The impact of internet dependence on human behaviour and well-being: A socio-psychological analysis
Description
Abstract In the present academic paper, we aimed to investigate the influence of Internet use by three different levels of users in relation to Internet addiction on behavior and health among students of Ivan Franko National University of Lviv.
Seven hundred and ninety-four students completed an online survey, including a emographic questionnaire, a brief description of health anxiety, and an Internet addiction test. The results showed that Internet addicts have higher scores on overall behavioral risk and health anxiety factors. The present research provides knowledge for mental and physical health professionals about the connection between Internet addiction and health anxiety. Chi-square tests were conducted to compare differences in the distribution of Internet addiction by health literacy levels, as well as some social and demographic features. The data obtained can help the public and experts inform about one of the factors that are related
to people’s concerns.
