Útdráttur: 
  • Netnotkun hefur aukist mikið síðasta áratuginn og er orðin stór hluti af daglegu lífi
    margra, einnig ungmenna. Tækniþróun hefur leitt til þess að aðgengi að Netinu er
    ekki lengur bundið við heimatölvu og símalínu heldur er hægt að komast á Netið
    næstum hvar sem er og hvenær sem er. Í þessari grein er skýrt frá niðurstöðum
    rannsóknar á netnotkun ungmenna í 9. og 10. bekk grunnskóla á Íslandi og hvort
    foreldrar setji ungmennunum einhverjar reglur eða mörk varðandi hana. Byggt er á
    gögnum sem safnað var í rannsóknarverkefni um netávana (netfíkn) meðal ungmenna
    í Evrópu (EU NET ADB). Markmið rannsóknarverkefnisins var að meta
    algengi og áhrifaþætti netávana meðal evrópskra ungmenna. Blönduðum rannsóknaraðferðum
    var beitt við gagnaöflun, spurningalistakönnun og hálfstöðluðum
    viðtölum við ungmenni sem mældust með netávana. Meginniðurstöður eru þær að
    allir þátttakendur í 9. og 10. bekk grunnskóla nota Netið og tvö af hverjum þremur
    gera það daglega eða nánast daglega. Strákar verja meiri tíma á Netinu en stelpur
    eða að meðaltali um tvær og hálfa klukkustund á dag á móti tveimur klukkustundum
    hjá stelpum. Um 1% þátttakenda í rannsókninni höfðu einkenni netávana og um
    7% til viðbótar töldust vera í áhættuhópi vegna netávana. Nærri 60% foreldra settu
    ungmennunum sjaldan eða aldrei mörk hversu lengi þau máttu vera á Netinu. Ungmenni
    sem rætt var við í eigindlegum hluta rannsóknarinnar töldu sig almennt hafa
    stjórn á netnotkun sinni en mörg hver voru þó jafnframt á þeirri skoðun að netnotkun
    þeirra væri orðin meiri en eðlilegt gæti talist. Tengja mátti leiða, einmanaleika
    og flótta frá raunveruleikanum við netnotkun ungmennanna sem rætt var við
    í eigindlegum hluta rannsóknarinnar.

  • During the last decades internet use has increased significantly and constitutes
    the norm in daily life for most people, especially for adolescents. Recent
    technical advances have shifted the ability to access the internet from using a desktop computer to being able to access the internet anywhere and anytime
    by a wireless connection. Adolescence is a period involving substantial
    physical, cognitive and socio-emotional growth. During this period, the
    adolescent’s self-image strengthens and inner and outer boundaries are
    explored, they expand their social networks and spend more time and
    experience greater intimacy with friends while interactions with their families
    may be reduced. Adolescents’ everyday life is to a great extent controlled by
    what can be done online, they communicate and interact socially online, read
    blogs, browse the internet for knowledge and information, download music and
    movies. Some find online communication more comfortable than face-to-face
    interaction, in particular when sharing information pertaining to them. The
    internet also allows adolescents to connect to friends and relatives living far
    away. Although most adolescents regard the internet as a necessity in their
    everyday life, it may also present harm including exposure to sexually explicit
    content, violence or cyber bullying. Internet use can also become excessive
    and addictive. A sign of internet addiction has been described as similar to
    those of addictive gambling. Symptoms include feelings of conflicts of whether
    spending time online or seeing friends, or attending a sports practice and users
    gradually withdraw from social interactions outside of the internet. Other signs
    involve obsessive thoughts about being Online, irritation when online sessions
    are being interrupted or not possible and some individuals try to conceal the
    full extent of their internet use.
    This paper explores online habits and parental restrictions on internet use
    among 15–16 years old adolescents in Iceland. The paper builds on data from
    the EU-NET Addiction Behaviour project (EUNET-ADB). The aim of the
    EUNET-ADB was to measure prevalence and risk factors for internet addictive
    behaviours among adolescents in Europe. Data in the EUNET-ADB project
    was collected by a mix method approach, using a questionnaire and semistructured
    individual interviews with adolescent scoring 30 points or more on
    the Internet Addiction Test (IAT) instrument. In this paper we examine how
    much time adolescents spend online on weekdays and weekends. We also
    assessed adolescent´s view on their parents´ restrictive measures with respect
    to their children´s internet use. The results indicate that most adolescents in
    Iceland use the internet and 2 out of 3 use the internet during most days. Boys
    stay online to a greater extent than girls, on average two and a half hour per
    day compared to 2 hours per day among girls. About 1 of 3 respondents reported
    having used the internet excessively so that other activities had been
    neglected. Many participants said to have tried to reduce time spent online.
    Parental mediation of internet use was limited. Freedom of visiting any website
    of their choice was reported by 67% of respondents. Similarly, almost 60% of
    adolescents reported that parents never or rarely set any restrictions on how
    long they were allowed to be online.
    All of the adolescents that participated in the in-depth interviews were avid
    internet users and most of them also engaged in social networking, in
    particular by Facebook. Being active on Facebook was vividly described by
    participants as necessary to keep up with what was happening. Although data
    based the quantitative study indicated that parental mediation of internet use
    was limited, most participants in the in-depth interviews described various
    strategies parents had implemented to limit time spent online or access to
    certain websites, such as computer-free days, password protected access or
    so called “net-nannies”. The participants in the in-depth interviews generally
    regarded themselves as being in control of their internet use, although many
    disclosed that their online time was more than they considered “normal”.
    Boredom, loneliness or escaping from reality was often related with a heavy
    internet use in adolescent’s narrations.
