Abstract

|
|
|
A rapid growth in internet use has been accompanied by emerging concerns about addictive behavioral problems, more specially, gaming, gambling, pornography, and sexting etc. Although there have been disagreements regarding the diagnostic criteria or measuring tools for internet addiction disorder, many studies have reported that internet addictive behaviors consisted of negative outcomes, compulsive use, loss of control, relapse, tolerance, withdrawal, anticipation craving, mood change, interpersonal conflicts, and lowered physical health, similar to substance addiction. There is no doubt that some adults, as well as youths, have become far more dependent upon connectivity for studying, playing, communicating, and socializing through the internet world in the 21st century. Internet addiction disorder can be divided into various subtypes. Each subtype has similarities of character, patterns, diagnostic core features. This review presents the features, characters, and assessment tools for each subtype of internet addiction in order to provide information for screening, evaluation and management in clinical settings or addiction centers.
