<p>Internet that adds the differences to the lives of the people from day it entered into the life of mankind and will continue to add these differences in the next years, causes the emergence of some negative effects when it is used except its intended purpose. Internet addiction is regarded as one of these drawbacks. This study examines the relationship between internet addiction and personality traits of high school students. Participants consist of 927 students (female= 440, 47.5%; male= 487, 52.5%) from various high schools in the provincial center of İstanbul.  The ages of the students vary from 14 to 18 and the majority of them are 16 years old. The results of this study, which is realized to analyze the relationship between internet addiction and personal traits, indicate that personality traits such as extraversion and openness were negatively low level related to internet addiction whereas conscientiousness was positively low level associated. When the variables of personality traits are considered as whole, it can be observed that a low level and positive significant relationship (R= .22, p&lt; .01) reveals between internet addiction and personality traits.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Özet</strong></p><p>İnternet insanoğlunun hayatına girdiği günden itibaren insanların hayatına farklılıklar katmış ve bundan sonraki süreçte de katmaya devam edecek gibi görünmektedir. Ancak internetin amacı dışında kullanılması bireyin günlük hayatını olumsuz şekilde etkileyen bazı aksaklıkların ortaya çıkmasına neden olmaktadır. Bu olumsuzluklardan biri de internet bağımlılığı olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Bu araştırmada lise öğrencilerinin internet bağımlılık düzeyinin kişilik özellikleriyle olan ilişkisinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın katılımcıları İstanbul il merkezinde yer alan farklı liselerde öğrenim gören 927 öğrenciden oluşmuştur. Katılımcıların 440’ı (%47.5) bayan, 487’si (%52.5) erkektir. Öğrenciler 14 ile 18 yaşları arasında ve çoğunluğu 16 yaşındadır. İnternet bağımlılık düzeyinin kişilik özellikleriyle ilişkisini incelemek amacıyla yapılan bu çalışmada internet bağımlılık düzeyinin kişilik özelliklerine göre farklılaştığı tespit edilmiştir. İnternet bağımlılık düzeyinin dışadönüklük kişilik özelliğiyle düşük düzeyde negatif ilişkili, özdenetim kişilik özelliği ile düşük düzeyde pozitif ilişkili ve yeniliğe açıklık kişilik özelliği ile düşük düzeyde negatif ilişkili olduğu görülmektedir. Kişilik özellikleri değişkenleri birlikte ele alındığında internet bağımlılığı ile pozitif, düşük düzeyde ve anlamlı ilişkili olduğu görülmektedir (R= .22, p&lt; .01).</p>

Abstract Background: The increase in the number of Internet users has increased Internet dependence worldwide. In adolescents, this dependence may interfere with sleep, which is important for the development of psychophysiological capabilities. However, few large-scale surveys have described the relationship between Internet addiction (IA) and sleep disturbance using standardized questionnaires. We conducted a survey in one prefecture in Japan to determine the relationship between sleep disturbance and IA in adolescents based on the categories of the Young Diagnostic Questionnaire (YDQ).Methods: In 2016, high school students (N=10,405, age range: 15–16 years) in all 54 daytime high schools in the selected prefecture were surveyed using a self-administered questionnaire. Participants with scores > 5.5 points on the Japanese version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index were defined as having a sleep disturbance. IA was evaluated using the YDQ: Participants with five to eight YDQ items present were classified as having IA; those with three or four items present were classified as “at risk of IA”; and those with two or less YDQ items were classified as “non-IA”. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed with sleep disturbance as the dependent variable, IA as the explanatory variable, and adjustments for eight other variables.Results: High YDQ scores were associated with a high prevalence of sleep disturbance in boys and girls. These findings persisted after controlling for other factors in the multiple regression model.Conclusions: Among Japanese adolescents, there was a significant independent relationship between IA and sleep disturbance.

Abstract Background: The increase in the number of Internet users has increased Internet dependence worldwide. In adolescents, this dependence interferes with sleep, which is important for the development of psychophysiological capabilities. However, few large-scale surveys have descriptively examined the relationship between Internet addiction (IA) and sleep disturbance using standardized questionnaires. We conducted this study to determine the relationship between sleep disturbance in adolescents and IA based on the categories of the Young Diagnostic Questionnaire (YDQ) through a complete survey of one prefecture in Japan.Methods: In 2016, a self-report questionnaire was used to survey high school students (n=10,405, age range: 15–16 years) in all 54 day-boarding high schools in the selected prefecture. We defined “sleep disturbance” by scores greater than 5.5 points on the Japanese version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. IA was evaluated using the YDQ: “IA,” when five of the eight YDQ items were present; “at-risk,” when three or four YDQ items were reported; and “non-IA,” when two or less YDQ items were positive. Multiple logistic regression analysis was undertaken with sleep disturbance as the dependent variable, IA as the explanatory variable, and adjustments for eight items.Results: High YDQ scores were associated with high prevalence rates of sleep disturbance in boys and girls. These findings persisted after controlling for other factors in the multiple regression model.Conclusions: Among Japanese adolescents, there was a significant independent relationship between IA and sleep disturbances.

The Relationship

Distinctive personality traits account for every person, who they are, and how they behave. These have impacts on the way people perceive the world. Like adults, children and adolescents can be described in terms of personality traits such as characteristics, patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. This study reports the personality traits and extent of a misdemeanor of high school students. Also, it seeks to find out if one's personality traits affect the behavioral tendencies and vice-versa, how these traits develop across childhood and adolescence, and how they relate in the transition of adolescence period that involves changes in biological, socio-emotional, and well-being. The vast majority of research has focused more on adulthood and is scarcer than adolescent personality traits research. Additionally, the relationship between personality traits and misdemeanor and the demographic variables was also explored.

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between Internet addiction and family functioning in high school students. Materials and Methods: This is an analytical study with a cross-sectional design conducted on 796 high school students in Rasht city, Iran who were selected using multi-stage cluster random sampling method. Data collection tools were a demographic form, the Young’s Internet Addiction Test, and the Family Assessment Device. Chi-Square test and rank-ordered logistic regression analysis were used for data analysis. Results:The response rate of of students was 86.81%; 85.7% had at least two family members who were using the Internet; 71.2% of students had no addiction, 27.5% were exposed to Internet addiction and 1.3% had Internet addiction. The majority (65.0%) of studnets had unhealthy family functioning. The relationship between Internet addiction and family functioning was statistically significant (P=0,001). There was a significant statistical relationship between Internet addiction and family income (P= 0.003), fatherchr('39')s job (P=0.001), and duartion of internet usage per day (P=0.001). Logistic regression model showed that the family functioning score (OR=1.02, 95% CI;1.01-1.04, P=0.001), duration of Internet usage per day (OR=1.02, 95% CI;1.11-1.20, P=0.0001), and gender (male) (OR=1.02, 95% CI;1.26-2.58, P=0.001) significantly affected Internet addiction. Conclusion:Due to the direct statistical relationship between Internet addiction and family functioning, it is necessary to pay serious attention to the phenomenon of Internet addiction and make appropriate plans for adolescents and their families to use the Internet properly.
