Abstract. Problematic Internet Use (PIU) is one of the negative effects of the internet use, but we can rarely find publications on PIU of Indonesian's college students, especially college students in Jakarta. The purpose of this research was to describe PIU among college students in Jakarta. The Generalized Problematic Internet Use Scale 2 was used to collect data of a total of 474 college students from three universities in Jakarta. The results showed that: a) For preference for online social interaction symptoms, participants preferred to do online social interaction rather than face to face interaction, especially when face to face interactions were not possible. b) For mood regulation symptoms, participants used internet to regulate their negative feelings. c) For cognitive preoccupation symptoms, participants tended to have obsessive thought patterns for their activity on internet. d) For compulsive internet use symptoms, participants found it difficult to restrict their internet use. e) For negative outcome symptoms, online activities of participants did not have negative influence on their daily routines. Furthermore, the results showed no significant differences of the PIU symptoms across gender and internet use duration. Taken together, the results indicated moderate level of problematic internet use in our sample.Keywords: college students, gpius 2, problematic internet use, Jakarta.Abstrak. Problematic Internet Use (PIU) adalah salah satu efek negatif penggunaan internet, tetapi kita jarang menemukan publikasi mengenai PIU pada mahasiswa di Indonesia, terutama pada mahasiswa di Jakarta. Untuk itu, penelitian ini bertujuan memberikan informasi mengenai gambaran PIU pada mahasiswa di Jakarta. Generalized Problematic Internet Use Scale 2 digunakan untuk mengumpulkan data dari total 474 mahasiswa dari tiga universitas di Jakarta. Hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa: a) Gejala preferensi untuk interaksi sosial secara daring menunjukkan bahwa partisipan lebih menyukai interaksi sosial secara daring daripada interaksi tatap muka, terutama ketika interaksi tatap muka tidak mungkin dilakukan. b) Untuk gejala regulasi mood, partisipan menggunakan internet untuk mengatur perasaan negatif yang mereka rasakan. c) Untuk gejala cognitive preoccupation, partisipan cenderung memiliki pola pemikiran obsesif terkait aktivitas mereka di internet. d) Gejala penggunaan internet kompulsif menunjukkan bahwa partisipan cenderung sulit untuk membatasi penggunaan internet mereka. e) Gejala dampak negatif menunjukkan bahwa aktivitas online partisipan tidak memberikan pengaruh negatif pada rutinitas sehari-hari mereka. Lebih lanjut, hasil penelitian ini tidak menunjukkan adanya perbedaan gejala PIU yang signifikan, baik antar jenis kelamin maupun lama penggunaan internet. Secara bersamasama, hasil penelitian ini mengindikasikan adanya PIU pada tingkat moderat yang dialami partisipan penelitian ini.Kata kunci: Jakarta, gpius 2, mahasiswa, problematic internet use (piu) 1 Korespondensi mengenai isi artikel ini dapat dilakukan melalui...

“…Baste decir que en la actualidad ni el DSM-5 ni la CIE-10 incluyen una categoría diagnóstica específica referida a la posible adicción a Internet o ciberdependencia. Cuando se hace referencia al uso peligroso de Internet la heterogeneidad terminológica es manifiesta: adicción a Internet (Chou y Hsiao, 2000;Goldberg, 1995;Kandell, 1998;Young, 1998a), uso poco sano o enfermizo (Scherer, 1997), uso compulsivo (Greenfield, 1999;Meerkerk, Van den Eijnden y Garretsen, 2006), uso patológico (Davis, 2001;Morahan-Martin y Schumacher, 2000), uso problemático (Caplan, 2002;Shapira et al, 2003), uso excesivo (Hansen, 2002), uso no regulado (LaRose, Lin y Eastin, 2003) o dependencia de Internet (Chen, Tarn y Han, 2004). El uso de una expresión concreta suele reflejar una concepción particular del problema.…”

