“The exacerbation of depression, hostility, and social anxiety in the course of Internet addiction among adolescents: A prospective study” is a study that I was particularly interested because of the growing amount of stimulation in the last decade. The authors of the article are Ko, Chih-Hung; Liu, Tai-Ling; Wang, Peng-Wei; Chen, Cheng-Sheng; and Yen, Cheng-Fang. In 2014 the scholarly article was published by volume 55.6 of Comprehensive Psychiatry in New York. http://alturl.com/r3of3. The articles approaches a steep rise in internet addiction and the extent to which it influences various conditions in adolescence such as depression, hostility, and social anxiety of adolescents. The study both evaluates individuals world wide that are both going through and remitting their internet addictions. This was done by recruited 2293 people in grade 7 these students to be evaluated, this process was repeated one year later based on the research question what prolonged effects on ones mental health does internet addiction cause? The research question of course required data on personal and phycological traits that must be acquired through in depth interviews and surveys research question. The study used internal coding to determing the relationship between the forementioned various elements. I asses the research to have been done very well and I found it crucial to the study that they evaluated this as a psychological issue rather than a social phenomenon. This is what required the study to asses each individuals conditions in depth interviews. I was amazed to discover that individuals who had suffered from internet addiction took up to a year to recover from increased hostility and depression.
