GPIUS2, Generalized Problematic Internet Use Scale 2; ABI, Angstbewältigungs-Inventar; CAV-E, cognitive avoidance (ego threat); CAV-P, cognitive avoidance (physical threat); CAV-T, cognitive avoidance (total score); VIG-E, vigilance (ego threat); VIG-P, vigilance (physical threat); VIG-T, vigilance (total score); SNS, social network size; MD, mean difference.
GPIUS2 scores are untransformed in this table for easier interpretation. Percentages do not add up to 100% in the total sample due to rounding inaccuracies.
