The author proposes using Kimberley Young's method, and recalculates this psychological scale. The Internet-addiction risk group consists of young males, mostly in the age span from 16 to 20 years. More than 80% of the respondents access the Internet every day, which is associated with the proliferation of various kinds of gadgets. Young people are aware that the growth of Internet addiction is a problem, which indicates their readiness to jointly counteract against such a threat.
