Background: Internet addiction has become a very serious social phenomenon. With the popularity of the internet, more and more people are addicted to the virtual network and ignore the real interpersonal communication. This has a lot of adverse effects on the healthy growth of teenagers. Thus, this systematic review and meta-analysis will access the problems existing in the interpersonal relationship of internet addiction and clarify the correlation between internet addiction and interpersonal disturbance.
Method: We will search the following databases: PubMed, Embase, Medline, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), Wan Fang and China Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP). All observational studies will be included. Study quality will be assessed by the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. We will use Review Manager 5.3 software for bias risk assessment and data synthesis. We will assess the between-study heterogeneity using I2 statistics.
Discussion: We will synthesize the existing research to evaluate the correlation between internet addiction and interpersonal relationship of adolescents. This review will provide new ideas for the further intervention of Internet addiction to some extent.
