Abstract

Psychology, Social Science
Internet usage, Internet addiction, Depressive tendency, Young adults, Gender difference
These days internet and virtual mode of communication have emerged as an integral part of human life in every aspect- social, professional or personal. Though advent of internet has been marked as the greatest boon to human society; nevertheless, the cons that came along with it cannot be ignored as well. In this regard, the association between internet overuse, social withdrawal, virtual sensation seeking and rising depressive tendencies among present youth have become a matter of relevant concern for mental health professionals. Earlier research evidences suggest existence of a close link between internet usage pattern and tendency to experience depression in people. Observations noted that individuals with depressive tendency tend to find momentary solace in virtual world, in turn developing an unhealthy way of coping. It is a well noted fact that males and females generally differ in their emotional expression, due to their acquired social roles during developing years. But whether they differ in their depressive tendency and engage in internet/ virtual activities as a way to deal life problems, remain an intriguing and somewhat ambiguous question. Therefore, present study purported to find answer to this intriguing ambiguity by examining gender difference in internet usage and depressive tendency among young adults. Further, the study re-explored the connection between internet overuse and depressive tendency in relation to young adult males and females. The association was confirmed and gender difference emerged as a significant factor in this study.
