Self-Discrepancy Theory02:45

Self-Discrepancy Theory

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.
Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena01:15

Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena

Drug dependence, abuse, and addiction are complex phenomena that can precipitate various abnormal states. Physical dependence refers to a state of pharmacological adaptation to a drug. This adaptation often results in tolerance—a reduced response to the drug after repeated administrations. When the drug use is abruptly stopped, withdrawal symptoms occur due to the body's need to readjust from the pharmacologically induced imbalance. However, tolerance and withdrawal symptoms do not necessarily...
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder01:28

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by recurrent obsessions, compulsions, or both, which consume significant time and interfere with daily functioning. Obsessions involve persistent, intrusive, and unwanted thoughts, images, or urges that evoke anxiety. Common examples include irrational fears of contamination or harm. Compulsions are repetitive behaviors or mental acts performed to reduce the anxiety caused by obsessions. For instance, individuals...

Borderline Personality Disorder

Borderline Personality Disorder is a complex and multifaceted mental health condition characterized by pervasive instability in interpersonal relationships, self-image, emotions, and impulse control. This instability manifests in extreme emotional reactions, fear of abandonment, and self-destructive behaviors. The disorder significantly impacts daily functioning, often leading to distress in both personal and professional domains.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder01:30

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings.
Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication01:30

Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication

Since the early 2000s, computer-mediated communication (CMC) has grown rapidly, playing a crucial role in self-development. A key distinction between CMC and real-life interactions is the lack of a physically present partner. This absence makes non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, body language, and paralinguistic signals unavailable in CMC platforms like email, instant messaging, or social media. The lack of these cues can create ambiguity and complicate how feedback is interpreted.The...

Summary

Problematic internet use (PUI) is linked to compulsivity dimensions. Reward drive and cognitive rigidity are key targets for PUI prevention and intervention, while perfectionism shows a negative association.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Public Health
  • Mental Health Research

Background:

  • Problematic internet use (PUI) poses significant societal and public health challenges.
  • Compulsivity is a key personality trait linked to PUI, but its dimensions and their specific relationships with PUI symptoms are not well understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To clarify the unique relationships between compulsivity dimensions (perfectionism, reward drive, cognitive rigidity) and PUI symptoms.
  • To utilize a symptom-based network approach for detailed analysis.

Main Methods:

  • A regularized partial-correlation network was fitted using a large UK sample (N=122,345).
  • Bridge centrality and node predictability analyses were conducted to identify key network components.

Main Results:

  • Reward drive and cognitive rigidity were identified as key bridge nodes positively associated with PUI symptoms.
  • Perfectionism showed a negative association with PUI symptoms.
  • Specific dimensions of compulsivity demonstrated distinct relationships with various PUI symptoms, such as financial consequences and distress relief.

Conclusions:

  • Distinct relationships exist between compulsivity dimensions and PUI symptoms, highlighting the need for targeted interventions.
  • Reward drive and cognitive rigidity are potential targets for PUI prevention and intervention strategies.
