Social networking addiction: an overview of preliminary findings (2014, methodology): “Based on Davis’s (2001) model of IAD, the Online Cognitions Scale (OCS) was devised and shown to provide an accurate estimate of Internet addiction ( Davis et al., 2002).”
The Compulsive Internet Use Scale (CIUS): Some Psychometric Properties (2009, neutral): “Furthermore, the concurrent validity of the CIUS was examined with help of an instrument to measure pathological Internet use OCS 14 and other measures (concurrent and construct validity).”

Distinguishing addiction and high engagement in the context of online game playing (2007, result): “To put the present research into context, it is useful to note that it differs from that of authors such as Caplan (2002), Davis et al. (2002), Morahan-Martin and Schumacher (2000), Pratarelli et al. (1999), and Pratarelli and Browne (2002).”
Internet Gaming Disorder (2018, neutral): “Davis, Flett, and Besser [32] mention social rejection as a drive for PIU, which leads to utilizing the Internet for escaping from the stressors of daily life.”
Factor structure for Young's Internet Addiction Test: A confirmatory study (2008, methodology): “Referring to the instruments that measure Internet addiction as a multi-faceted construct – OCS (Davis et al., 2002); GPIUS (Caplan, 2002); IAST (Lin & Tsai, 2002); PIUQ (Thatcher & Goolam, 2005b); PIUS (Ceyhan et al., 2007), the following dimensions are found similar across these…”
Preference for Online Social Interaction (2003, neutral): “PIU includes a host of maladaptive cognitions and behaviors associated with Internet use (i.e., PIU), including excessive or compulsive use resulting in negative personal and professional outcomes (Anderson, 2003; Caplan, 2002; Davis, 2001; Davis et al., 2002).”
Internet Addiction: Metasynthesis of 1996–2006 Quantitative Research (2009, neutral): “Thus we propose Challenge 2 to researchers: Previous studies on Internet addiction have used inconsistent criteria, making any comparison across study findings meaningless.”
The Role of Sexual Compulsivity, Impulsivity, and Experiential Avoidance in Internet Pornography Use (2012, background): “Consistent with previous research (Davis et al., 2002), impulsivity did appear to have a significant role in the amount of IP use in general.”
