“…Yao and Zhong (2014) have examined the relationship between loneliness, depression, social anxiety and pathological internet addiction in university students, and found that pathological internet addiction was used as a non-compliant behavior aimed at reducing negative emotions such as loneliness, depression, social anxiety. Santos et al (2017) found a strong relationship between anxiety and internet addiction, and a moderate relationship between internet addiction and depression. Taş, İme (2919) found that divorced individuals had higher levels of internet addiction and depression than married ones, concluding that divorced individuals were considered more risky groups than married one.…”

“…One study on the relationship between pathological internet addiction and loneliness, depression and social anxiety in university students determined that pathological internet addiction was used as a maladaptive behavior to reduce negative feelings such as loneliness, depression, and social anxiety (Yao & Zhong, 2014). Another study about the relationship between internet addiction, depression and anxiety found a strong relationship between internet addiction and anxiety, and a moderate relationship between internet addiction and depression (Santos et al, 2017).…”
This study aims to examine the anxiety and internet addiction levels of divorced and married individuals. In this study, a statistically significant difference was found between the anxiety and internet addiction levels of married and divorced individuals, where the divorced persons had higher levels of anxiety and internet addiction than the married ones. No statistically significant difference was found between the anxiety and internet addiction levels of divorced and married individuals by gender. However, a statistically significant difference was determined between the anxiety levels of married individuals with respect to gender, where the females had higher anxiety levels than the males. In addition, no statistically significant difference was found between the anxiety and internet addiction levels of divorced individuals with respect to status of having children, whereas the level of internet addiction in married individuals varied statistically significantly according to this variable. It was noteworthy that individuals without children had significantly higher levels of internet addiction than those with children.

“…Tal situação afeta indivíduos em toda sociedade, em todas as faixas etárias (OLIVEIRA et al, 2006) e de todas as carreiras profissionais (DIAS; CRUZ; FONSECA, 2009), e começa precocemente, na vida escolar de ensino fundamental e médio (FERNANDES;SILVEIRA, 2012;JATOBÁ;BASTOS, 2007). O desempenho acadêmico eficiente, ou seja, o sucesso ao atingir as metas estabelecidas pelo meio universitário, tal como a demonstração de alto nível de conhecimento em uma área de especialização (BAKER, 2003;ALMONDES et al, 2002;PRIMI;SANTOS;VENDRAMINI, 2002), tem sido um fator desencadeante de ansiedade nos estudantes universitários.…”
Relata-se um projeto de extensão que discutiu, com grupos de docentes, técnicos administrativos em educação e estudantes universitários, as situações ansiógenas relacionadas ao cotidiano acadêmico em um campus universitário no sul do Brasil. O projeto iniciava, com uma palestra aberta à comunidade. Os grupos de docentes e técnicos não aconteceram pela incompatibilidade de horário, mas foram realizados encontros individuais e rodas de conversa. Com os estudantes foram realizados 09 grupos, distribuídos em quatro semestres, e também atendimentos a 01 estudante, orientado individualmente em 2020. A participação foi de 61 estudantes, no total. Nos encontros informou-se sobre a dinâmica da ansiedade, discutiu-se a percepção e sentimento dos estudantes em relação à ansiedade no ambiente universitário e estratégias para enfrentamento da ansiedade na universidade. Os participantes avaliaram positivamente o projeto. Destaca-se como benéfica a oportunidade de desenvolver a consciência crítica dos participantes quanto à relação entre ansiedade e o contexto educacional.
“…Internet addiction in Asian adolescents is more common compared to the US and Europe due to the cultural different and difficulties in selfexpression, which can easily cause these youngsters to fall prey to the cyber-world (Kurniasanti, Assandi, Ismail, Nasrun, & Wiguna, 2019). Internet addiction is associated with other psychiatric disorders and a series of social, emotional, and physical complications (Santos et al, 2017). This addiction also negatively impacts the quality of life (Cheng & Li, 2014).…”
Background: Internet addiction has become a serious problem in the world, especially for adolescents. Temperament plays an important role in influencing internet addiction in adolescents. Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between students’ characteristics and temperament with their internet addiction levels in one of the junior high schools in Surabaya, Indonesia. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study, which used primary data that was obtained from students who filled out a questionnaire. The study sample included 114 students in one of the junior high schools in Surabaya. The dependent variable was the internet addiction level; the dependent variables were gender, age, student grade, and temperament. An Internet Addiction Test (IAT) and an Early Adolescents Temperament Questionnaire-Revised (EATQ-R) were the tools used for data collection. Data was collected in November 2019. The sample selection was done through the stratified random sampling technique. The data was subsequently analyzed using the Fisher’s exact and Spearman correlation tests. Results: There was a significant positive correlation between age (p<0.01), student grade (p<0.05), negative affectivity (p<0.01), and surgency (p<0.05) toward internet addiction levels. There was a significant negative correlation observed between effortful control (p<0.05) and internet addiction levels. Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between age, student grade, negative affectivity, surgency, and effortful control and adolescents’ internet addiction levels.
