Compulsive Internet use and workaholism: An exploratory two-wave longitudinal study

作者：

Highlights：

• A total of 244 of British adults completed questionnaires at 2 waves over 6 months.

• Compulsive Internet use predicted working compulsively at Time 2 but not vice-versa.

• Hours of use and compulsive Internet use were reciprocally related.

• Working excessively was unrelated to compulsive Internet use.

• A masking mechanism may explain the association between CIU and working compulsively.
