Internet addiction (IA) has been explored worldwide and involves some features that might harm social, psychological, and functional aspects. The vulnerability of adolescents might result in some addictive behaviors, and the Internet is one of them. The aim of this systematic review was to identify empirical studies that have been done to explore instruments that have been used to assess IA and to verify what variables and comorbidities are related to IA in adolescents, including executive functions, such as attention. To accomplish our aim, a systematic search was conducted in the following databases: PubMed, Web of Science, and PsycINFO. Some inclusion and exclusion criteria were used to select the studies and 44 in total were analyzed independently. The results showed that the most used instrument to assess IA is the Young's Internet Addiction Test. A few studies have been developed in the Western world, and most of them have analyzed attention bias in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and non-ADHD groups. Furthermore, other variables have been widely explored in the studies, such as depression, sleeping patterns, body weight, aggressiveness, and other addictive substances.
网络成瘾(IA)已在全球范围内得到研究,涉及一些可能损害社交、心理和功能方面的特征。青少年的脆弱性可能导致一些成瘾行为,而互联网就是其中之一。本系统综述的目的是确定已进行的探索用于评估 IA 的工具的实证研究,并验证与青少年 IA 相关的变量和共病,包括注意力等执行功能。为了实现我们的目标,在以下数据库中进行了系统搜索:PubMed、Web of Science 和 PsycINFO。使用了一些纳入和排除标准来选择研究,总共分析了 44 项研究。结果表明,用于评估 IA 的最常用工具是 Young 的互联网成瘾测试。少数研究是在西方世界进行的,其中大多数分析了注意力缺陷/多动障碍(ADHD)和非 ADHD 组的注意力偏差。此外,在这些研究中还广泛探讨了其他变量,如抑郁、睡眠模式、体重、攻击性和其他成瘾物质。
