Article Synopsis
- This study assessed the prevalence of problematic Internet use (33%) and problematic gaming (3.1%) among a large sample of 41,507 Spanish adolescents, using valid measurement scales.
- It identified factors influencing risky behaviors, noting that females with higher parental education and increased online time were at risk for Internet problems, while males from unstable living environments were more likely to exhibit problematic gaming.
- The study suggests that the ICD-11 framework offers more accurate prevalence rates compared to the DSM-5, which may overstate the pathologization of these behaviors.
