Computer Addiction Assessment Test - Symptoms and Signs
This measure is designed to screen for problematic patterns of computer use that may be associated with functional impairment or distress. The Computer Addiction Assessment provides a structured way to quantify concerns related to excessive use and diminished control over time spent on computer-based activities.
The instrument includes 48 items and typically requires about 9 minutes to complete. Items focus on behavioral and psychosocial indicators commonly linked to problematic technology use, such as preoccupation, loss of control, interference with social or occupational functioning, and continued use despite negative consequences.
Interpretation should consider developmental context, normative demands for computer use (e.g., school or work requirements), and co-occurring symptoms that may influence responding. The Computer Addiction Assessment was developed by Kimberly S. Young and is best used as part of a broader clinical evaluation rather than as a standalone diagnostic tool.
