Abstract |
This research, by focusing on the Internet dependence tendency process and consciousness, aimed at establishing and assessing the following three hypotheses; 1)the Internet dependence tendency is prog...ressive, with a process which advances from "affirmative merits" to "distinction trouble with reality", 2) university students with higher Internet dependence tendency are less aware of their dependence tendency, 3) university students with lower Internet dependence tendency are more aware of their dependence tendency, A questionnaire survey of 360 university students, first, confirmed the hypothesis l)by showing that Internet dependence tendency is progressive and that the progression from "affirmative merits" to distinction trouble with reality" is not a linear process but a process with 10 routes. Second, students with higher Internet dependence tendency consist of those who were aware of their tendency, those who were not and those who were unable to decide which group they belonged, which confirmed the hypothesis 2) partially. Third, wider variations in the level of awareness were found among students with lower Internet dependence tendency, which also confirmed the hypothesis 3) partially.show more
