Abstract:
Empirical evidence has revealed various factors that contribute to the development and maintenance of
Internet abuse. The aim of this paper was to analyze, on a sample of Spanish adolescents, the relationship between
Internet abuse and: (1) Personal and interpersonal risk factors, including social skills in both virtual and real-life contexts; (2) Drug use. A total of 814 high school students aged between 13 and 17 participated in this study, and were divided into two groups: Internet Abusers (IA = 173) and Non-Internet Abusers (NIA = 641). Questionnaires were used to
analyze Internet and drug use/abuse, as well as social skills, in virtual and real contexts. Various interpersonal risk
factors (family and group of friends) were also assessed. IA showed a more severe pattern of Internet and drug use, as
well as poorer social skills in both contexts. Moreover, their groups of friends appeared more likely to become involved
in risky situations related to Internet and drug abuse. Both IA and NIA showed more adaptive social skills in the virtual
context than in the real one. There is a need for further research to build on these findings, with a view to designing
specific preventive programs that promote responsible Internet use.
