Abstract

Excessive engagement in online activities, also known as Internet addiction can have detrimental impacts on the mental, social, and physical well-being of individuals. This research work aims to contribute to the existing body of knowledge on internet addiction and alexithymia to provide insights that may inform the development of targeted interventions to support university students at risk of internet addiction. With emotional intelligence as the moderator and cognitive distortion as the mediator, the study investigated the effect of alexithymia on internet addiction. The approach of this cross-sectional design allowed researchers to investigate intricate interactions among several elements influencing internet addiction among university students in northern Indian areas. For data collection, the study created a thorough English 53-item questionnaire. Initially, 600 surveys were distributed, and 508 useable surveys were used. All the study hypotheses have received adequate support from empirical evidence, thus offering significant insights. This study supported a direct positive correlation between alexithymia and internet addiction. Also, the findings revealed a positive relationship between alexithymia and cognitive distortions which further leads to internet addiction. Moreover, moderation results show that emotional intelligence acts as a significant moderator in this relationship between alexithymia and internet addiction. The study has added a unique antecedent of cognitive distortion of internet addiction, which is currently under-researched in previous works. This research adds to the knowledge of alexithymia as not only a personality characteristic but also a variable that should be taken into account regarding constituent processes of the regulation of emotions.

"亚历山大症、认知扭曲与网络成瘾:情商的调节作用"。
过度参与网络活动,也就是所谓的网瘾,会对个人的心理、社交和身体健康产生有害影响。这项研究工作旨在为现有的有关网络成瘾和亚历山大症的知识体系做出贡献,从而为制定有针对性的干预措施提供信息,以支持有网络成瘾风险的大学生。本研究以情商为调节因子,以认知扭曲为中介因子,调查了亚历山大症对网络成瘾的影响。这种横断面设计方法使研究人员能够调查影响印度北部地区大学生网络成瘾的几个因素之间错综复杂的相互作用。为了收集数据,本研究制作了一份详尽的 53 项英文问卷。最初共发放了 600 份调查问卷,使用了 508 份可用问卷。所有研究假设都得到了经验证据的充分支持,从而提供了重要的启示。本研究支持情感障碍与网络成瘾之间存在直接的正相关。研究结果还显示,情感失调症与认知扭曲之间存在正相关,而认知扭曲会进一步导致网络成瘾。此外,调节结果表明,情商在亚历山大症与网络成瘾之间的关系中起着重要的调节作用。本研究为网络成瘾的认知扭曲增加了一个独特的前因,而这在以往的研究中还没有得到充分的研究。这项研究增加了人们对情感障碍的认识,情感障碍不仅是一种人格特征,也是情绪调节组成过程中需要考虑的一个变量。
