I urgently need a copy of the "Research Report on Online Consumption of College Students"!

The particularity of adolescents’ physical and mental development. Adolescence is a special stage of continuous physical development and psychological maturity in life. Adolescents in this period are sensitive and receptive to new things, seek and realize themselves, are curious, long for friendship and communication, and have relatively weak self-control. It is precisely because of these characteristics, coupled with the current fierce competitive environment, that they particularly need the understanding, recognition and support of others. However, in real life, due to the constraints of some factors, such as the fact that most teenagers are only children and the establishment and consolidation of real interpersonal relationships is not easy, etc., there is a need for various needs such as interpersonal communication, social support, and self-realization. It is difficult to be satisfied in reality.

The Internet, with its unique way and rich content, presents people with a new virtual social environment, which undoubtedly provides young people with the best stage to realize their own needs. Online games allow them to find themselves and realize themselves, and online chat gives them space and objects to talk to. When they get happiness and satisfaction for the first time in this magical virtual world, they want to get it again. Due to their relatively weak self-control, this repetitive behavior often cannot be well controlled, and when it reaches the point of getting out of control, they become addicted.

In addition, some psychological problems among teenagers can also easily lead to addiction. For example, those who are introverted, not good at communicating and want to be taken seriously but are very lonely; people who have suffered some setbacks in life; children with discord in their families; those who have no specialties, poor academic performance, depressed mood, and poor performance due to changes in the environment. Teenagers who are declining and struggling to adapt are most likely to become addicted. What these teenagers feel in real life is not success, but frustration and failure. The special characteristics of the Internet, such as anonymity and limited sensory contact, make it easy for them to succeed online. This kind of ease online and constant setbacks in real life will inevitably lead to more repeated online behaviors.

---The unique charm of the Internet. American psychologist Greenfield pointed out that the reason why the Internet has such a powerful power to make so many people addicted is that it can give users a sense of intimacy, timelessness, and freedom from depression. This kind of power is unparalleled by anything else. There have been. This is the charm of the Internet, and it is also determined by its own benefits and advantages. The specific manifestations are as follows:

First, the Internet has broadened a source of information and communication channels for young people. In the information society, whoever can master information faster and more will gain the initiative in the competition. In order to obtain the information they need quickly and efficiently, teenagers turn to the Internet, and their weak self-control often makes them dependent on the Internet.

Second, the Internet has expanded the social scope and communication objects of young people, satisfying people's innate desire to participate and be gregarious. Teenagers who have many worries in real life can vent their emotions freely here, speak freely with confidence, and easily find their "home". The tension and conflicts in real interpersonal relationships make them even more addicted. Once they get used to the conversational way of communication between humans and machines, they will definitely face more problems or even suffer failures in real social activities, making them even more obsessed with the Internet.

Third, the Internet provides young people with a variety of fascinating entertainment activities. The latest popular songs on the Internet, exciting film and television blockbusters, and novel, exciting and endlessly changing online interactive games have an irresistible temptation for them. Once attracted by these entertainments, in order to gain more fun, they will spend a lot of time online, and as a result, they cannot stop.

---Internet cafe factors. In recent years, with the rapid development of the Internet, Internet cafes have sprouted all over the country. Due to the large number of Internet cafes, open all night and low prices, they have naturally become the first choice for teenagers to surf the Internet. However, due to the current irregular and illegal operations in the Internet cafe industry, some Internet cafes have become a major public hazard to young people. Driven by profits, some businesses provide convenience in food and accommodation in order to retain customers for a long time, causing some teenagers to stay up all night in front of the computer, seriously affecting their work, study and life. What's more serious is that some Internet cafe operators even openly provide customers with computer games containing gambling, pornography, reactionary and other contents, which has a devastating impact on the physical and mental health of young people. The laissez-faire and even connivance of Internet cafes to teenagers who use the Internet will inevitably make them eventually become addicted to the Internet.

---School factors. At present, many universities across the country have established campus networks, and some have also laid out broadband networks, providing convenience for college students to access the Internet. Internet surfing has become an important part of college students' extracurricular life. But the problem that comes with it is that about 5%-10% of college students suffer from Internet addiction. Foreign surveys have also confirmed that colleges and universities are becoming the main breeding ground for Internet addiction. how so? I think that being free from the constraints of parents for the first time, having a large amount of free time, and escaping the pressure of studying and socializing is one of the aspects, but more importantly, the school lacks effective guidance and management of college students' online behavior. Even if some teachers see some students devoting themselves to and being obsessed with online chatting and interactive games, they do not stop them, which eventually leads to some students falling into Internet addiction.

