Objectives: This study aimed to assess the associations between loneliness and the frequency of substance use and problematic Internet use (PIU) in different age groups. Methods: Data were collected in April 2021 from a sample of 1,293 participants with main characteristics close to a nationally representative sample (mean age = 50.1 ± 15.4 years; 56% male). We measured loneliness with the Three-Item Loneliness Scale (TILS), PIU with the General Problematic Internet Use Scale-2 (GPIUS-2) and the frequency of drugs, alcohol, smoking or caffeine consumption. Spearman's correlation, the t-test, and one-way and multivariate linear regression models were used to analyze the data. Results: In our study, 43.8% of respondents reported moderate to severe levels of loneliness. Loneliness was associated with the severity of PIU [F (3, 1,277) = 15.25, p < 0.001], with higher loneliness corresponding to higher PIU. No significant relationship was found between loneliness and drugs, alcohol, smoking or caffeine consumption. Conclusion: Regardless of age, loneliness is associated with PIU but not with the frequency of substance use. Professional help for lonely people should focus on problematic Internet use in all age groups.

Problematic internet use (PIU) has adverse effects on adolescent health. Parenting may play an important role in the prevention of this condition, but the associations between PIU and parental behavior are unknown. This meta-analysis examined the associations between adolescent PIU and general and media-specific parenting. Studies were obtained using searches in scientific databases and using references identified from bibliographies. Searches covered English written journal articles, master's theses, and doctoral dissertations from the year each database started until April 2022. Studies were included if they (a) measured PIU, (b) measured parenting, (c) used data obtained from children or adolescents, and (d) reported a valid analysis. Two coders decided whether each study met the required criteria. Data were pooled using a random effects model. We found weak negative associations between PIU and general parenting, namely, warmth (r = -0.17, [-0.13, -0.20], k = 24; N = 58401), control (r = -0.10, [-0.01, -0.18], k = 10, N = 12199), and authoritative parenting (r = -0.12, [-0.02, -0.21], k = 8, N = 5431), but the associations between PIU and media-specific parenting, namely, active mediation (r = -0.02, [-0.07, 0.02], k = 11, N = 30545) and restrictive mediation (r = 0.01, [-0.10, 0.11], k = 16, N = 36997), were non-significant. In older adolescents, the association between restrictive mediation and PIU was significant but positive. Media parenting has only weak association with PIU and thus restrictions should be used cautiously, especially in older adolescents. Additional prospective studies on parenting and specific PIU activities are needed.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The current level of knowledge concerning the effect of socioeconomic status (SES) on internet use, gambling, and substance use in structurally disadvantaged regions is scarce. The objective of this study was an investigation of the relationship between SES and risky internet use, gambling and substance use in a structurally disadvantaged region in Central Europe. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among high school students (n = 1063) in a Czech structurally disadvantaged region in autumn 2017. Binary Logistic Regression models were applied to data from the modified Excessive Internet Use scale (mEIUS), a standard tool for measuring the risk of addictive behavior on the internet and the risk of excessive gaming. Other data were collected using the Lie/Bet (problematic gambling), CAGE (acronym of the key words: cut, angry, guilty and eye-opener), and the Cannabis Abuse Screening Test (CAST) (problematic alcohol/cannabis use) tools. RESULTS: There were statistically significant differences between at-risk and not-at-risk groups in addictive behavior on the internet and gaming, while none were found in problematic gambling. Individual dimensions of SES showed significant effects on substance use. Regarding parenting styles, significant differences were found only in the risk of addictive behavior on the internet or gaming between the authoritarian and authoritative styles. Being engaged in behavioral addictions with one´s parents increased the odds of the behavioral addiction risk and decreased the odds of the substance addiction risk. Engagement with one´s parents in substance addictions decreased the odds of the behavioral addiction risk and increased the odds of the substance addiction risk. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: The results point at specific relations between SES and the risk of addictive behaviors on the internet and gaming within structurally disadvantaged regions. The results of SES and/or structurally disadvantaged region measures obtained in research, policy-making, and care-provision may improve the focus of actions taken.

