Separate And Unequal

As Internet use grows globally, the digital divide has shifted beyond concerns about access and adoption to more subtle questions of skill, usage, and capital, and to new venues such as social networking sites (SNSs). Do digital divides persist across adoption/non-adoption of SNSs, across different SNSs, and across different capital-enhancing activities used on those SNSs? The current study analyzes a context where social ties are more salient for resource access due to untrustworthy institutions, and large gaps exist between elites and non-elites. Demographic divides characterize the 31% of Armenian adults using two major SNSs in 2013: Facebook and Odnoklassniki. Facebook is used more for getting information, while Odnoklassniki more for gaming. However, the divides in SNS usage are much greater than in activity use, with implications for capital enhancement and stratification.

The Relationship

This study aims to find out the relationship between problematic internet use (PIU) and academic procrastination in college students. This study took place in the Faculty of Psychology, Universitas Gadjah Mada with 190 students as the participants. The data were collected using Academic Procrastination Scale (APS) and Generalized Problematic Internet Use-2 (GPIUS2) that has been adapted in Bahasa. Hypothesis is analyzed using Pearson's product-moment correlation which shows that there is a positive relationship between problematic internet use and academic procrastination (r = 0,478; p = 0,000 (p<0,01). Furthermore, additional analysis shows that there is no different level in problematic internet use and academic procrastination based on gender. Other than that, there is also a no different level of academic procrastination based on the duration of internet usage in one day. Conversely, there is a different level of problematic internet use based on the duration of internet usage in one day.
