COMMENTS: Internet addiction was associated with depressive states, but NOT with depressive traits. This means that Internet use was the likely cause of depression. Put simply, depression was not a pre-existing condition.

Abstract
DOEL:
Die huidige studie het drie kwessies ondersoek: (i) of internetmishandelaars 'n depressiewe toestand sonder depressiewe eienskappe vertoon; (ii) watter simptome gedeel word tussen internetmishandeling en depressie; en (iii) watter persoonlikheidseienskappe in Internet-misbruikers getoon is.
METODES:
Ninety-nine male and 58 female participants aged 18-24 years were screened with the Chen Internet Addiction Scale. After screening, subjects were separated into the high- (n = 73) and low-risk (n = 84) Internet abuser groups. Participants were respectively administered the Chinese version of the Beck Depression Inventory-II to assess a depressive state and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 to assess a depressive trait.
RESULTATE:
The present results showed that high-risk Internet abusers exhibited a stronger depressive state than low-risk Internet abusers in the Beck Depression Inventory-II. However, high-risk Internet abusers didnot show a depressive trait in the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 compared to low-risk Internet abusers. Therefore, high-risk Internet abuse participants exhibited a depressive state without a depressive trait.
GEVOLGTREKKINGS:
In 'n vergelyking van die simptome van depressie en internetmisbruik, is bevind dat hoërisiko-internetmishandeling deelnemers gemeenskaplike gedragsmeganismes met depressie gedeel het, insluitend die psigiatriese simptome van verlies van belangstelling, aggressiewe gedrag, depressiewe bui en skuldige gevoelens. Hoërisiko-internet misbruik deelnemers kan meer vatbaar wees vir 'n tydelike depressiewe toestand, maar nie 'n permanente depressiewe eienskap nie. The present findings have clinical implications for the prevention and treatment of Internet abuse.
