WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Internet Addiction Test (IAT)

cyberpsychology computer addiction

This self-report measure is used to screen for problematic patterns of internet use that may be associated with distress or functional impairment. The Internet Addiction Test (IAT) asks respondents to rate common experiences related to preoccupation, loss of control, and interference with daily responsibilities and relationships.

The instrument includes 20 items and typically takes about 4 minutes to complete. Results are generally interpreted as an indicator of severity that can guide clinical interviewing and inform decisions about whether further assessment is warranted. The Internet Addiction Test (IAT) was originally developed by Kimberly S. Young.
