41. The Psychology Of Cyberspace - Computer And Cyberspace Addiction
    Some label it an internet addiction Disorder. But many people are addicted to their computers long before the internet enters their lives.

    Extractions: Psychology of Cyberspace >> Home Page Article Index Subject index Search Engine This article dated Aug 96, Revised Aug 98, March 99 (v1.8) John Suler, Ph.D. Rider University A heated debate is rising among psychologists. With the explosion of excitement about the internet, some people seem to be a bit too excited. Some people spend way too much time there. Is this yet ANOTHER type of addiction that has invaded the human psyche? This article is Click here for information Perhaps, on a broad level, it makes sense to talk about a "Cyberspace Addiction" - an addiction to virtual realms of experience created through computer engineering. Within this broad category, there may be subtypes with distinct differences. A teenager who plays hooky from school in order to master the next level of Donkey Kong may be a very different person than the middle aged housewife who spends $500 a month in AOL chat rooms - who in turn may be very different from the businessman who can't tear himself away from his finance programs and continuous internet access to stock quotes. Some cyberspace addictions are game and competition oriented, some fulfill more social needs, some simply may be an extension of workaholicism. Then again, these differences may be superficial. Nevertheless, some people are definitely hurting themselves by their addiction to computers and cyberspace. When people lose their jobs, or flunk out of school, or are divorced by their spouses because they cannot resist devoting all of their time to virtual lands, they are pathologically addicted. These extreme cases are clear cut. But as in all addictions, the problem is where to draw the line between "normal" enthusiasm and "abnormal" preoccupation.

    Extractions: M CLUHAN CONTENDED THAT a medium or a technology forces society and the individual to adapt to it, rather than people adapting the technology to the current world.( ) In other words, each significant technological development fundamentally changes the way the world works. Just as the invention of the electric light enabled a multitude of nocturnal activities to occur and the VCR created an entire industry of video retailers, the development of the Internet and World Wide Web have spawned a revolution in communication, commerce, and interpersonal behavior. Use of the Internet on college and university campuses has shown explosive growth in the last few years, paralleling, if not outpacing, the strong advances in the society at large. While academia always has been in the forefront of Internet use, the primary focus had been on faculty research and communication. Since the advent of high-quality, low-cost hardware and software, and the development of a graphically based, easy-to-use method of accessing remote computer sites (i.e., the World Wide Web), use of the Internet by students has increased dramatically. Many campuses are now finding that a student culture is being created via E-mail, Web surfing, multiple user dungeons (MUDS; interactive, role-playing games), and homepage production. Many students provide E-mail addresses as the preferred mode of contact rather than telephone numbers. Although the Internet can be a powerful tool for both academic study and personal communication, for some people Internet access can prove to be a temptation that is hard to resist. Pathological or problematic use of the Internet, also called "Internet addiction," is a behavior pattern that appears to be affecting more and more people, including students.

Or maybe you'll just surf the 'Net for awhile and check in later. Does this sound familiar? Do you seem to be spending more and more time online, getting less work done, becoming more involved with cyberfriends than flesh-and-blood ones? You may be getting "caught in the 'Net." Many people find it hard to believe that using the computer can be a problem for them. It helps you be productive, it's entertaining, it's interesting; but addictive? Studies have shown that an increasing number of students go beyond functional use of computers and the 'Net to the point of failing courses, losing jobs, damaging relationships, and even flunking out of school altogether. And these are not just "marginal" students; high-achieving students are just as susceptible, perhaps more susceptible. Using the internet is like other potentially compulsive activities, such as gambling, exercise

Americans are going on-line looking for information, entertainment and relationships.

The Net provides everyday users with primarily the Web, e-mail, instant messaging, live chat and the ability to purchase goods and services on-line. "You’ve Got Mail…" I Don’t Care. "Do you want to know more?" Nope! "Do you want to see a picture of a naked man?" Of course not!! "Do you want to see a picture of young boy having sex with an older woman?" Not on your life!!!

    Extractions: Abstract What makes the Internet attractive? What is Internet Addiction? Who Gets Addicted? ... References Abstract Recent research shows that some users of the Internet spend so much time logged on, that their personal and/or professional life suffers. This finding is corroborated by numerous anecdotal accounts of people becoming "hooked" on on-line interactivity, accounts that have circulated in on-line discussions as well as in real life settings. It is becoming common to know of someone, or have heard of someone, that has become enamored with on-line activity to the point that they ignore important personal responsibilities. This paper is an overview of current research findings, and an attempt to explore some of the possible explanations for this phenomena. Factors inherent in on-line interactivity that might be contributing to developing Internet Addiction Disorder (IAD) are distinguished from factors inherent in the people proposed to be most at risk for, or suffering from, IAD. Recommendations for treatment of affected individuals are offered. What makes the Internet attractive?

    Extractions: on Thursday, August 07, 2003 Aug. 7, 2003 It's got people worried: Glassy-eyed millions are downloading, instant messaging, emailing and they're doing it 24/7. Hours and hours after logging on, they can't walk away. When does harmless Internet surfing cross into overuse, or as some say Internet addiction? Nathan A. Shapira, MD, PhD, a psychiatrist in the McKnight Brain Institute at the University of Florida in Gainesville, has been studying this social problem since 1997. His latest paper, published in the current issue of Depression and Anxiety , outlines theories about this phenomenon. When the computer age burgeoned two decades ago, researchers looked into computer and technology dependence. But they didn't find the same damage especially to relationships that Internet overuse seems to cause. In fact, psychiatrists are still trying to figure out what's going on and how best to treat the problem, he says. "It's disheartening," Shapira tells WebMD. "We have this wonderful, very prevalent technology, but no one really knows the effect it's having on us."

Under guidance of an interventionist, other people prepare themselves and then address the person in a clear, respectful yet firm manner. Intervention, when done correctly, is extremely effective in helping people accept help.

    Extractions: It claims that people are spending an increasing amount of time online and then lie about it to hide their activities. In a paper to be published in the student edition of the British Medical Journal, Dr Kimberly Young, director of the centre, sets out a series of questions she says determine whether or not someone is an Internet addict. However, other psychologists working in the same field say that her criteria are too wide ranging to provide a useful definition. Self-test reveals all Dr Young said that an Internet addict would answer yes to at least five of the following questions: Do you feel preoccupied with the Internet (you think about your previous online activity or anticipate your next session)? Do you feel the need to use the Internet with increasing amounts of time in order to achieve satisfaction?
