The study objectives were to assess the determinants and psychosocial correlates associated with Internet addictive behaviors among adolescents.\n <\/jats:p>\n \n Materials and methods:<\/jats:bold>\n A cross-sectional study design was applied among a random sample (n=805) of Cypriot adolescents (mean age: 14.7 years). Self-completed questionnaires, including Internet use characteristics, Young Internet Addiction Test, and Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, were utilized.\n <\/jats:p>\n \n Results:<\/jats:bold>\n Among the study population, the prevalence rates of borderline addictive Internet use (BIU) and addictive Internet use (AIU) were 18.4% and 2%, respectively. Adolescents with BIU had an increased likelihood of concomitantly presenting with abnormal peer relations (AOR: 5.28; 95% confidence interval, CI: 3.37\u201323.38), conduct problems (AOR: 4.77; 95% CI: 2.82\u20138.08), hyperactivity (AOR: 5.58; 95% CI: 2.58\u201312.10) and emotional symptoms (AOR: 2.85; 95% CI: 1.53\u20135.32). Adolescent AIU was significantly associated with abnormal conduct (AOR: 22.31; 95% CI: 6.90\u201372.19), peer problems (AOR: 7.14; 95% CI: 1.36\u201337.50), emotional symptoms (AOR: 19.06; 95% 6.06\u201360.61), and hyperactivity (AOR: 9.49, 95% CI: 1.87\u201348.19). The determinants of BIU and AIU included accessing the Internet for the purposes of retrieving sexual information (AOR: 1.17; 95% CI: 1.17\u20133.23) and participating in games with monetary awards (AOR: 1.90; 95% CI: 1.15\u20133.14).\n <\/jats:p>\n \n Conclusions:<\/jats:bold>\n Both BIU and AIU were adversely associated with notable behavioral and social maladjustment among adolescents.\n <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/ijamh-2013-0313","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,21]],"date-time":"2014-05-21T08:55:22Z","timestamp":1400662522000},"page":"369-375","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Predictive factors and psychosocial effects of Internet addictive behaviors in Cypriot adolescents"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Elena","family":"Critselis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Second University Department of Pediatrics, \u201cP. & A.
