Problematic Internet Use and Marital Adjustment in Married Individuals

Abstract

Purpose: The main purpose of this research is to analyze the problematic Internet use and marital adjustment in married
individuals. For this purpose, 198 (55.8%) female and 157 (44.2%) male volunteers participated in the study.
Design/Methodology/Approach: Research data was obtained by using Personal Information Form, Problematic Internet Use
Scale and Marital Adjustment Scale. Data were analyzed by non-parametric methods Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis H
tests, in addition, Chi-square independence test was used to evaluate demographic variables.
Findings: As a result of the analysis, positive between marital adjustment and problematic Internet use and education level; a
negative relationship was found with the marriage duration. The total scores and subscales of marriage adjustment and
problematic Internet use scales have statistically significant relationships with each other.
Highlights: Based on this study, couples' high problem-solving skills, satisfaction with the time spent together, and sense of
trust increase marital adjustment and significantly reduce problematic internet use. It can be said that couples' inability to
have fun with each other in marriage, lack of common interests and not being able to spare time for each other, causes
incompatibility in marriage, as well as the development of problematic internet use behavior in couples, especially for the
purpose of providing social benefits.
