specify if the results are associated with this concrete diagnostic disorder or only signs of potential risky behaviour. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of internet addiction among pre-service teachers belonging to Generation X and Y. The partial goal of the study was to find out if there are any differences in the Internet addiction between the pre- service teachers belonging to the Generation X and Y. The participants were 558 pre-service teachers aged 19–26. To determine empirical data, the following research methods were used: Young Internet Addiction Test (IAT) and socio-demographic questionnaire. The findings show that out of 168 students belonging to Generation Z, 29,2 % were mild addicts, 7,1 % were moderate addicts and 63,1 % were not addicted to internet use. There were no students who scored 80 point or higher to be considered as a severe addict. Similarly, the students belonging to Generation Y scored as following: 72, 8 % of the students were no addicted at all, 20, 3% were considered as mild addicts and 6, 7% belonged in the modest range. There were no student who scored more than 80 points or higher
