Sažetak
Internet addiction and pathological gambling are nowadays becoming
an increasing public health problem. It hasn’t still been totally clarified
whether, when dealing with no substance addiction, we are still talking
about real addiction that includes the same pathophysiological processes at
the biological level or we are dealing with impulse control disorder, the reason
why the goal of this research has been to see whether the subjects who
spend their time investing in the stock market met the criteria for addiction
according to DSM-IV TR classification of psychiatric disorders. Research
was conducted using a modified self-made IAT questionnaire that was
available on the web portals Poslovni.hr and Moj Novac.hr. People who invest
in the stock market and trade stocks online were invited to fill out this
questionnaire. Questionnaire consisted of 13 questions: 3 about demographic
indicator of respondents, 3 about time spent in investing in the
stock market and frequency of monitoring developments in the stock market
and 7 questions were prepared according to the DSM-IV criteria that define
the existence of addiction. The questionnaire was fully completed by
111 respondents, the majority of which were men age 35–45 and highly educated.
Most respondents invested for more than one year and were daily
monitoring developments in the stock market for 1–6 hours. Regardless of
the type of classification answers,most of the respondents havemore than 3positive criteria for addiction (when taking the mild classification it is
96,4% of respondents, and according to the strict classification it is 81,1%
of the respondents). According to the results of our study, the majority of respondents
who spend time online investing on the stock market and trading
stocks met the criteria for the existence of addiction according to DSM-IV
classification of psychiatric disorders.