Resumen: Investigadores e instituciones han venido mostrando en los úl-timos años una creciente preocupación por el uso de Internet entre los adolescentes. Su impacto a nivel psicológico y conductual se traduce a menudo en la aparición de conductas de riesgo, fracaso escolar y problemas familiares. Habida cuenta del interés que el tema despierta a diferentes niveles, este trabajo se plantea con una doble intención: (1) disponer de datos que permitan conocer desde un punto de vista descriptivo cuáles son las actitudes, percepciones y hábitos de uso de Internet y las redes sociales entre los adolescentes y, (2) profundizar en su comprensión, contribuyendo así al diseño de estrategias que favorezcan un uso más racional y saludable de la Red. Sobre una encuesta a la población de escolares de Enseñanza Secundaria Obligatoria de la comunidad gallega, en la que participaron un total de 2339 individuos, los resultados obtenidos permiten constatar el alto grado de implantación de Internet en la población objeto de estudio y calibrar con datos empíricos la magnitud del problema. A pesar de que las cifras obtenidas no justifican una actitud alarmista, sí advierten de la necesidad de poner en marcha planes de acción concretos de manera inmediata. Palabras clave: Internet; redes sociales; adolescentes; nuevas tecnologías; ciberdependencia.Title: Attitudes, perceptions and Internet and social networks use among Galician (Spain) teens. Abstract: Researchers and institutions have shown an increasing concern about how adolescents might misuse the Internet. Its psychological and behavioral impact often translate into the emergence of risk behaviors, school failure and family problems. Given the interest that this issue has generated on an increasingly wider scale, the aim of this paper is twofold:(1) to provide data to determine, from a descriptive point of view, what exactly are the attitudes, perceptions and habits of adolescent Internet and social networks use and (2) a deeper understanding of the issue, contributing to the design of prevention and control strategies which will encourage a more rational and healthy Net use. On the basis of a survey of Compulsory Secondary School students from Galicia, which involved a total of 2339 individuals, the results obtained demonstrate the high level of Internet use penetration among the studied population and make it possible to gauge the magnitude of the problem with empirical data. Although the obtained numbers do not justify an alarmist attitude, they do indicate the need to implement specific action plans immediately. Key words: Internet; social networks; adolescents; new technologies; ciberdependence. IntroducciónHoy en día resulta difícil pensar en una sociedad sin las nuevas tecnologías. La telefonía móvil, Internet y las redes sociales tienen una presencia en nuestras vidas que no podría-mos imaginar hace tan solo una década. La realidad pone de manifiesto el papel que dichas herramientas han adquirido en el día a día de niños, adolescentes, jóvenes, adultos y mayores. Los dat...

Background and aims: Cybersex addiction is discussed controversially, while empirical evidence is widely missing. With respect to its mechanisms of development and maintenance Brand et al. (2011) assume that reinforcement due to cybersex should lead to the development of cue-reactivity and craving explaining recurrent cybersex use in the face of growing but neglected negative consequences. To support this hypothesis, two experimental studies were conducted. Methods: In a cue-reactivity paradigm 100 pornographic cues were presented to participants and indicators of sexual arousal and craving were assessed. The first study aimed at identifying predictors of cybersex addiction in a freely recruited sample of 171 heterosexual males. The aim of the second study was to verify the findings of the first study by comparing healthy (n = 25) and problematic (n = 25) cybersex users. Results: The results show that indicators of sexual arousal and craving to Internet pornographic cues predicted tendencies towards cybersex addiction in the first study. Moreover, it was shown that problematic cybersex users report greater sexual arousal and craving reactions resulting from pornographic cue presentation. In both studies, the number and subjective quality of real-life sexual contacts were not associated to cybersex addiction. Discussion: The results support the gratification hypothesis, which assumes reinforcement, learning mechanisms, and craving to be relevant processes in the development and maintenance of cybersex addiction. Poor or unsatisfying sexual real-life contacts cannot sufficiently explain cybersex addiction. Conclusions: Positive reinforcement in terms of gratification plays a major role in cybersex addiction.
