Product Description

Youth around the world are fittingly described as digital natives because of their comfort and skill with technological hardware and content. Recent studies indicate that an overwhelming majority of children and teenagers use the Internet, cell phones, and other mobile devices. Equipped with familiarity and unprecedented access, it is no wonder that adolescents consume, create, and share copious amounts of content. But is there a cost?

Digital Youth: The Role of Media in Development recognizes the important role of digital tools in the lives of teenagers and presents both the risks and benefits of these new interactive technologies. From social networking to instant messaging to text messaging, the authors create an informative and relevant guidebook that goes beyond description to include developmental theory and implications. Also woven throughout the book is an international sensitivity and understanding that clarifies how, despite the widespread popularity of digital communication, technology use varies between groups globally.

Other specific topics addressed include:

• Sexuality on the Internet.
• Online identity and self-presentation.
• Morality, ethics, and civic engagement.
• Technology and health.
• Violence, cyberbullying, and victimization.
• Excessive Internet use and addictive behavior.

This comprehensive volume is a must-have reference for researchers, clinicians, and graduate students across such disciplines as developmental/clinical child/school psychology, social psychology, media psychology, medical and allied health professions, education, and social work.

Description:
eBay hosts more than 12.5 million auctions per day in more than 1000 categories across 28 global markets and attracts more than 43 million unique visitors per month. This paper explores online auction users problematic behaviors that could potentially lead to an addiction. Specifically, we examine the following research questions: what consumer behaviors could be construed as problematic and potentially addictive; do these behaviors generally reflect the core components of addiction; and what are the implications for online auction retailers, managers, and society? Using qualitative methods, the authors identify four key themes that capture problematic behaviors that could lead to online auction addiction. These themes include psychological distress; habitual usage; negative consequences; and dependence, withdrawal and self-regulation. ... Read more

What every man needs to KNOW
Hi All,

This is THE BOOK that I would strongly recommend anyone to read.
It provides eyeopening PROOF of perhaps one of the greatest threats we are faced with in this modern day and age.
Porn is not fun, cool, ok or hot...it is a KILLER and it kills in the most subtle and destructive way...
...hope that many eyes will be opened and many people be set free through this book.

Let no one treat you like an idiot!!!

Hurry, Hurry,Hurry Get your schlock right here!

What a bunch of garbage!The 3 power principles are included in a cd at the end of the book.He reminds me of old women picketing the adult book store in the neighborhood.I am astonished at the poor research skills exhibited in the footnotes.They reveal the research skills of a high school student.

His is a family centered approach, focused on protecting the family and children.Religious orientation and some really basic information.If you know nothing about the topic it might be useful but I feel his tone is that of a circus barker.

A New Look
I have read many books on addiction to porn, and this book contains a lot of fresh information not found anywhere else. I recommend it for those struggling and spouses of those struggling.

Enjoyed it thorougly
Kastleman explains how pornography distorts both the male and female views of sexuality God had intended. He likens it to illegal drug. Not only that, he exhorts readers to nurture the true intimacy between husband and wife and between parents and their kids. Because true intimacy is the best possible blockade against the snare of pornography. Powerful and easy to read resource.

A helpful resource for couples
This will be most helpful to women who have a spouse who has a problem with porn, but will also help them to better understand other types of sex addiction.They will be able to better understand what a guy is experiencing and why he can be so vulnerable to sexual images.

It explains the differences between the average woman's experience during sexual arousal and the average man's.I found this section especially interesting and helpful.It also explains why women are more vulnerable to adult chat than porn.

This information will also be very valuable to guys.They will be reminded how to help their wife get into the mood!

Finally you might have a better chance of getting your guy to listen to the included audio CD. It is a nice addition to the book.

Ladies, buy the book before going to your lawyer.It may save you big $! ... Read more

Product Description
This book has been created for patients who have decided to make education and research an integral part of the treatment process. Although it also gives information useful to doctors, caregivers and other health professionals, it tells patients where and how to look for information covering virtually all topics related to prescription stimulants dependence (also dextroamphetamine; dextroamphetamine abuse; dextroamphetamine addiction; dextroamphetamine dependence; methylphenidate; methylphenidate abuse), from the essentials to the most advanced areas of research.

I have not finished this book yet but was compelled....
This is an impressive, comprehensive and MUCH needed book.I have not finished the entire book but felt compelled to comment just in case parents, teens or others were looking for help in the area of computer/Internet addiction. My family has been struggling with this issue for years with our two sons.This book and the "Habit Change Workbook" have become our "at home" rehab program.

If anyone is dealing with this issue - run don't walk and buy this book. I am optimistic that you will be comforted by the information and a plan to deal with coming to grips with this addiction.Will write more later when I finish the book....

Eyes Online, Eyes on Life
In Eyes Online: Eyes on Life, author Jan Kern shares the story of Colin, a young man battling his internet addiction. Through Colin's point of view, Ms. Kern identifies the steps that led to his eventual addiction.

But Ms. Kern's book doesn't take the stance that the Internet is unhealthy, nor does the book feel like an attack against all online activities. Rather, she urges young people to pursue a godly, balanced life. Ms. Kern acknowledges that living a balanced life is not easy for teens today and in doing so also provides real advice about how to pursue a balanced lifestyle.

Ms. Kern's writing style is direct and easy to understand. Her questions are often thought-provoking, the kind that make you shut the book and really think about how you're living and what it means in light of eternity.

This book is not a light Christian read. In fact, it often feels like a mirror, forcing the reader to examine his heart and life.

Careaga
This book's value is in the fairly thorough review of the literature on the condition popularly called "internet addiction".As a clinician who treats people with this condition, and one who adheres to religious convictions similar to those of Mr. Careaga, I would caution people generally to take Mr. Careaga's views discretely.Clearly there is a spiritual component to this condition, but not for all people.His review adds a good summary to the growing literature on this condition. ...
