Media have an influence on the human psyche similar to the addictive actions of psychoactive substances or gambling. Computer overuse is claimed to be a cause of psychiatric disturbances such as computer and Internet addiction. It has not yet been recognized as a disease, but it evokes increasing controversy and results in mental disorders commonly defined as computer and Internet addiction.
MATERIAL/METHODS: This study was based on a diagnostic survey in which 120 subjects participated. The participants were pupils of three kinds of schools: primary, middle, and secondary school (high school). Information for this study was obtained from a questionnaire prepared by the authors as well as the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the Psychological Inventory of Aggression Syndrome (IPSA-II).
he results confirmed that every fourth pupil was addicted to the Internet. Internet addiction was very common among the youngest users of computers and the Internet, especially those who had no brothers and sisters or came from families with some kind of problems. Moreover, more frequent use of the computer and the Internet was connected with higher levels of aggression and anxiety.
Because computer and Internet addiction already constitute a real danger, it is worth considering preventive activities to treat this phenomenon. It is also necessary to make the youth and their parents aware of the dangers of uncontrolled Internet use and pay attention to behavior connected with Internet addiction.
媒体对人类心理的影响类似于精神活性物质或赌博的成瘾行为。过度使用电脑被认为是导致诸如电脑和网络成瘾等精神障碍的一个原因。它尚未被认定为一种疾病，但引发了越来越多的争议，并导致通常被定义为电脑和网络成瘾的精神障碍。
材料/方法：本研究基于一项诊断性调查，有120名受试者参与。参与者是来自三种学校的学生：小学、初中和高中。本研究的信息来自作者编制的问卷以及状态-特质焦虑量表（STAI）和攻击综合征心理量表（IPSA-II）。
结果证实，每四个学生中就有一个沉迷于网络。网络成瘾在最年轻的电脑和网络使用者中非常普遍，尤其是那些没有兄弟姐妹或来自有某种问题家庭的人。此外，更频繁地使用电脑和网络与更高水平的攻击性和焦虑有关。
由于电脑和网络成瘾已经构成了一种真正的危险，值得考虑开展预防活动来应对这一现象。还需要让年轻人及其父母意识到无节制使用网络的危害，并关注与网络成瘾相关的行为。
