Researchers gathered data on the Internet for one month from 216 college students anonymously and at the same time tested whether the students tend to depression. Then, as a result of analyzing the data obtained from students who are subjects, students with signs of depression discovered that they used different ways to use the Internet than other students. These students tend to use the Internet more randomly, like playing games if you think you were writing e-mails or joining chat if you think so. Chellappan thinks that this tendency comes from the lack of concentration ability which is one of features of depression.
