Abstract

Background: Resent studies suggests that social networks are more difficult to resist than cigarettes or alcohol. Social networking addiction (SNA) usually refers to compulsive behavior that leads to negative effects, but main reasons making the person addicted are still not clear for today. That is why we were interested, how do the studying conditions of students affect on their SNA. Material and Methods: We examined and interviewed 300 students: group 1- medical students (n=100), group 2-economical students (n=100), group 3-philosophy students (n=100). To reveal SNA we used Internet Addiction test and self created questionnaire. Results and Discussion: 70% of responders from group 1 have demonstrated low level of SNA, 22%-medium level and only 8% were highly addicted (p<0.05). In group 2 low addiction was revealed in 45%, medium-in 40%, high-in 15% of responders (p<0.05). Group 3 have shown the low addiction in 35%, medium-in 43%, highin 22% of responders (p<0.05). Analysis of variations detected a strong direct correlation between the level of SNA and the type of students professional direction. Conclusion: The lowest level of SNA was registered in medical students. This fact could be explained with high studying load in medical university. Besides, medical profession is social oriented,and students are getting nice communicative skills during their studding. The highest level of SNA was among philosophy students, what could be explained with a large amount of free time and small fraction of social interactions in their profession
