During middle childhood, from ages 6 to 11, peer groups become dominant in reinforcing gender norms. Children in this age group often align with same-gender peer groups, which actively encourage behaviors that conform to traditional gender roles.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Internet Studies
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Problematic Internet use (PIU) is a growing concern among students.
  • Specific problematic Internet use (SPIU) behaviors include online shopping, pornography, social network site (SNS) usage, and Internet gaming.
  • Generalized problematic Internet use (GPIU) encompasses overall excessive Internet engagement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the predictive effect of SPIU on GPIU among students.
  • To quantify the effect size of SPIU on GPIU.
  • To investigate gender differences in both GPIU and SPIU across various educational levels (elementary to university).

Main Methods:

  • A large-scale study involving 5,215 Chinese students (aged 10-23).
  • Self-report data collected on demographics, online shopping, online pornography, SNS usage, Internet gaming, and GPIU.
  • Statistical analyses controlled for demographic variables to assess predictors and gender differences.

Main Results:

  • Online shopping, online pornography, SNS usage, and Internet gaming were significant positive predictors of GPIU.
  • Internet gaming emerged as the most critical predictor of GPIU.
  • Significant gender differences in Internet gaming and GPIU were found across most educational levels.
  • Gender differences in online shopping and online pornography were significant for educational levels above elementary school.

Conclusions:

  • SPIU behaviors, particularly Internet gaming, strongly predict GPIU in students.
  • Gender plays a significant role in problematic Internet use patterns, varying by behavior and educational level.
  • Interventions for PIU should consider and address gender differences across different educational stages.
