Few studies have addressed the issue of psychopathology and personality of individuals with problematic use of internet. In this study we research psychopathological symptoms, personality traits and predictive variables associated with problematic internet use. The study was conducted on a total of 343 students from four Italian Universities using Pathological Internet Use Scale, Big Five Questionnaire, and Symptom Check List 90 Revised. According to this study 52.7% of the sample shows a problematic internet use while only 7.6% don't suffer from any symptom. More than half of subjects admits to have got into arguments with a significant other over being online, and to have missed social engagements because of online activities. Subjects with problematic internet use scored higher in psychopathological scales. Low levels of Friendliness and Emotional Stability could predict the problematic use of internet. Problematic internet use may be associated with higher psychopathology levels and personality traits.
很少有研究探讨有问题的互联网使用个体的精神病理学和人格问题。在这项研究中，我们研究了与问题性互联网使用相关的精神病理学症状、人格特质和预测变量。这项研究共对来自意大利四所大学的 343 名学生进行了调查，使用了病理性互联网使用量表、大五人格问卷和症状清单 90 修订版。根据这项研究，样本中有 52.7%的人存在问题性互联网使用，而只有 7.6%的人没有任何症状。超过一半的受试者承认因为上网而与重要的他人发生争吵，并因为在线活动而错过了社交活动。有问题性互联网使用的受试者在精神病理学量表上的得分更高。友善度和情绪稳定性低可能会预测互联网的问题使用。问题性互联网使用可能与更高的精神病理学水平和人格特质有关。
