Extractions: Internet Addiction: A Growing Phenomenon on Our Campuses Internet addiction? Sounds unlikely, right? How can the use of a positive, dynamic force like the Internet become a negative, debilitating factor in someones life. Simple. Just like the use of food, the drinking of alcohol, or the purchasing of material things can escalate into misuse and abuse, so can ones interest in and preoccupation with using the Internet become an addiction. Lets take a look at several key facets of this developing phenomenon of Internet Addiction, starting with a basic definition which is taken from Dr. Kimberly B. Youngs book Caught in the Net. What is Internet Addiction? Internet Addiction is a broad term covering a wide-variety of behaviors and impulse control problems. It is important to understand that there are at least five specific types of Internet addiction: Cybersexual Addiction (addictions to adult chat rooms or cyberporn). Cyber-relationship Addiction (online friendships made in chat rooms, MUDs, or newsgroups that replace real-life friends and family, this also includes the issue of cyberaffairs).

Extractions: INTERNET ADDICTION A lmost 6 percent of Internet users suffer from some form of addiction to it, according to the largest study of Web surfers ever conducted. The findings, which were released at the annual meeting of the American Psychological Association, appear likely to bolster the expanding acceptance of compulsive Internet use as a real psychological disorder. W e've all joked about being online for too long, or getting addicted to the net, but could it be that you really are ADDICTED TO THE NET. Its not something to laugh about, but something that has become a serious issue over the recent years, specially with the internet becoming so widely available. On the next few pages are more information about exactly what internet addiction is...and the psychological side of this man-made disorder.

Extractions: You should go to sleep, but Pat may show up again in the chat room. Pat seems to be the only one who understands you these days. 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

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.

Extractions: Have your family or friends complained about the amount of time you spend online? Are you less involved with your spouse or friends because of your involvement with the Internet? Have you lied to your spouse or family members about your Internet usage? Do you feel estrangement in your relationship with God because of your involvement with the Internet (pornography, gambling, etc.)? Do you avoid social engagements or try to leave such engagements early in order to spend more time on the Internet? Do you hide your Internet involvement from your spouse or family members? Do you, your spouse, or family members stay up late, after everyone has gone to bed, so you can log onto the Internet privately? Have you, your spouse or a family member experienced an increase in moodiness, anger and harsh blaming? Have you, your spouse or family member tried to stop your involvement with the Internet, but have been unable to do so? Many people find that overcoming these temptations is virtually impossible on their own. Developing a relationship with another person who can hold them accountable is the most effective way to obtain help. That's why

Extractions: By Joannie Fischer It was purely by accident, Kevin says, that he discovered online pornography. First he looked out of curiosity. "Each time I thought I had seen it all," he says, "some new sexual practice popped up. Eventually, the online sexual world came to take the place of any real-world contact with women. "I can be a little bit shy," he says, "and this was a substitute that kept me from feeling lonely." Then came a message from "Marie," a young mother of three looking for companionship on an Internet singles site. Kevin fired off an immediate response, and the two began a dialogue that would last two months before he made the 50-mile drive to meet her. A few months later, they were married. What Marie loved about Kevin was his kindness, his interest in her kids. What she -didn't know was that every time she was reading one of Kevin's love E-mails, he was at the other end of the connection peering at lewd pornography sites. "I knew he was always online," Marie says. "But I thought that it was just because he was interested in meeting new people." Whenever Kevin was home, he was online, with the door closed. A few times, he called her in to look at an especially "wild" site. She was disgusted but didn't worry-until he turned away from her in bed. "Have you been looking again?" she would cry.

http://home.mira.net/~kmurray/psych/moscow.html

Extractions: Re-Authoring Therapy ... Internet Addiction This paper examines Internet addiction from the perspective of narrative psychology. A brief sketch of this perspective is necessary before proceeding. A narrative understanding of human behaviour attends to the meanings negotiated around action, ranging from routine accounting to tall tales. This semiotic approach borrows primarily from the literary field in analysing these meanings. An often-used literary device in narrative psychology is the schema of four mythoi, developed by Northrop Frye. According to this literary theorist, narrative structures proceed in a cycle that includes romance, comedy, tragedy and satire. In romance, the individual triumphs over adversity and a new order is instituted. By contrast, in comedy the individual gives way to the group, which is refreshed by overcoming dissent. In tragedy, an individual cannot return to this world from the ordeal. And as a catchall category, in satire the preceding three myths are shown to be unrealistic. The four mythoi offer interpretations of episodes in which individual and group encounter threats to their existence. In the case of Internet addiction, a narrative approach attends to the implicit stories that are used to make sense of this phenomenon. This paper divides into two parts. The first part examines the meanings attached to the online experience. The second part views some of the narrative structures that contain the addiction phenomenon.

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: This was fine by psychiatrists, as long as noone took it seriously. There were however people who decided to find out if there was any truth to the joke. Dr Kimberly S. Young at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford was one of these. She started doing her pioneer research on internet addiction in 1996. She handed out questionnairies to people who spent time online, with questions that were based on criteria for gamblingaddiction, but adapted to internet addiction.

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?
