“…A large number of scales were developed and used for internet addiction in studies. Examples of such scales include Young's 'Internet Addiction Test -IAT' (Young 1998b), 'Diagnostic Questionnaire for Internet Addiction -YDQ' (Petersen et al 2009), 'Pathological Internet Use Scale -PIUS' (Johansson and Götestam 2004), 'Chinese Internet Addiction Scale-Revision -CIAS-R' (Tsai et al 2009) and 'Distinguishing Characteristics of Internet Addiction -DC-IA-C' (Ko et al 2009). In a trial systematically investigating the psychometric aspects of the Internet Addiction Test -IAT, 6 factors came to the fore, which are salience, excessive use, neglecting work, anticipation, lack of control and neglecting social life.…”

Social anxiety was compared between online and real-life interaction in a sample of 2,348 college students. Severity of social anxiety in both real-life and online interaction was tested for associations with depression, Internet addiction, Internet activity type (gaming versus chatting), and scores on Behavioral Inhibition System (BIS)/Behavioral Activation System (BAS) scales. The results showed that social anxiety was lower when interacting online than when interacting offline. Depression, Internet addiction, and high BIS and BAS scores were associated with high social anxiety. The social anxiety decreased more in online interaction among subjects with high social anxiety, depression, BIS, and BAS. This result suggests that the Internet has good potential as an alternative medium for delivering interventions for social anxiety. Further, the effect of BIS on social anxiety is decreased in online interaction. More attention should be paid for BIS when the treatment for social anxiety is delivered online.

Recibido 10 de setiembre del 2015-Aceptado 26 de noviembre del 2015 ResumenEste trabajo pretendió realizar un diagnóstico exploratorio acerca del uso que los estudiantes hacían de internet en una universidad particular mexicana. Al mismo tiempo este estudio validó el Internet Addiction Test (IAT) de Kimberley Young, originalmente elaborado y validado en inglés, aplicado a una muestra de 881 estudiantes universitarios de diferentes facultades y carreras. Los resultados mostraron que (a) 373 estudiantes hacían poco uso de internet (42.34%), (b) 458 estudiantes fueron clasificados como usuarios promedio (51.99%), (c) 43 estudiantes mostraron problemas ocasionales o frecuentes (4.88%) y (d) 7 estudiantes mostraron problemas significativos (0.79%) con el uso de internet. El análisis factorial, basado en la rotación Varimax con autovalores superiores a uno, mostró que los 20 ítems del IAT se agruparon en tres factores que explicaron el 60.88% de la varianza. El nivel de confiabilidad medido por el alfa de Cronbach fue de .913.
