Temat: IAT. Levels of internet addiction

This question was surprising:
"How often do you neglect household chores to spend more time on-line?"
Actually I don't neglect it just to be online, but I find myself stuck with my computer sometimes.
I scored 38 in the test. Not bad.
But I gave my only "Always" to the question: "life without internet would be no fun" or sorts.

How high?

You get more points for being 'in denial'.

I'm addicted to the internet, but don't deny it.

You are an average on-line user. You may surf the Web a bit too long at times, but you have control over your usage.

Hmm, I must've cheated on some of the answers.

This one:
How often do you choose to spend more time on-line over going out with others?
Last night I decided it's too cold/far/dark to go and meet my friends :(
Addicted.

Guys, what are you doing here?

taken from FAQ (http://www.netaddiction.com/faq.htm )

Do men and women differ in what they become addicted to?
Gender influences the types of applications and underlying reasons for Internet addiction. Men tend to seek out dominance and sexual fantasy online, while women seek out close friendships, romantic partners, and prefer anonymous communication in which to hide their appearance.

Men are more likely to become addicted to online games, cyberporn, and online gambling, while women are more likely to become addicted to chatting, instant messaging, eBay, and online shopping. It seems to be a natural conclusion that attributes of gender played out in cyberspace parallel the stereotypes men and women have in our society.

hide our appearance??

Unlike recovering alcoholics who must abstain from drinking for life, treatment for Internet addiction focuses on moderation and controlled use of the Internet, much in the way those suffering from eating disorders must relearn healthy eating patterns.Lidia K. edytował(a) ten post dnia 27.11.08 o godzinie 15:00

25. This addiction doesn't mix well with being a worka-party-alco-holic.

36 - unbelievably low score. Can't be true.

20.
Maybe because some of those questions does not apply to me since I live alone. For example nobody yells at me and I don't have to say "only a few minutes more!" ;)
