Computer Addiction Test for Primary School Children

cyberpsychologycomputer addiction

This brief screening measure is designed to evaluate patterns of computer use and related behavioral concerns in primary school–age children. The Computer Addiction Test for Primary School Children uses a short self-report format to identify possible risk for excessive or poorly controlled engagement with computer activities.

The instrument includes 8 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete. Items focus on common indicators of problematic use (e.g., difficulty limiting time, interference with other responsibilities, preoccupation, or distress when access is restricted). Results are intended to support clinical judgment and to guide decisions about whether follow-up assessment, family consultation, or behavioral supports may be indicated.

The Computer Addiction Test for Primary School Children is attributed to Kimberly S. Young.