BACKGROUND: This study investigates both offline and online bullying perpetration and victimization in association with problematic internet use (PIU) and problematic smartphone use (PSU), while also considering the related psychosocial difficulties. METHODS: A total of 3939 adolescents (49.4% boys, aged 13-15 years) from a representative sample of schools in Slovakia was obtained from the Health Behavior in School-aged Children (HBSC) project in 2018. Due to the lack of similar complex research and the expected mutual associations among the constructs, we compared exploratory network models that provided separate estimates for boys and girls. RESULTS: The constructs formed similarly clustered networks for both genders, with a few notable differences. Unlike PIU, PSU was not associated with bullying experiences in boys or girls; however, PSU and PIU were partially related in girls. Bullying experiences formed a strong cluster in both networks. Two strong bridges were identified, and they are potential candidates for intervention in both boys and girls: first, traditional bullying victimization connected the cluster of bullying experiences to psychosocial difficulties; and, second, frequently missing sleep or meals due to internet use (behavioral salience) that is connected to the bullying cluster with PIU. CONCLUSIONS: The findings offer an indication for the preventive and interventive work of practitioners who deal with adolescents, as well as complex gender comparisons for the mutual relations of problematic internet and smartphone use, bullying experiences, and the psychosocial difficulties of youth. This study provides evidence that problematic digital media can play a role in bullying experiences irrespective of whether bullying happens offline or online.

PURPOSE: This study examined (1) whether intense and problematic social media use (SMU) were independently associated with adolescent well-being; (2) whether these associations varied by the country-level prevalence of intense and problematic SMU; and (3) whether differences in the country-level prevalence of intense and problematic SMU were related to differences in mobile Internet access. METHODS: Individual-level data came from 154,981 adolescents (meanage = 13.5) from 29 countries that participated in the 2017/2018 Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) survey. Intense SMU was measured by the time spent on social media, whereas problematic SMU was defined by symptoms of addiction to social media. Mental (life satisfaction and psychological complaints), school (school satisfaction and perceived school pressure), and social (family support and friend support) well-being were assessed. Country-level data came from aggregated individual-level data and data from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) on Internet access. RESULTS: Two-level regression analyses indicated that in countries with a lower prevalence of intense SMU, intense users reported lower levels of life satisfaction and family support and more psychological complaints than nonintense users. In contrast, in countries with a higher prevalence of intense SMU, intense users reported higher levels of family support and life satisfaction than nonintense users, and similar levels of psychological complaints. In all countries, intense users reported more friend support than nonintense users. The findings regarding problematic SMU were more consistent: In all countries, problematic users reported lower well-being on all domains than nonproblematic users. Observed differences in country-level prevalence rates of intense and problematic SMU could not be explained by mobile Internet access. CONCLUSIONS: Adolescents reporting problematic SMU are particularly at risk of lower well-being. In many countries, intense SMU may be a normative adolescent behavior that contributes positively to specific domains of their well-being.

Background and aims: Problematic internet use (PIU) is a highly prevalent condition with severe adverse effects. The literature suggests that parent-child bonding and parental behavioral control exert protective effects against PIU. However, the most relevant studies rely on simplistic measurement of parenting, cross-sectional designs and mixed-aged samples. Our study analyzed the effect of maternal and paternal parenting on PIU by using a prospective design and a cohort sample of same-aged children. Methods: Data from 1,019 Czech 12-year-old sixth-graders who were followed until ninth grade were used. Maternal and paternal responsiveness and strictness were reported by children using the Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire (PARQ) and the Parental Control Scale (PCS). PIU was measured by the Excessive Internet Use Scale (EIUS). Results: The self-reported PIU prevalence in nine-graders (15-year-old) was 8.1%. Parenting, reported by adolescents 18 months before PIU screening, showed significant relationships with PIU: parental responsiveness was negatively and moderately associated, while maternal strictness showed a weak positive association; the authoritative parenting style in both parents decreased PIU, with a PIU probability of 3.21%, while a combination of maternal authoritarian and paternal neglectful parenting was associated with PIU probability as high as 20.9%. Discussion and conclusions: The self-reported prevalence of PIU in Czech adolescents was found to be high. The effects of parenting on PIU were similar to the effects of parenting on other problematic behavior among adolescents. Our findings showed the need for interventions to prevent PIU by helping parents to apply optimal parenting styles.

