網路已成為現代生活不可或缺的一項重要媒介工具,過度或不當的使用極可能衍伸出網路成癮的相關問題。網路成癮對於大學生學業成績造成何種程度之影響關係?以大一新生之學習表現(入學指考成績與第一學期成績之Z分數)為指標,運用陳淑惠(2003)網路成癮量表作為理論依據,並加入網路使用情形等變項,共施測393名大一新生(男生171人,女生222人),藉由變異數、相關及迴歸分析探討兩者之間的關聯。 本研究發現大一新生入學後第一學期成績與入學指考成績差距,顯著受到性別及網路遊戲類使用時間的影響,大一男生進行網路遊戲類活動使用時間越長則學業成績越差。網路成癮分量表之「時間管理」與大一新生入學指考成績、第一學期成績具有顯著的負相關,表示上網時間花費越多,成績退步越大。
The Internet is a essential medium in contemporary life. Excessive or improper usage of the Internet could contribute to many problems, for example Internet Addiction Disorder. This research is to investigate the correlation between Internet addiction level and academic achievements of college students. The performance index of freshmen is based on the Entrance Exam and the Z-score in the first semester. In the research, the Internet Addiction Scale by Chen(2003) is adopted, considering the users’ habits in the Internet as variables. 393 freshmen ( Male 171, Female 222) are tested through examining the variance, correlation and regression analysis. The research finds that the sufficient gap between scores of Entrance Exam and grades of the first semester exists. Gender and time of on-line game result in this gap. In the research, there are findings that the more time male freshmen spend on on-line game, the worse grades they will receive. Sufficiently passive correlation exists between the time management in Internet Addiction Scale and the score of Entrance Exam and grades of the first semester. Therefore, the conclusion shows the more time students spend on the Internet, the worse academic performance will appear.
