Research Article: Problematic Use of Internet Associates with Poor Quality of Life via Psychological Distress in Invididuals with ADHD
Abstract:
Problematic use of the internet (PUI) involves excessive, poorly controlled use of the internet that results in distress and impaired functionality. Due to the high percentage of people using smartphones worldwide, many individuals with PUI may experience problematic smartphone use (PSPU). Problematic gaming (PG) and problematic use of social media use (PUSM) are two types of specific forms of PUI that may also involve smartphone use., However, given different natures of these activities, their relationships with psychological distress and other aspects of well-being may vary and be of interest to healthcare providers. Therefore, in-depth investigation of the relevant associations as well as potential mediating factors is needed to improve understanding, especially in populations vulnerable to PUI, such as those with psychiatric disorders.
