Using Media for Coping: A Scoping Review (2020, background): “One of these maladaptive cognitions and an important factor for developing pathological internet use is “internet use for mood regulation,” which Caplan (2010) integrated into Davis’s model.”
The measurement of Internet addiction: A critical review of existing scales and their psychometric properties (2014, methodology): “Similarly to the GPIUS-2, the Problematic Internet Use Questionnaire (Demetrovics et al., 2008) and its short form (12 and 9 items) are easy to administer.”
What type of content are smartphone users addicted to?: SNS vs. games (2016, background): “There are various forms of media addiction, including television addiction (e.g., Horvath, 2004; Mcllwraith, 1998) and Internet addiction based on computers (e.g., Caplan, 2002, 2010; Davis, 2001) as well as smartphones (e.g., Mak et al., 2014).”
Metacognitions and emotion regulation as predictors of problematic internet use in adolescents (2017, background): “Research has shown that deficits in emotion regulation are present in alcohol problems (Fox et al. 2008), cocaine-dependence (Fox et al. 2007) and gambling (Williams et al. 2012),with evidence emerging that such deficits are also linked to PIU (Caplan 2002, 2010; Casale et al. 2016; Yu et al. 2013).”
Development of the Social Media Addiction Scale (2015, methodology): “…“Facebook Addiction Scale” (FAS) was developed by Young and adapted to Turkish by Çam & İşbulan (2012) and “Generalized Problematic Internet Use Scale 2” (GPIUS2) whose original form belongs to Caplan (2010 and Turkish adaptation study was conducted by Tutgun, Deniz and Moon (2011) were used.”
The Social Media Disorder Scale (2016, neutral): “The concept Internet addiction, also referred to as compulsive (Meerkerk, Van den Eijnden, Vermulst, & Garretsen, 2009) or problematic Internet use (Caplan, 2010), is multi-dimensional by nature and can refer to different forms of compulsive online behaviors.”
Personality, motives and metacognitions as predictors of problematic Facebook Use in university students (2016, methodology): “Third, assuming that PFU is a form of deficient self-regulatory strategy (Caplan, 2010), metacognitions could influence such maladaptive behaviour, by predisposing people to develop maladaptive coping strategies to thoughts and internal events, which may lead to Facebook use as a means of…”
The uses and abuses of Facebook: A review of Facebook addiction (2014, background): “In support of this claim, Caplan (2010) argues that preference for online communication is the key factor associated with the development of problematic use of online forms of communication.”
Clinical psychology of Internet addiction: a review of its conceptualization, prevalence, neuronal processes, and implications for treatment (2015, neutral): “36 Despite the efforts to operationalize the cognitive-behavioral theories of IA, 37–39 these theories usually lack robust standardized psychometric tools that fully capture the complexity of IA and it has mostly been considered a more generalized phenomenon.”
Depression, loneliness and Internet addiction: How important is low self-control? (2014, methodology): “Considering the associations between psychological problems (depression and loneliness) and low self-control (Caplan, 2010; Gámez-Guadix et al., 2012), as well as the link between low selfcontrol and Internet addiction (Montag et al., 2010), we suggest that it is possible that low self-control…”
