As the world's fastest growing "addiction", Internet addiction is still controversial. The present study aimed to examine the potential personality predictors of Internet addicts.
Eight hundred and sixty-eight students were tested using the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire after they had just entered university. Two years later, 49 were found to be addicted to the Internet as defined by high Internet addiction test scores. Comparisons of means and logistic regression analysis were used to explore their relationship.
Students addicted to the Internet showed higher Neuroticism/Stability scores, higher Psychoticism/Socialization scores, and lower Lie scores than their normal peers before their addiction. Regression results showed that Internet addiction was accounted by three independent variables: Neuroticism/Stability, Psychoticism/Socialization, and Lie.
These results suggest that the risk personality traits of Internet addiction include neuroticism, psychoticism, and immaturity.
作为世界上发展最快的“瘾”,网络成瘾仍然存在争议。本研究旨在探讨网络成瘾者的潜在人格预测因素。
868 名学生在刚进入大学后接受了艾森克人格问卷测试。两年后,根据高网络成瘾测试分数,发现 49 人对互联网上瘾。采用均值比较和逻辑回归分析来探讨两者之间的关系。
与正常同龄人相比,网络成瘾的学生表现出更高的神经质/稳定性分数、更高的精神质/社交性分数和更低的说谎分数。回归结果表明,网络成瘾由三个独立变量决定:神经质/稳定性、精神质/社交性和说谎。
这些结果表明,网络成瘾的风险人格特征包括神经质、精神质和不成熟。
