“…These findings are congruent with previous results reported in the literature on problematic internet use (e.g., [21,23,18,19,22,20]). In their meta-analysis, Kotov et al [61] found that in the case of adults, high neuroticism (which is equivalent to low emotional stability) and low conscientiousness were also associated with anxiety, depression, and substance use disorders.…”

“…This association is also found in research assessing neuroticism by questionnaires based on (i) Eysenck's three-factor theory (e.g., [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33]) and (ii) Zuckerman's five-factor model (e.g., [34]). Similarly, studies have also reported an association between low agreeableness and internet addiction (e.g., [21,23,18,20]) and low conscientiousness and internet addiction (e.g., [18,22,20]). …”

“…Some studies have demonstrated a positive relationship with more symptoms of internet addiction being associated with higher extraversion (e.g., [21,18,20]). However, another study reported a negative association with a higher level of problematic internet use being correlated with higher introversion [22].…”

“…In general, the relationship between neuroticism and problematic internet use appears the most established. Neuroticism has been positively associated with (i) problematic internet use in all empirical research to date in correlational studies (e.g., [18][19][20]), (ii) comparison of groups of internet addicts and controls (e.g., [21,22]), and (iii) regression analyses (e.g., [23,19]). This association is also found in research assessing neuroticism by questionnaires based on (i) Eysenck's three-factor theory (e.g., [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33]) and (ii) Zuckerman's five-factor model (e.g., [34]).…”

Abstract:I propose a paradigm shift for health care, as there is an urgent need for i) continuous (semi-)automatic medical checkups, ii) cost reduction, and iii) cure for the 21st century black plague (i.e., stress-related diseases) are very much needed. To realize this ICT's Paradox has to be solved. On the one hand, ICT can cause i) musculoskeletal problems, ii) vision problems, iii) headache, iv) obesity, v) stress disorders (e.g., burn out), vi) metabolic issues, vii) addiction (e.g., to games, social media, and Internet), viii) sleeping problems, ix) social isolation, and x) an unrealistic world view. On the other hand, ICT claims to provide these problems' solutions. Consequently, health informatics needs to adopt a holistic approach, improve its fragile theoretical frameworks, and handle the incredible variance we all show. As a remedy, I propose to take up the challenge to next-generation models of personality, as they are a crucial determinant in people's stress coping style.

Objectives Internet addiction (IA) has been associated with widespread brain alterations. Functional connectivity (FC) and network analysis results related to IA are inconsistent between studies, and how network hubs change is not known. The aim of this study was to evaluate functional and topological networks using an unbiased minimum spanning tree (MST) analysis on electroencephalography (EEG) data in IA and healthy control (HC) college students. Methods In this study, Young's internet addiction test was used as an IA severity measure. EEG recordings were obtained in IA ( n = 30) and HC participants ( n = 30), matched for age and sex, during rest. The phase lag index (PLI) and MST were applied to analyze FC and network topology. We expected to obtain evidence of underlying alterations in functional and topological networks related to IA. Results IA participants showed higher delta FC between left‐side frontal and parieto‐occipital areas compared to the HC group ( p < 0.001), global MST measures revealed a more star‐like network in IA participants in the upper alpha and beta bands, and the occipital brain region was relatively less important in the IA relative to the HC group in the lower band. The correlation results were consistent with the MST results: higher IA severity correlated with higher Max degree and kappa, and lower eccentricity and diameter. Conclusions Functional networks of the IA group were characterized by increased FC, a more random organization, and a decrease of relative functional importance of the visual processing area. Taken together, these alterations can help us understand the influence of IA to brain mechanism.
