ABSTRACT
Recent studies suggest gender differences in problematic internet usage and such differences could be attributed to usage patterns and motivation and could result in different psychological impacts. This chapter reviews the risk factors, internet-related activities, access to the internet, and internet usage sequelae among women in Malaysia. We conclude the chapter by summarizing current treatment models which could be used in managing problematic internet usage among Malaysian women. It is hoped that this chapter could provide insight into future research areas as new studies in the field continue to emerge.
