Abstract

The
dizzying speed of the change in technology affects the human life in the same
movement. Studies which investigate these effects and the increase in that rate
become slow and insufficient against the speed of the technology. Although it
is not yet considered as an addiction in DSM, it is widely accepted by field
researchers that excessive and uncontrolled use of information technologies can
cause addiction on individuals. The current study which was conducted by the
compilation method includes determining the subtypes of screen addiction as a
very up to date and controversial topic, revealing and classifying the
underlying reasons of these subtypes and screen addiction in general with the
method of compilation. For this purpose, 84 studies which were conducted in
Turkey and abroad were examined. As a result of the examination, screen
addiction was thought to be divided into subtypes such as internet addiction
(gambling, shopping, sexuality, general), media addiction (traditional media,
social media), digital game addiction (online, offline, single-player, multiplayer,
depending on the type), addiction of technological tools (computers,
smartphones, television, tablet, VR and so on.). Consequently, dynamics which
are common in these subtypes and cause addiction alone or in combination are
digital interaction, virtual environment and screen that transport all these
dynamics.
