The Time Memory Traits Of College Students With Network Addiction Under Being Online

Network addiction refers to an infatuated state resulting from repeatedly going online and thus the physical and mental dependence to the Network because of being incapable of resisting going online once more and spending more time on it. As a special group in the Network times, people with Network addiction are mostly concerned. Some researches suggested that during being online, the time sense, space sense, reality perception and self-perception of those with Network addiction would change. Thus, it is necessary to investigate the psychological traits of those with Network addiction under being online. However, by far, there has not been any experimental report about the time memory traits of people with Network addiction under being online. With the popularity of Internet, people with Network addiction will come more and more, and especially college students account for a great proportion among those with Network addiction, so it is necessary to carry out a research about it. This study designed two experiments to investigate the memory traits of time space and time series on some college students with Network addiction. The results are as follows:1. For the time space estimating about both the shorter time space (15s, 26s, 40s) and the longer time space (5min, 8min, 12min), the Network addiction effect is obvious. On the three levels of the target time variable, the error of time space estimating of the Network-addiction group is obviously greater that that of the non-Network-addiction group, and the Network-addiction group's time space estimating is lower that the real time space. On the three levels of the delayed time variable, the errorof time space estimating of the Network-addiction group is obviously greater that that of the non-Network-addiction group.2. For the time space estimating about both the shorter time space (15s, 26s, 40s) and the longer time space (5min, 8min, 12min), the Network addiction effect affects the confidence of the time space estimating, the confidence of time space estimating of the Network-addiction group is obviously lower that that of the non-Network-addiction group.3. For the time space estimating about both the shorter time space (15s, 26s, 40s) and the longer time space (5min, 8min, 12min), the Network addiction effect affects the relation between the confidence and the error of the time space estimating, the confidence negatively correlates with the error, and the non-Network-addiction group's is obviously lower.4. The Network addiction effect affects the time series processing. The time series judging consciousness about the shorter time space (15s, 26s, 40s) is definite, but the time series judging consciousness about the longer time space (5min, 8min, 12min) is in disorder.5. The Network addiction effect affects the relation between the error of time space estimating and time series judging. The error of time space estimating and time series judging positively and obviously correlates among the Network-addiction group; the error of time space estimating and time series judging positively correlates among the non-Network-addiction group, and the correlate degree decreases.6. The result supports the integrated model of time subsection.
