Abstract

The effect of online learning and peer pressure as predictors of internet pornographic addiction among Adazi-Nnukwu adolescents was investigated in this study. Previous research has linked age, melancholy, anxiety, academic performance, and social media addiction. There don't appear to be any studies on the impact of online learning and peer pressure on internet pornographic addiction. The Online Learning Survey (OLS), Peer Pressure Survey, and Online Pornographic Test were used to collect data. Predictive research design and linear regression analysis were found to be the study's design and statistics, respectively. The results showed that online-learning did not significantly predict internet pornographic addiction β = .00, p > .05; while peer pressure significantly predicted internet pornographic addiction among adolescents β = .29, p < .001. It was found that peer pressure, not online learning, predicts internet pornography addiction. Recommendations were given based on the findings.
