In order to find the answers; a questionnaire prepared by resarchers and Young Internet Addiction Test- Short Form (YIAT-SF) was used on ‘Health Services Vocational High School’ students, in this study. 3.4 % of students were found to have internet addiction and the average internet usage was found to be 5 hours daily. When students were asked to enumerate the internet sites they use, the result was: social media, news sites, movie and series sites, educational and informational content sites, play sites, e-mail, shopping sites, and sexual content sites in order of usage preferance. While social media was preferred by 79.4% in the first place, educational content sites were determined to be preferred by 5.7% in the first place among others. The second most frequently used sites by students were movies and series (22.8%). Educational / informational content (20.2 %) sites were the fifth preferred sites in the preference order.

“…Various hypotheses were formulated by conducting an extensive literature review and empirical evidence is presented to support these relationships. In the past, researchers and scholars have investigated PUI and its various terrifying facets (Ioannidis et al, 2021;Ioannidis et al, 2020;Cheng et al, 2018;Mingoia et al, 2017;Sari and Aydin, 2014). However, a study that connects PUI with so many different variables is rare to find.…”

Purpose With the rapid improvement in digital infrastructure, the popularity of digital devices and smartphones in every pocket, the yearning to stay connected with others has increased manifold, especially in youngsters. This has raised multiple concerns primarily related to the problematic usage of the internet (PUI). The current research study aims to scrutinize the association between PUI, psychological and mental health (PMH), social media fatigue (SMF), fear of missing out (FOMO), desire to disconnect (DD) and its relation with a novel phenomenon of joy of missing out (JOMO). Design/methodology/approach The present research study embraces the empirical research method through quantitative analysis. The proposed theoretical model was empirically tested using primary data, collected through a self-designed structured questionnaire. The study sample included individuals between 16 and 39 years of age as these are the most active demographics on social media. The model is empirically tested with the help of structural equation modeling applied using software IBM AMOS 20.0 and SPSS 22.0. Initially, first-order confirmatory factor analysis was conducted, to measure and test the fit indices of the proposed model. Secondly, path analysis using structural equation modeling was carried out for the model. Findings Empirical synthesis of this research shows that PUI significantly and positively impacts mental and psychological health, FOMO and SMF. Also, SMF significantly and positively affects the DD which significantly and positively affects the JOMO. However, as depicted by the results of this study, FOMO have no considerable impact on SMF. Originality/value A study that connects the PUI with PMH, SMF and FOMO is rare to find. Second, this study uses data collected from social media users of India in the age group of 16–39 years. This slice of the population is most active in internet, and internet-enabled platform and are scantly studied, especially in the Indian context. This makes the study more exciting and crucial.

“…La falta de actividad física también ha sido abordada por distintos trabajos que la asocian con un UPI (Cao et al, 2011;El Asam et al, 2019;Fernández-Villa et al, 2015;Kelley y Gruber, 2013;Park y Lee, 2017;Quesnel et al, 2018;Sari y Aydin, 2014;Tsitsika et al, 2016;Zheng et al, 2016). Principalmente, ha sido medida por el Índice de Masa Corporal (IMC) (35%) y por distintos instrumentos: Physical and Psychosomatic Health Questionnaire (PPHQ) (15%), GHQ-12 (15%), Multidimensional Sub-health Questionnaire of Adolescents (MSQA) (15%), The SF-36v2 Health Survey (15%), Exercise Dependence Scale (EDS) (15%).…”

El Uso Problemático de Internet (UPI) está siendo habitual entre los estudiantes universitarios. En este trabajo se propuso identificar las variables psicológicas y físicas asociadas al UPI y analizar su influencia en dichas variables. Se empleó una metodología de revisión sistemática con metanálisis, en las bases de datos Web of Science y Scopus. En la revisión se identificaron 51 estudios que incluyeron una muestra total de 136 760 sujetos. En cambio, para el metanálisis se identificaron 12 estudios. Los resultados mostraron que las principales variables psicológicas y físicas asociadas al UPI son la falta de autocontrol, ansiedad, baja autoestima, baja actividad física y baja autoeficacia académica. Sin embargo, el metanálisis recogió que sólo el UPI, donde se obtuvieron diferencias estadísticamente significativas, fue predictor de la ansiedad y baja autoestima. Por último, se discuten las implicaciones prácticas del trabajo y la necesidad de prevenir y educar en el buen uso de la tecnología.
