The aim of present study was to find out gender differences between adolescent girls and boys and their use of Internet (high and low) on personality. All 400 participants of the age group between 16 to 19 years participated in this study, who belonged to Arts, Commerce, and Science colleges from Pune city. They were administered Internet Addiction Test (lAT) by Young(1998) and NEO-Five Factor Inventory (NEO-FFl) by McCrae and Costa (1992). The Mean and SD for girls and boys on internet addiction and sub dimensions of Neo- FFl were calculated. On the basis of Median split- high scorers and low scorers on lAT test were identified. Personality differences on these groups (Boy s vs. Girls&high vs. low scorer on lAT) were studied by calculating Means and SD on personality sub dimensions. The F test was applied to study gender differences on personality dimensions and also to study personality differences between high and low internet addicted adolescents. Results revealed that adolescent girls scored significantly higher on neuroticism, openness to experience and lower on conscientiousness. High internet addicted adolescents scored significantly higher on neuroticism and extraversion and lower on openness to experience and agreeableness than low internet addicted adolescents.Keywords

The following study was conducted to assess the difference between the levels of stress, anxiety and depression in siblings coming from a two-child family. The sample consisted of 100 first-born and 100 second-born young adults whose age ranged from 18 to 30 years. The short form of Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21) was used to collect the data. It was hypothesized that first-borns would score higher on the three dimensions as compared to the second-born individuals. The results did not support the hypotheses. The mean score of stress was found to be 16.98 for first-borns and 16.14 for second-borns. The mean score for depression was 12.70 in first-borns and 14.92 in second-borns. Lastly, the mean score for anxiety was found to be 13.54 in first-borns and 14.52 in second-borns. Hence, anxiety and depression were greater in second-borns than first-borns while stress was close to equal, leaning slightly more towards the first-borns. None of the differences were found to be significant.Keywords

According to a recent survey, about 6% of people worldwide have an Internet addiction. Internet addiction is a problem that can swiftly impair a person’s capacity to carry out daily tasks when they feel they are unable to do so because they are unable to unplug from the Internet. Numerous issues related to this kind of Internet use have an effect on the person’s quality of life and psychological health. The main objective of the study was to assess the correlation between Internet Addiction and Emotional Maturity among Young Adults. A correlational study was conducted on individuals belonging to the age group of 20-35 (young adults). A total of 100 individuals participated in the study using a structured questionnaire. The method used for collecting samples is an accidental sampling method. Tools used include “Internet Addiction Test (IAT)” developed by Young (1998) and “Emotional Maturity Scale [E.M.S]” designed by Singh and Bhargava. The coefficient correlation suggests a positive relationship between Internet Addiction and Emotional Maturity. The regression analysis concluded that Internet Addiction has a significant effect on the Emotional Maturity of young adults. The study as a whole is consistent with the observation that those who use the internet more frequently are more likely to have less emotional maturity. It also shows how internet addiction affects an individual’s degree of emotional maturation.Keywords
