They are unable to interact with people in real life normally due to this. The message or
neurotransmitter under examination is dopamine. This can be done by making more friends in your
active life or by hooking onto an active sport. For that, it is studied with 335 high-school students in
Elazig city of Turkey in 2015. You can download the paper by clicking the button above. The addicts
have a continual desire to get back on the screen and surf regardless of what work is pending.
According to the Congressional Digest article entitled “Internet History: From ARPANET to
Broadband”, ARPANET, was the precursor to the now infamous Internet and the catalyst of the
digital era (p. 35). ARPANET evolved out of ARPA, the Advanced Research Projects Agency, which
was established in 1957 in response to the launching of the Sputnik satellite by the Soviet Union. In
the case of Internet addiction this could mean switching from Instagram to Snapchat to see if anyone
liked your story. The neurotransmitters are released into a small open space in between two neurons,
called the synapse (E). To browse Academia.edu and the wider internet faster and more securely,

Likewise, scientists have trained animals like monkeys to use certain tools, like rakes and pliers, and
it was found that brains of the monkeys had changed to incorporate the rakes and the pliers into the
mind maps of the animals’ hands (p. 32). Simply stated, it was “as if the pliers were now the hand
fingers” (p. 32). Not only does this further support neuroplasticity, but it also demonstrates how
susceptible the brain is to change in the presence of mechanics and technology. Their time is wasted
on the Internet when they should concentrate on furthering their careers and networking. Many were
still excessively using it, but it was not as bad as it is now. Methods: Applying a pre-experimental
research design model, a total of 90 young subjects (45 males and 45 females) were treated using a
peer education programme. Mark D Griffiths It has been alleged by some academics that excessive
Internet use can be pathological and addictive. Cynthia Andrzejczyk Addiction to Internet In the text
The Globalization of Addiction, Bruce Alexander emphasizes the four different types of addiction
Addiction1, Addiction2, Addicition3, and Addiction4, which include behavioral disorders that apply
to habitual uses of technology including the Internet, video games, and other modern technological
gadgets. Be it by playing video games, watching shows, or merely surfing forums. Those that desire
an evasion from real life or a distraction from problems go to the Internet for emotional support.
Many uses of the Internet and its charm in recent years have led to the emergence of a phenomenon
known as “Internet addiction”. The aim of this paper is to present an evaluation of an action-research
intervention for the prevention of Internet Addiction (IA) in schools. In analysis between variables it
was seen that the internet addiction level of Science-High School students was lower compared to
Anatolian and Vocational High-School students. It is manifested in a variety of pathological
behaviors and emotional states grouped into several major psycho-physical and social effects that
may appear simultaneously, e.g. anger, depression, loneliness or anxiety associated with the lack of
access to the network, the weakening of social ties, withdrawal from real life, lack of educational
achievement, chronic fatigue or deteriorating health. The study data were collected from the
participating students and their families separatel y. Internet means a network of networks, a super
highway that links online services and computer networks at companies, universities, and government
agencies all around the world. The results that we stated in the paper clearly show numerous mental
and physical deficiencies and problems that are experimentally proven and presented in the paper.
Merzenich was about to view what brain activity occurred when he would touch the monkey’s hand
(p. 21). He completed this process on four other monkeys and created a brain map for each.
Tools used to measure the above mentioned variables were Internet Addiction Test by Dr. Kimberly
Young (1998) to measure Internet Addiction. This is more than enough to consume all their attention
throughout the day. They end up scrolling on social media or forums or other websites, watching
videos, shows, chatting, or shopping online. The scan was implemented to examine the dopamine
transporter (DAT) which is a protein on the presynaptic terminal and it plays an important role in the
“regulation of striatal synaptic dopamine levels” (p. 2). This lack of self-control can be hazardous,
just as any other addiction is. It consists of 20 items that measures mild, moderate and severe level of
internet addiction. A day without the smart phones or computer laptops is very hard to move and
sometimes, they are treated as an extra hand of human beings. However, excessive use of the internet
has resulted in negative consequences. Compulsive behaviors tend to evolve when instinct meets
unlimited access. Merzenich was about to view what brain activity occurred when he would touch
the monkey’s hand (p. 21). He completed this process on four other monkeys and created a brain
map for each. It was observed that the more the usage duration increases the more the internet
addiction increases. It was determined the students who use internet mostly for games or social
media are more addicted. Adolescents are the age group 13 to 18 years is very influenced by
internet. See Full PDF Download PDF See Full PDF Download PDF Related Papers 8. The concept
of Internet addiction is inadequate for several reasons. Even while eating, the children gravitate
towards the screen to watch something. When the brain receives a piece of information a neuron
fires, the impulse, scientifically speaking, the action potential, travels down the axon of a neuron and
meets up with the pre-synapse, which is located at the end of the axon, where it activates the release
of chemicals called neurotransmitters. Little is known about the effect of internet addiction.
However, little has been done to address inconsistencies in the assessment of IA using a more
updated framework. The Internet Addiction Test was used as a screening tool pre-and post-treatment
and analysed using a paired t-test. Furthermore, with this paper we intend to bring in practical
experience in the debate about the eventual inclusion of IAD in the next version of the Diagnostic
and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). It has been found to be associated with a variety
of psychiatric disorders. Besides; as statistical, a significant difference wasn't determined between
genders, classes and the variables that internet is mostly used. Another sad development is the fact
that now smartphones and laptops are essential for education. The message or neurotransmitter under
examination is dopamine. To browse Academia.edu and the wider internet faster and more securely,

