Overuse of the Internet from Adolescents: Parent-Adolescent Proximity

This study addresses the link between Internet use by adolescents and the adolescent-parent relationship. We consider that adolescents' perception of this relationship plays an important role to the Internet addiction. In addition to descriptive analyzes and the relationship between variables, the level of variance in a criterion variable was also analyzed, which can be explained by predictive variables. The study is ex post facto, which means that the variables were not under our control as researchers, but the data were collected after the fact occurred, ie after we identified the level of Internet use in adolescents and the relationship they have with parents.The results of our study showed that adolescents' internet addiction is "average" and there is no age limit and it does not depend on gender either. The results showed that the adolescent parent relationship was negatively associated with Internet addiction in adolescents.
