Internet addiction can seriously affect the social functioning and studies of college students in China but measures for addressing this problem have not yet been developed or tested.
Assess the personality characteristics of college students with internet addiction.
Two self-report scales, the Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire (TPQ) and the Chen Internet Addiction Scale (CIAS), were administered to a stratified random sample of 697 college students from colleges and vocational schools in Wenzhou, China. The characteristics of 48 subjects who meet Chen's criteria for internet addiction (score of 64 or greater out of 100 on the CIAS) were compared to those of 649 subjects who did not meet criteria for internet addiction.
The prevalence of internet addiction in the sample was 6.9% (95% CI=5.1-9.1%). Compared to students without internet addiction, those with internet addiction were more likely to be male, of Han ethnicity, to have a history of substance use (primarily tobacco and alcohol), and to be a student at a technical college. Students with internet addiction had higher mean (sd) scores on the novelty-seeking subscale of the TPQ [17.9 (1.2) v. 13.0 (1.6), t=16.75 p<0.001] and on the harm-avoidance subscale [17.2 (1.9) v. 14.6 (1.1), t=15.14, p<0.001] but lower scores on the reward-dependence subscale [14.6 (1.4) v. 18.3 (1.7), t=-7.64, p<0.001]. Logistic regression found that the most important independent predictors of internet addiction were Han ethnicity (OR= 5.52, 95% CI=2.00-15.32), male gender (4.40, 1.97-9.81), and substance use (1.08, 1.02-1.15). After adjustment for other variables personality measures were not significantly associated with internet addiction.
The prevalence of internet addiction among college students in Wenzhou is similar to that in other parts of China. Significant differences in the personality characteristics assessed by the TPQ between university students with and without internet addiction become non-significant after controlling for gender, ethnicity and substance use patterns.
网络成瘾会严重影响中国大学生的社交功能和学业，但针对这一问题的应对措施尚未得到开发或测试。
评估网络成瘾大学生的人格特征。
对来自中国温州高校和职业学校的697名大学生进行分层随机抽样，使用两个自陈量表，即三维人格问卷（TPQ）和陈氏网络成瘾量表（CIAS）。将48名符合陈氏网络成瘾标准（CIAS得分100分中64分及以上）的受试者的特征与649名不符合网络成瘾标准的受试者的特征进行比较。
样本中网络成瘾的患病率为6.9%（95%CI=5.1-9.1%）。与无网络成瘾的学生相比，有网络成瘾的学生更可能为男性、汉族、有物质使用史（主要是烟草和酒精），并且是技术学院的学生。有网络成瘾的学生在TPQ的新奇寻求子量表上的平均（标准差）得分更高[17.9（1.2）对13.0（1.6），t=16.75，p<0.001]，在伤害回避子量表上也是如此[17.2（1.9）对14.6（1.1），t=15.14，p<0.001]，但在奖赏依赖子量表上得分较低[14.6（1.4）对18.3（1.7），t=-7.64，p<0.001]。逻辑回归发现，网络成瘾最重要的独立预测因素是汉族（OR=5.52，95%CI=2.00-15.32）、男性（4.40，1.97-9.81）和物质使用（1.08，1.02-1.15）。在调整其他变量后，人格测量与网络成瘾无显著关联。
温州大学生网络成瘾的患病率与中国其他地区相似。在控制性别、种族和物质使用模式后，有和无网络成瘾的大学生在TPQ评估的人格特征上的显著差异变得不显著。
