Goals
This study examines comprehensively the longitudinal
relationship between the components of PIU and problematic alcohol
use. Specifically, the occurrence of negative consequences of PIU predicted
an increase in problematic alcohol use. Thus, when the adolescent
experiences personal, social, academic, or work problems as a
consequence of his or her dysfunctional use of the Internet, the problematic
use of alcohol increases.
