Abstract

The text concerns the issue of e-addictions among youth. The description of the phenomenon in the Polish perspective was made on the basis of the results of national and international research. The considerations are based on the theory of social constructionism and are related to whether the problem of differently treated e-addictions is a real problem in Poland or is it just a phenomenon created by researchers and specialists dealing behavioral disorders. The results leave no illusions - the scale of the phenomenon in the Polish reality is similar to that presented in other European countries, which draws attention to the need to take preventive measures and monitor the situation, especially as a consequence of changes in the patterns of Internet use by young people in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic.
