[Keywords:] network negative impact on college students prevention and control measures

With the wide application of network in people's daily life, its richness and convenience make people rely on it more and more. As college students who are receiving higher education, the Internet has become an indispensable part of their lives, broadening their horizons and facilitating their study. However, it is worrying that a considerable number of college students are addicted to the internet, which has seriously affected their body, mind and studies. At the same time, the existence of this phenomenon is not conducive to the overall construction of excellent study style and school spirit, and is not conducive to the construction of a harmonious campus. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the negative effects of Internet addiction on college students, so as to find practical countermeasures and promote the harmonious development of campus.

First, the negative impact

1. Negative influence on learning

Many students who are addicted to the internet have a strong sense of dependence and demand on the internet, but they lack interest or concentration in other activities, lack a sense of time, their memory declines, and even their self-esteem and self-confidence decline, and their learning efficiency naturally declines. Because I am addicted to the internet, I waste a lot of time online, which seriously affects my studies. I have been skipping classes and staying up late, and I can't finish my homework in time, which leads to a decline in my grades. As a result, I lost interest and confidence in learning, and my grades further declined. Then I use the internet to escape this unwillingness to learn, which leads to a vicious circle.

2. Negative effects on health

Sitting in front of the computer for a long time has a great impact on health, including decreased vision and overall physical fitness. College students are still in the critical period of physical growth and development, so they should take part in more physical exercises and indulge in the internet for a long time, not to mention the harm of computer radiation. Brain nerves are constantly in a state of high excitement, which will lead to the imbalance of hormone levels in the body, the decline of immune function and vision, and lead to many diseases such as cardiovascular and gastrointestinal functions, which will bring serious harm to health.

3. Negative effects on mental health

The negative impact of internet addiction on college students' psychology is far greater than that on their health. The psychological diseases induced by vicious circle are rising, which makes college students feel more powerless, depressed and violent in the face of reality. The lack of goals and indifference of interpersonal relationships will inevitably affect college students' commitment to social responsibility in the future. And once the network activities are stopped, there will be psychological adverse reactions, such as depression, loss of interest, irritability, depression, and even suicidal thoughts or behaviors.

(1) Emotional response disorder

Emotional response disorder refers to the disorder of the initial motivation of emotions, resulting in too high or too low response inconsistent with objective stimuli. Once college students are addicted to the internet, they will have different degrees of emotional unresponsiveness, apathy and anxiety. Its main manifestations are weariness of learning, inattention in class, indifference to groups, irritability, impulsiveness, and serious physiological reactions such as nausea, vomiting and anorexia.

(2) interpersonal communication is shrinking.

Addicted to the internet, interpersonal communication among college students is greatly reduced, replaced by virtual interpersonal relationships. They seek spiritual friends through human-computer interaction in the virtual world, lacking realistic communication, which will inevitably affect the interpersonal communication of teenagers in real life. Playing online games for a long time has greatly reduced the time for college students to participate in meaningful campus cultural activities and social activities, and gradually alienated from other students. In the long run, the social function of college students will be damaged. In addition, the problem of making friends in the network virtual world is not limited to the network, but affects students' real life more and more widely. As a result of indulging in the internet, there is a deep gap between college students and the real world. When dealing with real interpersonal relationships, college students are often at a loss and become more and more indifferent to people. For this reason, many college students are far away from the crowd and escape from society, hoping to seek refuge in the virtual network world.

(3) the role of self-division

When college students encounter setbacks and difficulties in real life, they always want to avoid the internet and get comfort from it. The network covers up real life and widens the gap between "real life" and "virtual society" and "true self" and "ideal self". They are eager to pursue a virtual perfect life on the internet, but passively treat or escape from the real world. The conflict between their "real me", "real me" and "online me" often makes them completely different online and offline, which will seriously lead to double or multiple personality problems.

(4) distorted outlook on life and values

The ideology and values infiltrated by many online contents are not conducive to college students to accept and establish excellent traditional cultural concepts, correct national consciousness and patriotism. In addition, many networks are full of violence, terror, pornography and foul language. Most online games are a predatory world, emphasizing bloody killing and hatred, and violence determines everything, which is extremely unfavorable for college students to establish correct life values. Research has proved that there is a causal relationship between media violence and real violence, and the violence-oriented network content is likely to lead college students to show aggression in real life, and it is more likely to show aggression in the process of interacting with others, and even go astray seriously. Second, the countermeasures

1. Vigorously improve the educational ability of educational subjects and build a good exchange and education platform.

Contemporary college students have a strong sense of self and cannot preach blindly. In fact, a considerable number of college students who are addicted to the Internet turned to the Internet to seek a new "self" because their education was unscientific when they were young and their basic needs of speaking and interest could not be met. Therefore, the subject of education should strengthen the study of pedagogy, psychology and other knowledge, reflect on the improper behavior in the past education process and correct it. On the other hand, educators should re-recognize the network, make efforts to contact the network, create a campus website that is conducive to the development of college students, make full use of the functions of the campus network, make it an effective platform for teachers and students to learn, exchange ideas and hearts, enhance the knowledge, science and technology and interest of the campus network, make it close to students and enhance the attraction of the campus network. On the one hand, we can know ourselves and ourselves and provide adequate preparation for education; On the other hand, it can eliminate all kinds of obstacles in communication education in the past, build an effective carrier, let students open their hearts and realize barrier-free communication.

