Longitudinal associations between anhedonia and internet-related addictive behaviors in emerging adults

作者：

Highlights：

• Prior work related internet addiction (IA) to depression, but not to its facets.

• We studied if one facet, anhedonia, prospectively relates to IA in emerging adults.

• Trait anhedonia predicted IA as indexed by two different measures.

• Trait anhedonia also predicted addiction to online/offline video games.

• Interventions that target anhedonia in emerging adulthood may help with IA.
