Internet Using Patterns And Its Associations With Psychopathology Among Male Undergraduate Students: An Epidemiological Survey

Abstract

using the Internet were determined. Results: The mean age of the sample was 22 (SD: 2.0). The mean time spent online was 15 hours per week (SD: 12, median: 14). There was a positive correlation between SCL-90 and OCS total scores (r=0.452, p<0.01). No correlation was detected between time spent on the Internet and SCL-90 scores (r=0.067, p=0.19). The number of participants who reported to be having problems in all domains of problematic Internet use was 30 (%7.8). Conclusions: These findings suggest that the relative priority and individual meaning of the Internet were associated with problematic use. In addition, Internet users have some primary purposes that are related to problematic use. Focusing on these areas for future studies is recommended
