Abstract | Background: Internet addiction (IA) and depression are common among adolescents and often are co-occurring. This study examined the network structures of IA and depressive symptoms (depression hereafter) in adolescents. Methods: A total of 1,009 adolescents were recruited. IA and depression were measured using the Internet Addiction Test (IAT) and the 9 items-Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), respectively. A network analysis was conducted to identify central symptoms and bridge symptoms using centrality indices. Network stability was evaluated using the case-dropping procedure. The Network Comparison Test (NCT) was conducted to examine whether network characteristics differed by gender. Results: Network analysis revealed that nodes IAT-15 (“Preoccupation with the Internet”), IAT-2 (“Neglect chores to spend more time online”), PHQ-6 (“Guilty”), and IAT-16 (“Request an extension for longer time spent online”) were the most central symptoms within the model of coexisting IA and depression. The most important bridge symptom was node IAT-11 (“Anticipation for future online activities”), followed by IAT-12 (“Fear that life is boring and empty without the Internet”) and IAT-19 (“Spend more time online over going out with others”). Gender did not significantly influence the network structure. The IA and depression network model showed a high degree of stability. Conclusion: The central symptoms along with key bridge symptoms identified could be potentially targeted when treating and preventing IA and depression among adolescents. |
