Abstract
This brief report builds upon the findings of the EU Kids Online project’s work into Excessive Internet Use among the 19,834 European children (aged 11-16) participating in that study. It compares the European data with the much smaller cohort of 300 Australian children (aged 11-16) who were researched in the parallel AU Kids Online project. In both cases the children were selected according to a random sampling strategy. The full EU Kids Online report includes the research methodology and can be accessed via: http://www2.lse.ac.uk/media@lse/research/EUKidsOnline/EU%20Kids%20II%20(2009- 11)/EUKidsOnlineIIReports/D4FullFindings.pdf The full AU Kids Online report can be accessed via: http://cultural-science.org/journal/index.php/culturalscience/article/view/49/129 The EU Kids Online Excessive Internet Use report can be found at http://www2.lse.ac.uk/media@lse/research/EUKidsOnline/EU%20Kids%20Online%20report s.aspx Its authors are David Šmahel (Masaryk University, Czech Republic); Ellen Helsper (London School of Economics, UK); Lelia Green (Edith Cowan University, Australia); Veronika Kalmus (University of Tartu, Estonia); Lukas Blinka (Masaryk University, Czech Republic) and Kjartan Ólafsson (University of Akureyri, Iceland and Masaryk University, Czech Republic).
