Association between the subclinical level of problematic internet use and habenula volume: a look at mediation effect of neuroticism
This study uncovered a crucial link between reduced Hb volume and heightened PIU. Our findings highlight neuroticism as a key risk factor for developing PIU. Moreover, neuroticism was shown to mediate the relationship between Hb volume and PIU tendency, offering valuable insight into the complexities of this interaction.
