Problematic Internet use and intrapersonal and interpersonal attitudes in adolescents

The obtained results are in line with the previous reports from other studies on the problematic Internet use. Furthermore, they broaden this viewpoint with a possible new variables connected with this type of addictive behaviour. They also point to possible determinants of problematic Internet use in the group of high-school students. Therefore, they can contribute to a better understanding of causes for this type of behaviour in this age group. There is also hope that the obtained results will contribute to a more effective planning of preventive treatment aimed at high-school students.
