The present study reviewed current trends in the literature on problematic Internet use. The review included a total of 48 studies published within the last two years and covered by the Web of Science and Scopus databases. Despite frequently investigated in the literature, results of the studies suggest that there is still much to be unveiled regarding problematic Internet use and its relation to gender and cultural differences. In terms of gender, although more studies show that men are further vulnerable to problematic Internet use symptoms, results differ regarding the moderator effect(s) or differences in various cultural settings. Recent studies mostly employed quantitative methods; but, it is also noted that problematic Internet use studies increasingly focus on meta-analysis and literature reviews. Research also tends to investigate large-sample cross-cultural groups, but their results are far from achieving consensus. Studies mostly used cross-sectional approaches with self-report instruments and focused on adolescents and young adults who were students.
本研究回顾了当前文献中关于网络问题使用的趋势。综述共纳入了过去两年内在 Web of Science 和 Scopus 数据库中发表的 48 项研究。尽管在文献中经常被研究，但研究结果表明，关于网络问题使用及其与性别和文化差异的关系，仍有很多尚未揭示。就性别而言，尽管更多的研究表明男性更容易出现网络问题使用症状，但在各种文化环境中的调节作用或差异方面，结果存在差异。最近的研究大多采用定量方法；但也注意到，网络问题使用的研究越来越多地关注元分析和文献综述。研究也倾向于调查大样本跨文化群体，但他们的结果远未达成共识。研究大多采用横断面方法，使用自我报告工具，主要针对青少年和青年学生。
