"This book describes the torrent of data generated through research on the neurobiology and psychology of drug addiction, and discusses the role of mathematical and computational modeling in the development of more testable and rigorous models of addiction."

"The central problem in the study of addiction is to explain why people repeatedly behave in ways they know are bad for them. For much of the previous century and until the present day, the majority of scientific and medical attempts to solve this problem were couched in terms of involuntary behavior; if people behave in ways they do not want, then this must be because the behavior is beyond their control and outside the realm of choice. An opposing tradition, which finds current support among scientists and scholars as well as members of the general public, is that so-called addictive behavior reflects an ordinary choice just like any other and that the concept of addiction is a myth. To these polarized views of addiction, the editors and chapter authors of this volume say a plague on both your houses. There has been an increasing recognition in recent literature on addiction that restricting possible conceptions of it to either of these extreme positions is unhelpful and is retarding progress on understanding the nature of addiction and what could be done about it. This book contains a range of views from philosophy, neuroscience, psychiatry, psychology, and the law on what exactly this middle ground between free choice and no choice consists of and what its implications are for theory, practice, and policy on addiction. The result amounts to a profound change in our thinking on addiction and how its devastating consequences can be ameliorated."

"Fokus utama dari penelitian ini adalah membahas tentang praktik bisnis transaksi mikro dan dampak negatifnya terhadap anak di bawah umur dan remaja. Untuk mencapai itu, Penulis menguraikan pokok-pokok permasalahan sebagai berikut: 1) Bagaimana perbandingan perlindungan hukum terhadap transaksi mikro antara Indonesia dan Belanda diterapkan? 2) Apakah sistem hukum yang saat ini dirumuskan oleh Pemerintah Indonesia sudah memadai dalam menghadapi bahaya praktek bisnis microtransaction bagi anak di bawah umur? 3) Apa pendekatan ideal untuk mengatasi masalah ini di Indonesia saat ini? Berdasarkan penelitian yang dilakukan penulis, ditemukan bahwa sistem hukum Indonesia saat ini sangat kurang dibandingkan dengan Belanda dalam menangani praktik bisnis transaksi mikro dalam video game online. Oleh karena itu, untuk meminimalisir potensi kerugian bagi anak di bawah umur dan remaja Indonesia, Pemerintah Indonesia harus menyesuaikan tanggung jawab sosial para pelaku usaha video game serta menyebarkan kesadaran akan dampak negatif pembelian produk microtransaction di masyarakat.

The main focus of this study is to discuss regarding microtransaction business practice and its negative effects towards youth and adolescents. In order to achieve that, the Author describes the main issues as the following: 1) How is the comparison of legal protection against microtransactions between Indonesia and Netherlands implemented? 2) Is the current legal system that is formulated by the Indonesian Government adequate in dealing with the dangers of microtransaction business practice for minors? 3) What is the ideal approach to tackling this problem in Indonesia currently? Based on the research conducted by the author, it is discovered that the current Indonesian legal system is severely lacking in comparison to Netherlands in handling microtransaction business practice in online video games. Therefore, in order to minimize the potential damages to Indonesia’s youth and adolescents, the Indonesian Government must adjust the social responsibility of video game business actors as well as spread the awareness of the negative effects of purchasing microtransaction products in public.

"Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mendapatkan gambaran Internet addiction pada dewasa muda. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan menggunakan theory based sampling. Partisipan dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 2 orang dengan kisaran usia antara 18-24 tahun. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan cara wawancara Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa para partisipan memiliki pola penggunaan internet yang jauh lebih sering dan lama dari rata-rata pengguna internet lainnya. Dari sisi pengeluaran, uang yang mereka gunakan demi memenuhi kebutuhan mereka untuk berinternet juga cukup banyak. Namun pada akhirnya biasanya mereka menyiasatinya dengan mengambil paket-paket yang tersedia agar pengeluaran dapat berkurang. Para partisipan juga memiliki kesadaran penuh akan perilaku mereka. Namun mereka tidak memiliki kekuatan untuk dapat menahan keinginan mereka untuk berinternet. Mereka juga menyadari bahwa dengan berinternet secara berlebihan akan menimbulkan dampak yang negatif bagi kehidupan mereka. Masalah dalam hubungan sosial dan juga akademis selalu dialami oleh partisipan. Hal ini disebabkan karena mereka lebih banyak menghabiskan waktu untuk berinternet dan memikirkan mengenainya daripada untuk aktivitas yang lain. Besarnya masalah yang dimiliki partisipan bervariasi sesuai dengan adiksi mereka dengan internet.The purpose of this study is to achieve an understanding of internet addiction behaviors in young adults. This study uses qualitative method, using the theory based sampling method. The study collects its data through interviewing two participants aging between 18-24 years old. Study results shows that participants use the internet much longer and more frequently compared to the average internet user. They also spend an excessive amount of money to fulfill their internet needs. However, they usually take the available discount promotions to save money. Participants show full awareness about their behavior. However, they admit to having no ability to hold back their urge to use the internet. They also realize that their excessive use of the internet can result in negative outcomes in their lives. Both participants face problems in their social and academic lives.

"Biological research on addiction examines the neurobiological mechanisms of drug use and drug addiction, describing how the brain responds to addictive substances as well as how it is affected by drugs of abuse. The book's four main sections examine behavioral and molecular biology; neuroscience; genetics; and neuroimaging and neuropharmacology as they relate to the addictive process.This volume is especially effective in presenting current knowledge on the key neurobiological and genetic elements in an individual’s susceptibility to drug dependence, as well as the processes by which some individuals proceed from casual drug use to drug dependence.Biological research on addiction is one of three volumes comprising the 2,500-page series, Comprehensive addictive behaviors and disorders. This series provides the most complete collection of current knowledge on addictive behaviors and disorders to date. In short, it is the definitive reference work on addictions."
