Abstract

Rather than attempting to defend the existence of Internet Addiction Disorder (IAD)—or the title's validity—this research study focused on the appearance of potential symptoms in the high school student population at a private international educational institution in the State of Kuwait by inquiring about their routine Internet usage behaviors. Through the distribution of an anonymous questionnaire to 188 high school students, the study revealed the emergence of several symptoms related to IAD; however, most of the addictive behaviors reported were not detrimental. In addition, demographic information acted as partial indicators: gender was trivial, while grade level presented new information that positively correlated low workloads and low stress levels with increased Internet usage.
