This is one of the few studies that examines adolescent Internet addiction (IA) among Middle Eastern population. The purpose of this study is to determine whether adolescents' family and school environments play a role in their Internet Addiction.
We conduced a survey that included 479 adolescents in Qatar. The survey collected demographic data, the Internet Addiction Diagnostic Questionnaire (IADQ), the Brief Family Relationship Scale (BFRS) and questions from the WHO Health Behavior in School-aged Children (HBSC) survey that assess school environment, academic performance, teacher support, and peer support of the adolescents. Factorial analysis, multiple regression, and logistic regression were used for statistical analysis.
Family environment and school environment were negative and significant predictors of adolescent Internet addiction. The prevalence rate was 29.64%.
Results imply that interventions and digital parenting programs should not only target adolescents, but also include entities in the developmental environment of adolescents, i.e. their family and school.
这是为数不多的针对中东地区青少年网络成瘾（IA）的研究之一。本研究的目的是确定青少年的家庭和学校环境是否在其网络成瘾中起作用。
我们对卡塔尔的479名青少年进行了一项调查。该调查收集了人口统计学数据、网络成瘾诊断问卷（IADQ）、简短家庭关系量表（BFRS）以及世界卫生组织学龄儿童健康行为（HBSC）调查中的问题，这些问题评估了青少年的学校环境、学业成绩、教师支持和同伴支持。采用因子分析、多元回归和逻辑回归进行统计分析。
家庭环境和学校环境是青少年网络成瘾的负面且显著的预测因素。患病率为29.64%。
结果表明，干预措施和数字育儿计划不仅应针对青少年，还应包括青少年发展环境中的实体，即他们的家庭和学校。
