The increasing use of computers and the internet - especially among young people - apart from its positive effects, sometimes leads to excessive and pathological use. The present study examined the relationship among the excessive use of the internet by university students, the alexithymia components and sociodemographic factors associated with internet users and their online activities. 515 university students from the University of Thessaly participated in the study. Participants anonymously completed: a) the Internet Addiction Test (IAT), b) the Toronto Alexithymia Test (TAS 20) and c) a questionnaire covering various aspects of internet use and demographic characteristics of internet users. Excessive use of the internet among Greek university students was studied within a multi-factorial context and was associated with the alexithymia and demographic factors in nonlinear correlations, forming thus a personalized emotional and demographic profile of the excessive internet users.
电脑和互联网的广泛使用——尤其是在年轻人中——除了其积极影响外，有时还会导致过度和病态的使用。本研究考察了大学生过度使用互联网、述情障碍成分以及与互联网使用者及其在线活动相关的社会人口因素之间的关系。来自塞萨利大学的 515 名大学生参与了这项研究。参与者匿名填写了以下内容：a) 网络成瘾测试（IAT），b) 多伦多述情障碍测试（TAS 20）和 c) 一份涵盖互联网使用和互联网使用者人口特征的各种方面的问卷。希腊大学生过度使用互联网是在多因素背景下进行研究的，并与述情障碍和人口因素呈非线性相关，从而形成了过度使用互联网者的个性化情感和人口特征。
