The Internet Addiction versus Aggressive Behaviour among the Youth

Abstract

The aim of the article is to address and to answer the question to what degree secondary school students are addicted to the Internet and whether this addiction is interrelated with the phenomenon of aggression among young people. The presented findings were obtained on the basis of Kimberly Young’s Addiction Questionnaire and B. Urban’s Aggressive Behaviour Chart revealing stunning results as in case of secondary school students (contrary to the younger pupils referred to and described in the literature) there are no direct or definite relations between the degree of the Internet addiction and aggressive behaviour manifested by them.
