| Abstract |
In this study we aimed to investigate any difference from the point of problematic internet use (PIU) between study and control groups and of psychiatric comorbidities, chronotype and parental acceptance-rejection/control levels between adolescent groups which have PIU and not and to determine risc factors related with PIU Study sample consisted of 90 adolescents between ages of 14-17 and 73 adolescents without any psychiatric diagnoses and who were matched with study sample in terms of age and gender were admitted as control group. Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children-Present and Lifetime Version was used for diagnosing all participants and Questionnaire of Computer/Internet Use of Adolescents (Adolescent Form), Addiction Profile Index-Form of Internet(API-I), Parental Acceptance-Rejection/Control Questionnaire (PARQ/C) , Young Self Report(YSR) were applied to participants, Sociodemographic information form, Questionnaire of Computer/Internet Use of Adolescents (Parent Form), Child Behavior Checklist and Children’s Chronotype Questionnaire to parents of participants and Teacher Report Form to teacher of participants Statistically no significant difference was established between study and control groups in terms of API-I scores. Adolescents with PIU didn’t have significant different statistically in terms of having any psychiatric comorbidities excluding ODD in comprison with adolescents without PIU which can be interpreted as having PIU creates propensity for ODD in adolescence. The chronotypes of groups with PIU & without PIU didn’t have any difference statistically Weak negative correlation was established between PARQ mother Hostility, Total Rejection, father Hostility, Neglect, Rejection-indifferent scores and API-I. YSR scores of adolescents with PIU was significantly higher than with no PIU. YSR total problem scores at clinical level increased 3,64 fold the risk of PIU From the results of this study, it can be inferred that PIU is not problem of only clinic population but also generalizable to all population. However we determined no association between PIU and psychiatric comorbidities excluding ODD, participants whom reported more problem behavior had propensity for PIU. In clinic sample adolescents with less parental hostility&rejection and paternal neglect had higher API-I scores. Further researches are needed for determining causal relation with in the scope of studied issue and generalizing the results |
