PSYCHOVEGETATIVE CORRELATES OF INTERNET DEPENDENT BEHAVIOR IN ADOLESCENTS ACCORDING TO THE RESULTS OF PUPILLOMETRY
Abstract
An important feature of Internet addiction (IA) is the abundance and diversity of its subjective components with minimal objective manifestations. Neuropsychological nature of IA formation, as well as methods for its objective quantitative assessment, have not been sufficiently developed.
The aim is to study the possibilities of detecting psychovegetative changes in adolescents with Internet-addicted behavior of varying severity by neuropsychological examination with pupillometry.
Material and methods. In 84 adolescents (66 girls and 18 boys) aged 16.2±0.1 years, the nature and intensity of the digital de- vices usage were studied, Internet-dependent behavior was determined, pupillometry was performed, and the indicator of interpupillary asymmetry (IIA) was analyzed.
Results and conclusions. According to the obtained data, there were no gross pupillometric changes in the examined adolescents. A moderate relationship was found between interpupillary asymmetry and Internet addiction (rxy=-0.3, p<0.05), as well as the frequency of using a smartphone (rxy=0.41, p<0.05). The most pronounced interpupillary asymmetry was observed in the group of adolescents with Internet addiction (more than 65 points according to Chen scale). The presented data confirms the adequacy and perspectiveness of the assessment of pupillary reactions for studying the neuropsychological and psychovegetative state of information technology users.