---Family factors.

According to the China Youth Daily, a recent sample survey of about 4,000 students in six urban districts in Beijing showed that more than 80% of the students surveyed had computers at home, but 47% of parents don’t know how to use it. Since many parents know nothing or little about the Internet, they mistakenly believe that whatever their children do online is better than wasting time watching TV. Therefore, parents do not interfere with their children's Internet use, do not limit their Internet time, and do not consult their children on what they do online. They even happily said to their relatives and friends: "My children know more about the Internet than I do." However, they did not know that a disease similar to drug addiction was unknowingly and silently attacking their children. of physical and mental health. Once a problem is discovered, parents often go to the other extreme - shutting out the Internet. They naively think that this can protect their children once and for all from the temptation and threats of the Internet.

We can make some efforts from four aspects: teenagers themselves, Internet cafes, schools and families. Specifically:

---From the perspective of teenagers themselves. ① Do not use the Internet as a tool to escape real life problems or negative emotions. Although surfing the Internet can temporarily forget your worries and give you happiness, problems will still exist after you go offline. The only way out is to actively face and solve problems. ② Internet access must be purposeful and timely, and avoid blindness and randomness. Before going online, you should list the tasks you want to complete and the approximate time it will take on a piece of paper, and use an alarm clock or other timer to remind you of your online time. ③Don’t use the Internet as your only extracurricular entertainment activity, but enrich your extracurricular life. For example, participating in various societies, clubs, interest groups in school, traveling, chatting with friends, walking, exercising, etc. ④ Improve your self-control and stay away from computer games that contain gambling, pornography, reactionary, violent and other content. Obtaining information and materials through the Internet to help people work and study is the foundation of modern Internet consumption.

---As far as Internet cafes are concerned. In addition to resolutely cracking down on and banning illegal operations, the management department should also actively guide and standardize the development of the Internet cafe industry. After all, Internet cafes are an important tool and form that provide Internet users with Internet application skills and popularize the Internet. In the long run, they should be actively developed. We can take some measures, such as increasing legislation and law enforcement; relevant departments should join forces to conduct regular sampling inspections and surprise inspections of Internet cafes; establish Internet cafe associations within the industry to supervise each other and uniformly standardize operations; regulate Internet cafe operations Those who need to carry out professional ethics and law-abiding business education, etc.

---For schools. First of all, students should be properly educated and guided about the Internet, tell them the advantages of the Internet, and also let them know the potential threats of the Internet; tell them what they can and cannot do online, and other precautions. Secondly, schools should strengthen management of student computer rooms and electronic reading rooms. For example, appropriate personnel should be allocated to guide and supervise students' Internet use; some restrictions should be set in the browser of each machine to keep students away from the influence of games, pornography and violence; and overnight openings should be prohibited. Thirdly, it is necessary to cultivate students' willpower and "success education" so that everyone can have a successful experience in life. This will naturally reduce young people's attachment to the virtual world. Finally, schools should pay close attention to those students who are obsessed with games and chatting, and give full play to the role of school psychological guidance and consultation to help them get rid of their dependence on the Internet.

---From a family perspective. It is incorrect for parents to take either a laissez-faire or complete prohibition on their children's online behavior. The wise approach is to support your children but not condone them, that is, to interfere, supervise, advise and limit your children's online activities. If possible, it is best for parents to surf the Internet with their children. Not only can they share the fun of surfing the Internet with their children, but more importantly, they can effectively supervise their children's online activities. Of course, if parents do not have time to surf the Internet with their children, they can let their children record the time they spend online each time and the content of the activities they participate in. But no matter what, you must check the records in time to understand the situation. In addition, in order to reduce the time children spend online, parents should encourage their children to participate in other activities. It is best to help children find a healthy alternative activity so that they can get the same feeling as when they are online.

The problem of adolescent Internet addiction is a new problem that has emerged with the development of technology and society in recent years. It is also another new trap in the growth process of adolescents. How to avoid the pitfalls and make the Internet truly a powerful assistant for young people in their study, work, and life is still a question that needs to be deepened in both theory and practice.
