Abstract The aim of this systematic literature review is to map the longitudinal research in the field of Internet Use (IU) and Problematic Internet Use (PIU) in adolescents and emergent adults. Further, this study endeavours to examine the terminology and instruments utilized in longitudinal IU and PIU research and investigate whether statistically significant results have arisen from the areas of research focus. In a total of 29 studies, trends in the research of adolescent/emergent adult IU and PIU were discovered. These trends were conceptualized into individual, contextual and activity-related factors. Findings suggested that individual factors are the most researched and have demonstrated significant relationships with adolescent/young adult PIU. However, more research on contextual and activity-related factors is needed in order to achieve a clearer understanding of young people’s IU and PIU behaviours, and to incorporate into a comprehensive model that will guide future research in this growing field.

- Negative consequences from heavy social networking in adolescents: The mediating role of fear of missing out. (2017, background): “…investigate these factors in the general population or in young adults, and few studies analyze these mechanisms in individuals below college age (see, Anderson et al., 2016, for a review), despite the fact that they are considered to be themost vulnerable group (Kuss, Griffiths,& Binder, 2013).”
