WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Online Behavior Questionnaire Test

Internet Behavior Questionnaire Test

This measure is used to characterize patterns of online activity and related motivations and impacts. The Internet Behavior Questionnaire is intended as a brief self-report screen to help identify potentially problematic internet use and inform follow-up clinical inquiry.

It contains 21 items and typically takes about 4 minutes to complete. Items ask about typical time spent online, common activities, emotional responses to internet use, and perceived control or interference with daily functioning.

Developed by Kimberly S. Young, the Internet Behavior Questionnaire may be used in clinical or preventive settings to support assessment planning, risk identification, and discussion of behavior change targets. Results are best interpreted in the context of other clinical information rather than as a stand-alone diagnosis.
