Computer and Internet Use Among Children and Adolescents in Greece: Levels of Addiction
The levels of addiction in our study according to the parents' reports were limited and only a small number of parents reported highly addictive behaviors. However, there is a direct correlation between increased parental internet use that can significantly increase children's addiction levels. Parents act as role models that may increase children's exposure to the internet and lead to addiction.
