Abstract

The youth of today live in the midst of a technological revolution, particularly in the field of communications (chat rooms, mobile telephones, Messenger, etc.). In many parts of Spain, the Internet has overtaken television, not only as a source of leisure and recreation among teenagers, but also as a force for socialization. Adolescents suffering from Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) have specific characteristics which may make them more vulnerable when using new technologies.

Consequently, it is important to research the way in which these teenagers use the Internet. This study aimed to identify, through the administration of the CH-TV 0.2 Television Viewing Habits Questionnaire, the possible differences which may occur between teenagers with ADHD and the normal adolescent population, as regards Internet use, purpose of this use and parental mediation. The results indicate differences in Internet use profiles between adolescents with ADHD and the normal adolescent population. Contrary to our hypothesis, the former use the Internet less than the latter. Furthermore, despite the fact that the principal aim in using the Internet was communication for both sample groups, significant differences were detected. In relation to parental mediation, teenagers with ADHD reported a higher degree of instructive and restrictive mediation by parents.
