摘要：Background. In line with the approach of Larkin et al. (2006), we consider technologicaldependence in the context of the interaction between personality, environment, andculture.Objective. The aim of this study is to discover technology-related changes in psychologicalneeds and boundaries that could mediate the relationship between psychopathologicalsymptoms and indicators of excessive use of info-communication technologies(ICT). The application of the Body Function Regulation Model to the use of ICT suggeststhat technology-related changes in the system of an individual’s needs and psychologicalboundaries mediate the relationship between a sense of poor psychological well-beingand the risk of technology dependence.Design. The study of a normative sample (N = 275) using two technologies–mobilephones and the Internet–was performed.Results and Discussion. We demonstrated that the relationship between the generallevel of psychopathological symptoms and excessive use of technology (subjectivedependence and inability to refrain from use of mobile phones and the Internet) is indeedmediated by the perception of their indispensability for extension of psychologicalboundaries, and (for the Internet) its use in image-making.
