- Abstract
- The structure of adolescents' behavior at the computer and its correlations with personal peculiarities are described in the article. The study was conducted in a sample of 993 adolescents (ranging 14-18 years). Personality characteristics of adolescents were measured by the Inventory of Child Individual Differences. The study showed that the behaviour of teenagers at the computer has a multidimensional structure. A significant proportion of the variance of computer use is explained by five factors; intensity is crucial to use a computer. The individual style of behaviour is also determined by the content of computer use: fascination with computer games, using simple and advanced applications and virtual communication. It was determined that desire for virtual communication is associated with positive emotionality, sociability, organization, activity, complaisance, empathy, achievement motivation, openness to experience, low level of shyness and antagonism. Teens who spend a lot of time at the computer, in network games and virtual communication are characterized by unconsciousness, obstinacy, and emotional stability. Teens, characterized by the set of personality traits like sociability, activity, low levels of shyness and timidity, stubbornness, antagonistic, distractibility, disorganization and lack of desire for achievements are at risk of excessive use of computer and game addiction.