issues if they do not exercise or go out. In analysis between variables it was seen that the internet
addiction level of Science-High School students was lower compared to Anatolian and Vocational
High-School students. Be it by playing video games, watching shows, or merely surfing forums. The
brain’s communication system relies on specific specialized cells called neurons (E).
According to the Congressional Digest article entitled “Internet History: From ARPANET to
Broadband”, ARPANET, was the precursor to the now infamous Internet and the catalyst of the
digital era (p. 35). ARPANET evolved out of ARPA, the Advanced Research Projects Agency, which

analysis between variables it was seen that the internet addiction level of Science-High School
students was lower compared to Anatolian and Vocational High-School students. Addiction may be
a correct designation only for the minority of individuals who meet the general criteria for addiction,
and it needs to be better demarcated from various patterns of excessive or abnormal use. And the
lack of such skills results in more avoidance, which furthers the problem and does nothing to solve it.
In the analysis of data, t-test and unilateral variance analysis were used. When a person takes a hit of
cocaine, or receives a piece of new information, like a email, text, or notification of a Instagram post,
they get the same hit or a rush of dopamine. The study data were collected from the participating
students and their families separatel y. The neurotransmitters are released into a small open space in
between two neurons, called the synapse (E). From a young age, the children begin to develop a
dependency on the Internet. A significance difference has been found between the mental health of
low and high internet user college students. Compulsive behaviors tend to evolve when instinct
meets unlimited access. Data collec ted from families: Family Personal Information Form and
Family-Child Internet Addiction Test (PCIAT) were u sed. This paper reviews what is known from
the empirical literature on Internet addiction and its derivatives (e.g., Internet Addiction Disorder,
Pathological Internet Use, etc.) and assesses to what extent it exists. It can have a severe impact on a
person’s neurological functioning. If all a student’s time studying and relaxing is spent online, there
is no time to be present in real life. And in these times, you need this technology for getting an
education as well. Besides; as statistical, a significant difference wasn't determined between genders,
classes and the variables that internet is mostly used. However, quickly the brain interprets this
overstimulation flooding as an error, and adapts itself to produce less and less dopamine, by shutting
off and blocking some of the dopamine receptors. However, exactly what it is on the Internet that
they are addicted to still remains unclear. Compulsive use of the Internet is a complex phenomenon,
its effects being visible in almost all aspects of a young person's social life. Data collec ted from
families: Family Personal Information Form and Family-Child Internet Addiction Test (PCIAT) were
u sed. The soma, the cell body, is located at the center of each neuron, the axon transmits an electric
pulse and the dendrites receive those electric pulses (E). The resulting 435 articles from the literature
search have been evaluated according to the PRISMA guide; the selection criteria determined for this
research and the five articles that met the required criteria have been included in the research. Body

students, 91.2% were not internet addicted, 7.9% were likely to be internet addicted, and 0.9% were
int rnet addicted. For that, it is studied with 335 high-school students in Elazig city of Turkey in
2015. The same way that people who suffer from depression or anxiety use alcohol and drugs to
self-medicate, the Internet can be a distraction. People from across the globe communicate with one
another through the Internet. Those that desire an evasion from real life or a distraction from
problems go to the Internet for emotional support.

