British psychologists have found evidence of a link between excessive Internet use and depression, a research has shown.
Leeds University researchers, writing in the Psychopathology journal, said a small proportion of Internet users were classed as Internet addicts and that people in this group were more likely to be depressed than non-addicted users.
The article on the relationship between excessive Internet use and depression, a questionnaire-based study of 1,319 young people and adults, used data gathered from respondents to links placed on UK-based social networking sites.
The respondents answered questions about how much time they spent on the Internet and what they used it for; they also completed the Beck Depression Inventory-a series of questions designed to measure the severity of depression.
The six-page report, by the university’s Institute of Psychological Sciences, said 18 of the people who completed the questionnaire were Internet addicts.
"Our research indicates that excessive Internet use is associated with depression, but what we don’t know is which comes first—are depressed people drawn to the Internet or does the Internet cause depression?" the article’s lead author, Dr. Catriona Morrison, said. "What is clear is that, for a small part of people, excessive use of the Internet could be a warning signal for depressive tendencies."
The age range of all respondents was between 16 and 51 years, with a mean age of 21.24. The mean age of the 18 Internet addicts, 13 of whom were males and five females, was 18.3 years. By comparing the scale of depression within this group to that within a group of 18 non-addicted Internet users, researchers found the Internet addicts had a higher incidence of moderate to severe depression than non-addicts. They also discovered that addicts spent proportionately more time browsing sexually pleasing websites, online gaming sites and online communities.
"This study reinforces the public speculation (推测 ) that over-engaging in websites that serve t replace normal social function might be linked to psychological disorders like depression and addiction, Morrison said. "We now need to consider the wider societal implications of this relationship and establish clearly the effects of excessive Internet use on mental health." [br] Internet addicts are people who ________.
选项
A、use the Internet more than enough
B、feel depressed when using the Internet
C、seldom connect to the Internet
D、feel depressed without the Internet
答案
A
解析
根据题干中的Internet addicts定位到第2段。第2段是对第1段的解释说明,第2段提到的Internet addicts和depression之间的关系相当于第1段提到的excessive Internet use和depression之间的关系,由此对等关系可知Internet addicts应为“过度使用互联网的人”。因此,本题应选A。B和D都具有干扰性,因为这两项中提到的depressed来自原文,但depressed并非将某个网民归类为addict(沉迷网络的网民)的标准,可见这两项没有说出addict的重点。
