Risky Decision-Making and Reward-Related Attentional Capture Are Uniquely Associated with Problematic Usage of the Internet in Men: A Cross-Sectional Study

We studied how risky decision-making and reward-related attentional capture are associated with problematic internet use (PIU) in an online sample of five-hundred-and-sixty-five using neurocognitive and trait/behavioural measures. PUI was linked to poorer decision-making and greater attention to reward cues in men, but the underlying factors in women were less clear.
