The impact of early parenting bonding on young adults' Internet addiction, through the mediation effects of negative relating to others and sadness

Internet use among university students: A reason for concern?

“…This finding corresponds with studies among students in Greece, India, Iran and Mexico (cf. Khadzaei et al, 2017;Capetillo-Ventura & Juárez-Treviño, 2015;Kawa & Shafi, 2015;Tsimtsiou et al, 2015;Kalaitzaki & Birtchnell, 2014;Salehi et al, 2014). The present study flagged a relatively high prevalence of two constructs of PIU, namely 'escape from problems' and 'loss of control'.…”

Parental mental health and Internet Addiction in adolescents

“…Among these, there is a growing volume of studies in the literature on the relationship between familial and parental factors and IA among adolescents (Huang et al, 2010;Jang & Ji, 2012;Kalaitzaki & Birtchnell, 2014;Kwon, Chung, & Lee, 2011;Lam, Peng, Mai, & Jing, 2009;Li, Garland, & Howard;2014;Lin, Lin, & Wu, 2009;Liu, Fang, Deng, & Zhang, 2012;Park, Kim, & Cho, 2008;Tsitsika et al, 2011;Van den Eijnden, Spijkerman, Vermulst, & Van Rooij, 2010;Xu et al, 2014;Yang, Sato, Yamawaki, & Miyata, 2013;Yen, Yen, Chen, Chen, & Ko, 2007). Various familial and parental factors were studied including: family relationship (Lam et al, 2009;Liu et al, 2012;Park, Kim, & Cho, 2008;Van den Eijnden et al, 2010;Yen et al, 2007); dysfunction family (Jang, & Ji, 2012;Lam et al, 2009;Tsitsika et al, 2011;Xu et al, 2014;Yen et al, 2007); parental attitudes, supervision or monitoring (Kwon, Chung, & Lee, 2011;Lin, Lin, & Wu, 2009;Park, Kim, & Cho, 2008; Van den Eijnden et al, 2010;Yang et al, 2013;Yen et al, 2007); and parenting styles (Huang et al, 2010;Kalaitzaki & Birtchnell, 2014;Liu et al, 2012;Xu et al, 2014). Results of a recent review study on familial factors and IA in youth suggested Addictive Behaviors 42 (2015) ...…”

The association between the adolescents' conflictual relationship with their parents and later IA may be mediated by other important psychosocial factors (Kalaitzaki & Birtchnell, 2014).…”

“…The association between the adolescents' conflictual relationship with their parents and later IA may be mediated by other important psychosocial factors (Kalaitzaki & Birtchnell, 2014).
