A Study on the Effects of Internet Addiction and the Mental Anxiety Symptoms of College

本研究的目的在探討大學生網路沈迷與焦慮的現狀比較不同背景因素的大學生在網路沈迷與焦慮症狀的差異，並探討大學生的焦慮症狀對網路沈迷的預測性。本研究經有關理論與文獻探討後，選定及自編工具─「網路使用與心理狀態量表」，並以359名大學生為施測對象，結果發現：一、 大學生整體平均而言，網路沈迷症狀指數比中數稍高，顯示大學生網路沈迷症狀之普遍。二、 大學男生比女生在網路沈迷的各個症狀都有顯著的傾向。其中以「人際健康問題」、「時間管理問題」最顯著，「戒斷症狀」其次。三、 大學生中，就讀「數理工程」類科者在網路沈迷現象上比「教育」類科者明顯較高，其他與「語文社會」、「商業管理」等類科者比較，則無顯著差異。四、 不同年級或研究所階段的大學生之間的網路沈迷現象，彼此並無顯著差異。五、 大學男生與女生的焦慮症狀程度的指數均比中數略高，顯示大學生焦慮症狀是普遍的。六、 大學男生與女生的焦慮症狀程度比較，整體而言並無顯著差異。但個別而言，女生的「生活失序」指數明顯較男生高。七、 就讀不同學科類別的的大學生，彼此之間在焦慮症狀的整體或個別指數上均無顯著差異。八、 不同年級或研究所階段的大學生，彼此之間在焦慮症狀的整體或個別指數上均無顯著差異。九、 大學生的焦慮症狀升高將導致網路沈迷的各個症狀，其預測性達極顯著。十、 大學生的個別焦慮症狀中，以「悲觀退縮」與「精神失控」對產生網路沈迷的症狀最具預測性。此外，本研究提出八項建議供教育與輔導工作者，網路業者、及後續研究者參考。
