Abstract
Context
Internet is an integral part of modern life and it provides an easy and immediate way for people to explore information and communicate with other people around the world. It has become widespread in the lives of children, adolescents and college students in recent years. Loss of control over internet use, however might lead to negative impacts on individual psychological well-being, peer and family interaction, academic performance and daily life functions.
Metodă
Un studiu exploratoriu a fost efectuat printre studenții 300 care alăptează în anumite colegii de asistență medicală din orașul Ludhiana, Punjab. Pentru selectarea eșantionului sa folosit tehnica de eșantionare sistematică. Datele au fost colectate cu o scală standardizată de dependență de internet (Dr. K. Young) și o listă de control structurată pentru a evalua factorii contributivi ai dependenței de internet prin utilizarea metodei de auto-raportare.
