A German study published in PLOS One found that spending excessive time online, particularly engaging in activities like gaming, pornography use, social network use, or online shopping, is associated with higher stress levels, worse mood, and greater neglect of other daily activities. The study surveyed 900 adults in 2025 who reported engaging in these online behaviors at least once in the last year. The research suggests a vicious cycle where longer online time leads to worse mood, which in turn drives more internet use.
