College students who are addicted to the internet are reporting positive as well as negative effects on their family relationships, reveals a study adding that the blame also goes to parents who do not set limits for either themselves or for kids when it comes to internet use.
The study offers a first step toward the designing of effective interventions to address Problematic Internet Use (PIU) among the college-age population.
College students may be especially vulnerable to developing PIU for reasons that include free Internet access, large blocks of free time, courses that require its use and the sudden freedom from parental control and monitoring.
"We wanted to better understand students with Problematic Internet Use," said Susan Snyder from Georgia State University in the US adding "specifically, we wanted to understand how the internet affects students' family relationships positively and negatively".