2. Carry out in-depth network culture education and establish a correct network view.

Facing the network, schools should strengthen the positive guidance and education for students. First of all, we should guide college students to treat the network correctly. Network is the change of human production mode brought by the development of science and technology, and it is a modern tool for study, work and life, but it is not a spiritual home, let alone a paradise. Secondly, we should help college students fully understand the two sides of the network. The network has brought convenience to human beings, but it also has many harms. We should foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, especially don't be obsessed with the internet. Third, we should help college students form a good online mentality. Only by correctly understanding the virtuality, concealment and freedom of the network can we switch freely between the network virtual environment and real life, and we can't put the cart before the horse and indulge in the network virtual environment; Consciously abide by network ethics, actively participate in the construction of network civilization, do not spread false information, do not cheat, and do not engage in illegal and criminal activities. Fourthly, we should cultivate college students' positive attitude towards real life. Guide college students to recognize their own advantages and needs, find other ways to meet their psychological needs, encourage college students to participate in real activities and exchanges, and cultivate and give play to their own advantages.

3. Strengthen and improve the construction of network system and standardize the management of college students' network behavior.

Most college students are adults, but their self-control ability is relatively weak. It is necessary to strengthen the construction of the network system and limit their online behavior to a certain time and scope. By establishing relevant rules and regulations, strictly implementing them, strengthening the supervision and management of college students' study and life links such as classrooms and dormitories, strengthening the training of online behavior, and cultivating good online behavior habits, we can overcome and eliminate the adverse effects of the Internet on college students. At the same time, it also has a certain corrective effect on internet addicts. Schools should strictly abide by school rules and regulations, establish rules and regulations, and formulate campus computer network management regulations, dormitory computer network management regulations, Internet user codes, etc. In order to standardize the management, and start with the apartment management regulations, students who are away at night are severely dealt with, and the possibility of students surfing the Internet all night is eliminated from the source.

4. Carefully create a good campus cultural atmosphere to enrich college students' life.

Internet addiction of college students is not only related to individuals and groups, but also influenced by social and cultural factors. Therefore, strengthening the construction of campus culture is of great significance to prevent college students from indulging in the network. Colleges and universities can give full play to the educational function of the second classroom, offer high-level humanities and art lectures, and improve the comprehensive quality of college students; Organize healthy extracurricular sports activities, so that college students can be deeply impressed, think and ask questions, and constantly broaden their horizons, thus improving their cultural heritage and aesthetic taste. At the same time, we can also organize website design contest, software development design contest, Flash design contest, network knowledge contest and other activities to shift students' energy from indulging in the network to learning knowledge and skills. These cultural and sports activities can also meet the needs of college students, such as making friends and socializing, independent and free activities, giving full play to their special skills and realizing self-worth. , so as to mobilize their enthusiasm, let them invest more in real activities and reduce their obsession with the network.

5. Carry out extensive mental health education to improve the mental health level of college students.

Most college students who are addicted to the internet turn a blind eye to accusations and are indifferent to the restraint mechanism, showing good "psychological quality". However, in fact, most of them are extremely vulnerable psychologically. Therefore, we should pay attention to their mental health, strengthen psychological counseling, blame less, and strive to build an effective communication platform; Communicate with them as much as possible the reasons for their addiction and find out the crux of personal addiction to the internet; According to the psychological characteristics, investigate the factors that cause psychological defects in the growth of different individuals, formulate practical psychological counseling programs, and actively carry out individual psychological counseling by offering psychological courses or series of lectures. Let college students learn how to deal with academic pressure and interpersonal relationships, how to face setbacks and difficulties, how to seek psychological balance and self-confidence, learn to distinguish the boundaries between online society and real life, and don't use surfing the Internet as the main tool to escape life problems or mediate negative emotions.

In short, for college students who are addicted to the Internet, we should fully understand the nature of the problem. We should try our best to educate and save students from four aspects: society, schools, parents and students themselves. In the process of concrete implementation, we must be caring, patient and sincere to students. We must also have a correct attitude, foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, and guide correctly. We can neither accept it all nor deny it all. At the same time, we should also grasp the principle of "degree" in our work and properly control and restrict our freedom. Let the life of students who are addicted to the internet be truly rich and healthy, and jointly build a harmonious and positive campus culture.
