OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity/Impulsivity (ADHD) symptoms and pathological Internet use (PIU) in adolescents. METHODS: Participants were 80 adolescents (M = 14.4 years, SD = 2.06), ranging in age from 11 to 17 and 44% (N = 35) were female. Adolescents’ pathological internet use was assessed by self-report Young’s Internet Addiction Scale (YIA), and ADHD symptoms were evaluated by Conners Parent Rating Scale-Revised Short (CPRS-RS).
RESULTS: Regression analysis indicated that the difference for PIU symptoms in adolescents with ADHD and non-ADHD group was statistically significant (B = -0.39, p < 0.05), after controlling socioeconomic status. Compared with non-ADHD group, adolescents with ADHD were more likely to report PIU symptoms.
CONCLUSION: These results suggest that PIU is associated with symptoms of ADHD in adolescents. It seems imperative to watch out for risk of possible pathological Internet use in adolescents with ADHD.
