The article "The characteristics of decision making, potential to take risks, and personality of college students with internet addiction," by Chih-Hung Ko, Sigmond Hsiao, Gin-Chung Liu, Ju-Yu Ken, Ming-Jen Yang, and Cheng-Fang Yen emphasizes that internet addiction is a dangerous mental health issue because of the many different impaired aspects of one's behavior. These aspects include social interactions and academic performance. This Psychiatry research experiment states that the number one recreational activity among college students is the internet which is free on any university campus. According to the authors, internet addiction is estimated to occur in 8-13% of college students (Ko, Hsiao, Lui, Ken, Yang, Yen, 2010). It is hard to try and stop college students from using the internet all the time because it is used for homework, social communicating, emailing, research and other things. The article states that college students with an internet addiction tend to have poor decision making skills and are more prone to taking higher risks which can lead them into horrible situations. These behavioral acts can cause these students to do poorly in their classes and can cause them to eventually drop out of school.
