The Internet Process Addiction Test (IPAT) was created to screen for potential
addictive behaviors that could be facilitated by the internet. The IPAT was
created with the mindset that the term "Internet addiction" is structurally
problematic, as the Internet is simply the medium that one uses to access various
addictive processes. The role of the internet in facilitating addictions,
however, cannot be minimized. A new screening tool that effectively directed
researchers and clinicians to the specific processes facilitated by the internet
would therefore be useful. This study shows that the Internet Process Addiction
Test (IPAT) demonstrates good validity and reliability. Four addictive processes
were effectively screened for with the IPAT: Online video game playing, online
social networking, online sexual activity, and web surfing. Implications for
further research and limitations of the study are discussed.