Internet, který se coby nejdynamičtěji se rozvíjející médium stává stále dostupnějším, umožňuje levnou, rychlou a efektivní komunikaci v několika modalitách (text, zvuk, obraz). Tento přehledový článek se zaměřuje na možnosti využití Internetu v léčbě abúzu alkoholu a syndromu závislosti na alkoholu. Zhruba dvě třetiny uživatelů Internetu v rozvinutých zemích využívá internet k vyhledávání informací o zdravotních problémech a jejich léčbě, a proto má internet velký potenciál k preventivnímu I terapeutickému působení. Webové stránky zaměřené na problematiku abúzu alkoholu nabízejí v současné době čtyři základní typy služeb: (a) informace, (b) online krátkou intervenci, (c) oniine psychoterapii či poradenství a (d) online setkání svépomocných skupin. Výhodou internetových služeb je zejména místní, časová i finanční dostupnost, možnost zůstat v anonymitě a v případě online dotazníků bezprostřední zpětná vazba; naopak hlavní nevýhodou je absence plnohodnotného bezprostředního kontaktu, který je pro efektivní diagnostiku i terapii klíčový, riziko podpory sociální izolace uživatele nebo riziko objevení se závislostního chování na Internetu. Internetová intervence mohou být jedním ze způsobů jak oslovit rizikové uživatele alkoholu, kteří nejsou v kontaktu s léčebnými službami, a tak zvýšit záchyt populace ohrožené škodlivým užíváním a závislostí.

The Internet, as the fastest-growing medium, is becoming more affordable for the general population, allowing cheap, fast, and efficient communication in several modalities, such as text, sound, and images. Around two thirds of Internet users in developed countries use the Internet to find information about health problems and their treatment. Therefore, the Internet has a great potential for preventive and therapeutic effects. The review article focuses on the possibility of using the Internet in the treatment and prevention of some alcohol use disorders. Websites focusing on this issue offer four basic types of services: (a) information services, (b) screening and brief interventions, (c) psychotherapy or counselling, and (d) self-help group meetings. The advantages of Internet services are mainly the lower cost of treatment, flexibility of place and time, and the possibility of remaining anonymous and of being in contact with hidden populations such as female or young drinkers. In contrast, the main drawbacks are the lack of visual and auditory cues (making it more difficult to detect certain nuances which are especially important in terms of effective diagnosis and support for compliance with the therapy process) and the risk of fostering social isolation and/or the exacerbation of addictive behaviour on the Internet. Therefore, the Internet seems to be an attractive addition rather than a real alternative to the traditional approach to the prevention and treatment of alcohol use disorders. In particular, its potential lies in its being a relatively inexpensive way to reach out to specific alcohol user groups engaging in harmful alcohol consumption who are not in contact with treatment services.

Problematické používanie internetu (PIU - Problematic internet use) je považované za relatívne novú oblasť rizikového správania, ktorá sa zaoberá nekontrolovateľným používaním internetu s negatívnymi dopadmi na jednotlivca (Caplan, 2010). Príspevok sa zameriava na skúmanie vzťahov medzi faktormi osobnosti, depresivitou a PIU u študentov stredných a vysokých škôl v ostravskom regióne a ktoré z týchto faktorov predikujú PIU v našej vzorke študentov. Výskumu sa zúčastnilo 279 respondentov (79,9% žien, M = 18,5 roka, SD = 2,73). Pri zbere údajov bola použitá batéria testov - faktory osobnosti boli merané prostredníctvom dotazníka HEXACO (Ashton & Lee, 2009), depresivita bola meraná modifikovanou verziou Beckovho inventáru depresie (MBDI, Schmitt, Beckmann, Dusi, Maes, Schiller & Schonauer, 2003), problematické používanie internetu bolo merané prostredníctvom dotazníka GPIUS2 Generalized problematic internet usescale (Caplan, 2010). Výsledky pearsonovho korelačného koeficientu potvrdili pozitívny vzťah medzi depresivitou, emocionalitou a PIU. Medzi osobnostnými faktormi poctivosť-pokora, extroverzia a svedomitosť sa preukázal negatívny vzťah k PIU. Výsledky regresnej analýzy poukázali na štyri faktory - svedomitosť, depresivita, poctivosť-pokora a emocionalita, ktoré vysvetľujú 26% variancie problematického používania internetu.

