三、閱讀測驗【請依照段落上下文意，選出最適當的答案】Do you play video games on the Internet in excess? Are you compulsively shopping online? Can’t physicallystop checking Facebook? Is your excessive computer use interfering with your daily life—relationships, work,school? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be suffering from Internet Addiction Disorder, alsocommonly referred to as Compulsive Internet Use (CIU), Problematic Internet Use (PIU), or iDisorder. Originallydebated as a “real thing,” it was satirically theorized as a disorder in 1995 by Dr. Ivan Goldberg, who compared itsoriginal model to pathological gambling. Since then, the disorder has rapidly gained ground and has been givenserious attention from many researchers, mental health counselors, and doctors as a truly debilitating disorder.Like most disorders, it’s not likely to pinpoint an exact cause of Internet Addiction Disorder. This disorder ischaracteristic of having multiple contributing factors. Some evidence suggests that if you are suffering from InternetAddiction Disorder, your brain makeup is similar to those that suffer from a chemical dependency, such as drugs oralcohol. Interestingly, some studies link Internet Addiction Disorder to physically changing the brainstructure—specifically affecting the amount of gray and white matter in regions of the prefrontal brain. This area ofthe brain is associated with remembering details, attention, planning, and prioritizing tasks.Biological predispositions to Internet Addiction Disorder may also be a contributing factor to the disorder. Ifyou suffer from this disorder, your levels of dopamine and serotonin may be deficient compared to the generalpopulation. This chemical deficiency may require you to engage in more behaviors to receive the same pleasurableresponse compared to individuals not suffering from addictive Internet behaviors.Predispositions of Internet addiction are also related to anxiety and depression. Oftentimes, if you are alreadysuffering from anxiety or depression, you may turn to the Internet to relieve your suffering from these conditions.Similarly, shy individuals and those with social awkwardness might also be at a higher risk of suffering fromInternet addiction. If you suffer from anxiety and depression, you might turn to the Internet to fill a void. If you areshy or socially awkward, you may turn to the Internet because it does not require interpersonal interaction and it isemotionally rewarding.
