Sažetak
The Internet has become an integral part of everyday life, facilitating communication and providing entertainment. However, the use of the Internet is sometimes excessive and turns into problematic Internet use. Frequent subjects of research are the predictors of the development of problematic internet use. Several studies have examined the role of adverse childhood experiences in the development of problematic media and Internet use. This paper aims to present existing research on the relation between these two constructs. Three databases were searched: Scopus, EBSCO and PsycInfo, and 12 studies were analysed. The research presented in this paper points to the possible effect of adverse life experiences in childhood on the development of problematic Internet and media use, but there are certain limitations in the research described in the paper and suggestions for improving the research methodology are given. The analysed research can serve for the development of preventive activities and interventions aimed at the problematic use of the Internet, which are based on knowledge about trauma.
