“…Extraversion has been defined as the intensity and volume of people’s social interaction, and it indicates whether people can act with competition and self-confidence ( McCrae and Costa, 1997 ). According to the aforementioned definition of extraversion, individuals with increased social interaction and higher level of competition or self-confidence exhibit a lower level of Internet addiction, which is consistent with previous findings ( Baturay and Toker, 2019 ). Additionally, previous studies have reported that individuals with social problems, which was negatively related with extraversion, demonstrated more maladaptive cognitions with regard to Internet use ( Davis, 2001 ; Tian et al, 2015 ; Gao et al, 2019 ).…”

The present study examined the longitudinal association among the Big Five personality traits, maladaptive cognitions, and Internet addiction during the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 481 Chinese university students (247 men; mean age = 20.31 years) were surveyed three times (interval of 1 month) by using the Chinese version of the Big Five Personality Traits Scale, Maladaptive Cognitions Scale, and Internet Addiction Scale. The results of a cross-lagged panel analysis highlighted that (i) extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness were negatively associated with maladaptive cognitions and Internet addiction, whereas neuroticism was found to be positively associated with maladaptive cognitions and Internet addiction across time; (ii) associations among the Big Five personality traits, maladaptive cognitions, and Internet addiction were dynamic and bidirectional; and (iii) maladaptive cognitions played mediating roles in extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, openness, and Internet addiction across time. The Big Five personality traits, maladaptive cognitions, and Internet addiction predicted each other across time, and maladaptive cognitions were likely to be the key mediating factor in the associations between the Big Five personality traits and Internet addiction, which supported and expanded the Davis’ cognitive–behavioral model.

“…İnternet kullanımını davranışsal bozukluklarla ilişkilendiren tanımlar, bir tür dürtü kontrol bozukluğuna atıfta bulunurlar. İnternet kullanımı, ilişkiler, meslek, okul, zihinsel veya fiziksel sağlık gibi yaşam alanlarını olumsuz etkilemeye başladığında patolojik hale gelmekte; kendine veya başkalarına zararlı bazı eylemlere dönüşebilmektedir (4).…”

“…Por tanto, la gestión del tiempo conectado y la repercusión que esto tiene en la vida personal, académica y social (dimensión 1) está relacionada con el conflicto interpersonal y emocional que se da por un uso obsesivo de Internet (dimensión 2). Basándonos en los resultados, y en línea con estudios anteriores (Anderson et al, 2017;Baturay y Toker, 2019;Servidio, 2017) el fenómeno del UPI refleja la existencia de dos factores claramente diferenciados, pero entre los que hay una alta correlación. Lo que indica que los ítems de ambos factores o dimensiones son válidos para ayudarnos a clasificar las conductas que definen un UPI entre los estudiantes universitarios.…”
