Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the extent to which gender and psychological factors predict the severity of internet use addiction in early adolescence.
Methods: A total of 345, 5th and 6th grade elementary school students were recruited for evaluation of their experiences using the internet. Severity of addiction, behavioral characteristics, level of self-efficacy and self-control, and dysfunctional attitudes were compared with sex and level of internet addiction. One-way ANOVA was used to explore gender differences in relationship to the severity of internet addiction and a number of variables.
Results: This study found that subjects who had previously used the internet were predominantly male. Gender differences were also found in the severity of internet use. Lower self-control, lower self-efficacy and high dysfunctional attitudes were associated with more severe addiction among males, but not among females.
Conclusion: As a result, special strategies accounting for gender differences must be implemented to prevent young adolescents with risk factors from becoming addicted to internet use.
