Millions of users access the Internet worldwide, and statistics indicate the number of users is growing at an exponential rate. Prior research demonstrates that Internet use affects social, emotional, physical, and psychological well-being. Although arguments have been made to suggest the Internet benefits individuals socially, mentally, academically, and emotionally, the literature indicates this technology can become addictive to some users. This dissertation attempts to provide information comparing the Internet to other addictive disorders and demonstrate existing similarities, differences, and treatment among them. The method used for this study was a quantitative questionnaire. The results indicated Internet Addiction was not present in the current sample. The Internet Addiction Test used in the research did provide scores consistent with prior research demonstrating the need to assess problem areas within an individual's life or to assist in determining if Internet use is associated with attempts to deal with motions.
