“…However, males might be more susceptible to excessive playing, especially in Massive Multiplayer Online Games (Hou, 2008; Wang and Wang, 2008). For SPIU, male addicts were more likely to engage in online game playing, gambling and sex (Wong et al, 2013; Dufour et al, 2016), while female addicts were more likely to engage in online shopping and social networking (Seock and Bailey, 2008; Pujazonzazik and Park, 2010). Online gaming is not only a youth-culture phenomenon, but is also a component of college social life.…”

“…Při vyhodnocení hypotézy H1 bylo zjištěno, že časová míra využívání internetu je téměř totožná u mužů (průměr 190,7 minut denně) i žen (průměr 180,9 minut denně). Porovnáním výsledků se zmíněnou studií zjistíme, že středoškoláci v České republice tráví na internetu více času, přibližně o 3 hodiny více za týden, přičemž ve světě se týdenní průměrná doba užívání internetu pohybuje v rozmezí 8-15 hodin (Dufour et al, 2016). Zároveň v našem výzkumu nebyl prokázán genderový rozdíl ve využívání internetu, který se u kanadských adolescentů prokázal.…”
