Learning and reinforcement mechanisms can result in increased and uncontrolled Internet use, that manifests itself in the form of, for example, neglecting important areas of life like relationships or work. To test these associations in a natural environment, we conducted a 14-day ambulatory end-of-day assessment together with a diagnostic interview at baseline to identify different severity levels of PUI. The sample (N\u2009=\u2009900) was part of a multi-center study (FOR2974) including participants who engaged in at least one of the following online activities: gaming, pornography use, social network use, or buying-shopping in either a non-problematic (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009419), risky (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009242), or pathological (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009239) way. The adherence rate was about 88%. The data were analyzed using ANOVAs, generalized linear mixed modeling (GLMM), and multigroup multilevel structural equation modeling (MG-ML-SEM). In participants experiencing more severe PUI, ANOVAs revealed greater neglect of other areas of life (\n                    <jats:italic>f<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.531), longer use times (\n                    <jats:italic>f<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.442), and more stress (\n                    <jats:italic>f<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.220\u20130.248) as well as worse mood in daily life (\n                    <jats:italic>f<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.220\u20130.237).

Results of the MG-ML-SEM indicate that pleasure and relief are reinforcing factors for continued use of the Internet with temptation as the central main driver (strongest effect sizes), as theoretically expected. With the extensive sample, the longitudinal approach, and the robust statistical methods, it shows that assumptions of common theoretical models for PUI can also be found in everyday life.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0352776","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,29]],"date-time":"2026-07-29T17:25:40Z","timestamp":1785345940000},"page":"e0352776","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Temptation as a key driver between affective states and usage outcomes of problematic usage of the Internet: A 14-day ambulatory assessment study"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6351-8638","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Andreas","family":"Oelker","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Knorr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matthias","family":"Brand","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Silke M.","family":"M\u00fcller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"on behalf of the FOR2974 Consortium","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"pone.0352776.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"152346","DOI":"10.1016\/j.comppsych.2022.152346","article-title":"Advances in problematic usage of the internet research - a narrative review by experts from the European network for problematic usage of the internet","volume":"118","author":"NA Fineberg","year":"2022","journal-title":"Compr Psychiatry"},{"key":"pone.0352776.ref002","unstructured":"World Health Organization.
