Abstract

The definition of maladaptive consumption has undergone a substantial revision in the past two decades, accommodating the changes that have affected, during the same period, global consumerism, primarily the advent of online media and electronic devices to access the internet. New technologies can affect important spheres of an individual’s life. The present chapter provides a review of the literature on technology-mediated problematic behaviors, focusing on internet use, online gambling, online gaming, and use of video streaming services. It reviews theory, evidence, and future trajectories with respect to the conceptualization, assessment, and unresolved questions in the field, in the attempt to summarize the available evidence and offer a perspective regarding this relatively new but extremely lively research area.
