“…There is much evidence that substance addictions and behavioral addictions overlap in multiple areas, including comorbidity, course of disease, genetic and neurobiological bases, development of tolerance, and treatability [7,8,9]. However, there are numerous studies that point to certain specificities of every addiction [10,11,12,13].…”

“…С обзиром на то да зависност од интернета није уврштена у класификацију поремећаја која се примењује код нас, овај поремећај се веома различито дијагностикује. Припадност категорији адолесцената зависних од интернета потврђена је и резултатима на Тесту зависности од интернета (ТЗИ), који су указивали на присуство проблема услед коришћења интернета код ових испитаника, а чија је вредност била изнад критичне оцене од 40 [10,11]. Напомињемо да је примена овог теста била од велике вредности у склопу детаљније методологије адолесцената који су због проблема у вези са прекомерним коришћењем интернета упућени на лечење у здравствене установе, због чега сматрамо да је његова примена у даљим истраживањима од великог значаја.…”

“…Постоји много доказа да се зависности од супстанци и бихејвиоралне зависности преклапају у више области, укључујући коморбидитет, ток болести, генетске и неуробиолошке основе, развој толеранције и могућност лечења [7,8,9]. Међутим, постоје бројне студије које указују на одређене специфичности сваке зависности [10,11,12,13].…”

The discussion about whether the internet addiction disorder should be considered a primary addiction disorder or a secondary disorder due to other psychiatric illnesses is a very current topic. Although the term "addiction" has historically been associated with the pathological use of psychoactive substances, research over the past few decades indicates that various behaviors are also part of the spectrum of addiction. Accordingly, addictions to psychoactive substances and behavioral addictions overlap in several segments, but there are also certain differences between them. Taking into account these statements, the subject of this research was the analysis of the personality structure of Internet addicted adolescents, aimed at identifying if there are specific differences in certain personality dimensions between adolescents addicted to the Internet (reference group) and adolescents who abuse psychoactive substances, as well as in adolescents from the non-clinical population. The methodology was applied to a sample consisting of 125 respondents of both genders, aged 13 to 24, of whom 27 were from the clinical group of Internet addicts, 24 from the clinical group of psychoactive substance addicts, and 74 from the non-clinical population. A questionnaire was used for assessing Internet addiction (Internet Addiction Test) and a questionnaire for assessing the personality of adolescents (Belgrade Personality Inventory of Adolescents). The results indicate that we cannot talk about a specific profile that distinguishes respondents who are addicted to the Internet. However, despite the limitations, significant differences in certain dimensions indicate certain deviations between groups of adolescents with Internet addiction, addiction to psychoactive substances and the non-clinical population. Low research curiosity, poorly developed perseverance and goal orientation play a significant role in the aetiopathogenesis of Internet addicts. We conclude that the obtained results can have a significant role in solving the current dilemma whether Internet addiction disorder should be considered a primary addiction disorder or a secondary disorder due to other psychiatric diseases.

Although many studies have investigated the influencing factors of adolescents’ Internet gaming addiction, few have investigated the influence factor of exposure to domestic violence, and even fewer have used the General Strain Theory to explain the influence path of exposure to domestic violence on adolescents’ Internet gaming addiction. Based on the GST, this study sought to uncover further insights into the effect of exposure to family violence on adolescents’ Internet gaming addiction, and the mediating role of social control—specifically, parental attachment—and self-control in the association between exposure to family violence and adolescents’ Internet gaming addiction. Adopting a multi-stage cluster random sampling method, we conducted this study with 2,110 adolescents from Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province, China. The results suggest that adolescents’ exposure to domestic violence directly affects their addiction to Internet games and indirectly affects it by decreasing social control and self-control. The study not only supplements and improves the explanatory framework of General Strain Theory, but makes a significant contribution to research on the causes of Internet gaming addiction.
