- Association between Personality Traits and Internet Addiction Among College Students: A Systematic Review
Abstract Content (not more than 300 word, should include: Introduction, Objective, Methodology, critical findings & Conclusion):
Background: With the increasing digital connectivity, the problem of internet addiction among college students has become more severe. This review systematically examines the relationship between personality traits and internet addiction among college students. The aim is to bring together existing knowledge and suggest interventions that promote a healthy balance between technology use and well-being.
Objective: The purpose of this review is to give an overview of the personality traits that make an individual more prone to internet addiction. It also aims to identify the personality traits that act as protective factors against internet addiction. Additionally, the review examines the level of addiction based on gender and its impact on academic performance.
Methods: Methods: Using terms linked to personality traits, internet addiction, problematic internet use, students, and academic achievement, a comprehensive search was carried out on PubMed and Google Scholar. After that, a narrative synthesis was carried out.
Result: The majority of research points to a favourable relationship between personality characteristics and internet addiction.
Conclusion: After reviewing several studies, it was found that certain personality traits are associated with internet addiction among college students. Extraversion was consistently found to be a predictor, with extroverted individuals more likely to excessively use the internet. Neuroticism was positively correlated with internet addiction, indicating emotional instability in those who engage in excessive online behaviour. On the other hand, conscientiousness was found to be a protective factor, with higher levels linked to lower susceptibility to internet addiction. The review also highlighted gaps in the current literature and the need for longitudinal studies and cross-cultural investigations to make the findings more generalisable.
