Assessing the Psychometric Properties of the Internet Addiction Test (IAT) Among Lebanese College Students.

Internet addiction is an emergent problem; yet, both a strong conception of the factors precipitating challenging activities and a gold standard tool for evaluating symptoms are deficient. The aim of this study was to carry out a psychometric analysis using the most commonly employed screening tool, the young Internet Addiction Test (IAT), comprising a sample of Lebanese University medical students.

Recently, two forms of virtue-related humor, benevolent and corrective, have been introduced.

Sex differences in anxiety scores were not significant in the first sample, but were in the second.