nucleus accumbens, which controls a person’s motor skills, it propels the person to perform the
experience again. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is a pleasure producing chemical. Are There
Different Types of Computer or Internet Addictions. Research on Internet addiction, initiated by

years have led to the emergence of a phenomenon known as “Internet addiction”. The criteria for
diagnosis was Beard’s definition of IAD. They spend hours and hours on end on the Internet
knowing that it does not benefit and is simply a waste of time. The Internet gives us access to the
entire world for anything and everything. This often results in severe problems like depression,
anxiety, and other psychological disorders. Many were still excessively using it, but it was not as bad

the surgery, touching the monkey’s hands, the confusion had been corrected. When the brain
becomes overstimulated it builds us a tolerance and the only way to return to that “original high” is to
take more of the drug or repeat the experience, but at a higher intensity. The internet addiction scale
that Young (1998) developed was used to determine internet addiction of adolescents.
It can be harmful to people around as there have been incidents where people had murdered family
members when the internet connection was cut off. Alter speaks to how the environment of the
modern digital age is far more conducive to addiction than any other vices humans have faced with
in the past (p. 4). He states that in the 1960s “we swam through waters with only a few hooks:
cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs” all of which were hard to come by and expensive (p. 4). A

Form, Internet Addiction Test (IAT) was used. The number of studies on preventing Internet
addiction has been rather limited compared to other types of studies, yet studies on preventing
Internet addiction have great value because they allow for intervention before Internet usage
becomes a problem. The criteria for diagnosis was Beard’s definition of IAD. This includes
personalized content and advertising. Adolescents are the age group 13 to 18 years is very influenced

environment of unlimited information and built devices that not only make searching for information
easier but the devices themselves are constantly pushing information out. A day without the smart

Body paragraph 1 Topic sentence: Question to be answered in paragraph: Support: The theories of
causes of internet addiction are usually related to some of mental disorder which leads to unhealthy
lifestyles. This is a social problem developed from internet addiction. Conclusion: The difficulties of
IA prevention can be explained by the social legitimacy of the use of new technologies. Each new
action or experience brings about an anatomical change in the brain (p. 26). In fact, James Olds, a
professor of neuroscience at George Mason University states “the brain has the ability to reprogram
itself on the fly” at any point in time (qtd in Carr p. 26). However, while this ability can be harnessed
as an advantage, it can also become a detriment to the brain, as this specific characteristic makes the
brain vulnerable to addictions, including Internet addiction. Ever since the times of hunter-gatherers,
the acquisition of knowledge has been advantageous ( ). Download Free PDF View PDF Internet

addiction is prevalent among youth who are considered as a back bone of the nation. The Internet
can no longer be separated from other potentially overused media, such as text messaging and
gaming platforms. Internet addiction is conceptually too heterogeneous because it pertains to a
variety of very different behaviors. Furthermore, with this paper we intend to bring in practical
experience in the debate about the eventual inclusion of IAD in the next version of the Diagnostic
and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). As much as it has connected us to the world, it
has also isolated us. All they need is a high-speed internet connection and a tool to access it.
Methods: The population of the descriptive of study include d 1410 students. Internet addiction is
defined as any online-related, compulsive behavior which interferes with normal living and causes
severe stress on family, friends, loved ones, and one's work environment Johnson, 2009.
And in these times, you need this technology for getting an education as well. From a young age,
the children begin to develop a dependency on the Internet. The aim of the present paper is to answer
the question whether it is possible or not to formulate diagnoses of internet related disorders. This
often results in severe problems like depression, anxiety, and other psychological disorders. It is just a
psychological disorder and does not involve use of an intoxicating drug and is very similar to
pathological gambling. Adolescents are the age group 13 to 18 years is very influenced by internet.

definitions, terminology, and assessments. However, despite the omnipresent nature of the Internet in
society today, the network’s origins are not common knowledge. The study data were collected from
the participating students and their families separatel y. For present study of internet addiction
amongst young adults age group of 22-25 were chosen. A study of internet addiction which
combined results from three hundred and twelve surveys found that people with internet addiction
tend to be solitary and restrict themselves from being in social situations Young and Rodgers. It
consists of 20 items that measures mild, moderate and severe level of internet addiction. It should not
be taken lightly, and we must be careful so that we can lead healthy lives. Comparably, a hit of
cocaine may induced a larger rush of dopamine, or getting a like a an Instagram picture, but the
same pathways are activated and result in the same consequence. This paper reviews what is known

mostly depend upon the usage of the person who handle it. If one has access to the Internet and
enough money, there can be no need for any individual to step out of the house whatsoever.
