Abstract

Purpose

In this current review, we aimed to understand technology addiction interventions and provide guidelines for IS scholars to use IT to prevent or attenuate technology addiction.

Design/methodology/approach

We systematically reviewed articles associated with technology and substance addiction interventions. These articles included review articles, peer-reviewed articles, conference proceedings, and online articles.

Findings

We propose a roadmap for technology addiction intervention development and testing based on the review. Next, we summarize the similarities and differences between substance addiction and technology addiction in terms of antecedents, negative consequences, and neurobiological mechanisms. Based on this, two types of potential interventions for substance addiction were reviewed to explore how they can be used for technology addiction. To conclude, IT-mediated interventions were summarized, and promising avenues for future research were highlighted.

Originality/value

Technology addiction has a broad range of adverse impacts on mental health and well-being. With the knowledge and insight from this review, the Information Systems community can become part of the solution to technology addiction.

技术成瘾的潜在治疗方法：对信息系统学者的启示

目的在本综述中，我们旨在了解技术成瘾干预措施，并为信息系统学者利用信息技术预防或减轻技术成瘾提供指导。这些文章包括综述文章、同行评审文章、会议论文集和在线文章。研究结果我们在综述的基础上提出了技术成瘾干预开发和测试的路线图。接下来，我们总结了药物成瘾和技术成瘾在前因、负面影响和神经生物学机制方面的异同。在此基础上，我们回顾了两类针对药物成瘾的潜在干预措施，以探讨如何将它们用于技术成瘾。最后，对以信息技术为媒介的干预措施进行了总结，并强调了未来研究的前景。借助本综述中的知识和见解，信息系统界可以成为解决技术成瘾问题的一部分。