Problematic internet use (PIU) is considered as a relatively new area of risk taking behaviour, which deals with uncontrolled use of the Internet with negative outcomes (impact) on individuals (Caplan, 2010). This paper focuses on relationship between personality factors, depression and problematic internet use among students of secondary schools and universities in Ostrava region. The aim of the paper was to determine whether personality factors and depression predict problematic internet use among young students. Studies dealing with problematic internet use (Caplan, 2010; Young 1998; Davis, 2001 etc.) show that personality is one of the factor which may be associated with internet addiction or other forms of risk behaviour (Kolibáš, Novotný, 1996; Kopasová, 2000; Hemochová, Vaňková & Drlíková in Výrost & Slameník, 2001). Personality was measured by the questionnaire HEXACO (Ashton & Lee, 2009), depression was measured by a modified version of Beck Depression Inventory (M-BDI; Schmitt, Beckmann, Dusi, Maes, Schiller &Schonauer, 2003), the problematic internet use was measured by Generalized problematic internet use scale (GPIUS2; Caplan, 2010). The research sample consisted of 279 students of secondary schools and universities in Ostrava region. There were 200 (71.7%) high school students while the number of the university students was 79 (28.3%). The mean age of the sample was M = 18,5 years, SD = 2,73 and 79,9% were women. The results of Pearson correlation coefficients showed a positive relationship between depression, emotionality and PIU. Between the personality factors honesty-humility, extroversion and conscientiousness was a negative relationship with the PIU. Results of the regression analysis showed four factors - conscientiousness, depression, honesty-humility and emotions that explain 26% of the variance of the Problematic internet use among our research sample. The results confirm the importance of examining personality factors and depression in relation to the PIU. It can be said, that these findings confirm the importance of examining the modern global social issue - problematic Internet use among students at secondary school and universities. It is also important to pay attention to the occurrence of depressive symptoms in adulthood. Results can be used as a basis for development of preventive programs, education programs or trainings programs, which could help to raise awareness in the field of information technologies and their negative impact on the mental life. This study has several limits. There is unequal representation of men and women as well as greater representation of secondary school students. Electronic data collection can be another limit of the study.

CIEĽ: Cieľom štúdie bolo preskúmať vzťah medzi osobnostnými faktormi vyššieho radu plasticitou (extroverzia, otvorenosť voči skúsenosti), stabilitou (emocionálna stabilita/neuroticizmus, prívetivosť, svedomitosť) a problematickým používaním internetu (PlU) s prihliadnutím na úlohu autonómie v tomto vzťahu. METÓDY: Autonomy (škála na meranie autonómie). Ten Item Personality Inventory (Desaťpoložkový osobnostný dotazník), GPlU2-Generalized Problematic Internet Use Scale 2 (Škála na meranie problematického používania internetu). VÝSKUMNÁ VZORKA: Vzorka pozostávala z 1525 študentov prvých ročníkov univerzít troch krajín: Slovenska (N=587; 73 % žien; 19,6 priemerný vek; 38,5 % vzorky), Litvy (N=555; 71 % žien; 20,0 priemerný vek; 36,4 % vzorky) a Maďarska (N=383; 76 % žien; 21,4 priemerný vek; 25,1 % vzorky). Výskum je súčasťou štúdie SĽiCE (Študent life cohort in Európe). VÝSLEDKY: Modelmi lineárnej regresie bol zistený podiel všetkých skúmaných prediktorov na vysvetlení PlU pri kontrole rodu a krajiny. Bol potvrdený negatívny vzťah medzi plasticitou a PIU, medzi stabilitou a PIU ako aj autonómiou a PIU a Sobelov test preukázal, že autonómia bola mediátorom vzťahu plasticita a PIU a stabilita a PIU. ZAVER: Upozornením na významnú protektívnu úlohu autonómie vo vzťahu k PIU ako aj na jej mediačnú funkciu vo vzťahu osobnostných faktorov vyššieho radu a PIU umožŕiujeme implementáciu týchto poznatkov v prevenčných a intervenčných programoch pre vysokoškolákov.

AIM: The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between the higher-order personality factors Plasticity (Extraversion, Openness to Experience) and Stability (Emotional stability I Neuroticism, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness) and Problematic Internet Use (PIU) with respect to the role of autonomy in this relationship. METHODS: Autonomy (A scale for measuring autonomy), Ten-Item Personality Inventory, GPIU2 (Generalized Problematic Internet Use Scale 2). SAMPLE: The sample consisted of 1525 first-year university students from three countries: the Slovak Republie (38.5%, N=814, 73% of them females, mean age 19.6), Lithuania (36.4%, N=936, 71% of them females, mean age 20.0), and Hungary (25.1%, N=940, 16% of them females, mean age 21.4). This research is part of SLICE (a European cohort study looking into university students' behaviour and perspectives on life). RESULTS: Models of linear regression showed that all the predictors under scrutiny explained the variance in PIU after controlling for gender and country. The analysis showed a negative relationship between Plasticity and PIU, between Stability and PIU, and between autonomy and PIU. Furthermore, the Sobel test showed that autonomy was a mediator of the relationship between Plasticity and PIU and between Stability and PIU. CONCLUSION: Highlighting the significant protective role of autonymy in relation to PIU as well as the mediating role of autonomy in the relationship between the higher-order personality factors and PIU, the findings of this study can be implemented in prevention and intervention programmes for university students.
