Development of a Short Symbol-Based Screening Instrument for Internet Gaming Disorder: The Inclusion of Videogame in the Self (IVS) Scale for Children and Adolescents.

Accurate screening for Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) in children and adolescents remains a challenge in routine clinical settings. This study evaluated the psychometric properties and diagnostic utility of the Inclusion of Videogame in the Self (IVS) scale, a brief pictorial tool assessing the perceived fusion between self and video game. A clinical sample of 189 children and adolescents (M = 13.0 years, SD = 3.2) completed the IVS, IGD, and Social Media Disorder (SMD) measures. While the five-item scale showed a solid factor structure and reliability, diagnostic accuracy was limited. A singl…

Effectiveness of a residential treatment camp for adolescents with problematic Internet use in Japan: A 3-month follow-up pilot controlled study.

BACKGROUND: Problematic Internet use (PIU) is a public health concern in children and adolescents and is associated with physical (e.g., musculoskeletal pain, headache) and mental health problems (e.g., depression, emotional instability). Kagawa Prefecture in Japan introduced a residential treatment camp for adolescent PIU in 2022; however, previous studies on its effectiveness lacked control groups and longitudinal follow-ups.

Enhanced detection of network intrusions and anomalies in internet of things applications using a hybrid artificial intelligence model combining CNN and LSTM.

The rapid development of the internet of things (IoT) has made an increasing number of large-scale, interconnected networks more vulnerable to advanced attacks. There are increased risks of hidden intrusions and compromised security in IoT environments, resulting from class imbalance in network traffic datasets, high-dimensional feature spaces, and the requirement for spatial and temporal anomaly detection. Traditional intrusion detection systems (IDS) fail to address these problems. This research work presents IaADS, an intrusion and anomaly detection system integrating 3 balancing components…

Identifying the Demographic and Internet Use Characteristics of Technology-Facilitated Child Sex Offenders Operating in the Australian, U.S. and U.K. General Population.

The implementation of internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy for adolescents with insomnia comorbid to psychiatric conditions at two child and adolescent psychiatry clinics.

OBJECTIVE: Insomnia is a risk factor related to the onset and course of other mental disorders and is prevalent among adolescents admitted to psychiatric services. While evidence supports the efficacy of cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), uptake of evidence-based interventions in mental health care for children and adolescents is low. Internet delivery can improve access, but research on implementing internet-based CBT (iCBT) in routine care is limited. The aim of this study was to investigate if iCBT for insomnia (iCBT-I) could be successfully implemented at two child and ado…

The longitudinal association between problematic Internet use and psychotic-like experiences in adolescents: Mediated by sleep disturbance and moderated by psychological resilience.

Problematic Internet use (PIU) has been empirically identified as a risk factor for future psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) among adolescents.

An open trial of the Things You Do Questionnaire: Changes in daily actions during internet-delivered treatment for depressive and anxiety symptoms.

Many psychological treatments aim to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety by modifying maladaptive patterns of cognitions, behavior, and other actions. The Things You Do Questionnaire (TYDQ) was developed to measure the frequency of actions that are associated with psychological health in a reliable and valid manner. The present study examined treatment-related change in the frequency of actions measured by the TYDQ. Using an uncontrolled single-group design, 409 participants with self-reported symptoms of depression, anxiety, or both received access to an 8-week internet-delivered treatm…

A Systematic Review of the Association of Internet Gaming Disorder and Excessive Social Media Use With Psychiatric Comorbidities in Children and Adolescents: Is It a Curse or a Blessing?

Internet gaming and social media usage (SMU), particularly among children and teenagers, have witnessed a remarkable surge over the past decade. However, it remains uncertain whether this widespread usage has a positive or negative impact. The primary objective of this systematic review was to investigate the diverse effects of excessive video game playing and extensive SMU, both favorable and detrimental, on the psychological and mental well-being of children and adolescents.

Comparison of internet-based and face-to-face cognitive behavioral therapy for obsessive-compulsive disorder: A systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is widely recognized as an effective treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). However, few patients are able to receive CBT. Internet-based CBT (ICBT) may be able to overcome this problem. In this study, we aimed to compare the efficacy of CBT, therapist-guided ICBT (TG-ICBT), unguided ICBT (UG-ICBT), and none therapist-guided ICBT (NTG-ICBT) by a network meta-analysis. The primary outcome was the mean change in OCD severity measured by the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) or the Children's Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (CY-BOC…
