Kimberly Young is a psychologist and an expert on Internet addiction disorder and online behaviour. She founded the Center for Internet Addiction in 1995[1] and is a psychology professor at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford with a PhD in Clinical Psychology.[2] She has published numerous journal articles and books chapters and served as an expert witness regarding her pioneer research including testimony for the Child Protection Online Act Congressional Committee.[3]
Center for Internet Addiction
Young's interest in Internet addiction started when the Internet was proliferating in the 1990s. At that time, many people in mainstream media were beginning to coin the phrase 'online addicts' for those who spent large amounts of time on the Internet. Young was surprised at how few studies examined the phenomenon of Internet addiction. In 1994 Young devised a questionnaire for Internet users to see what their online behaviours had in common with the actions of compulsive gamblers and alcoholics. Young founded the Centre for Internet Addiction Recovery in 1995 and has served as its director since its inception.[4]
