Digital Addiction and Its Impact on the Psychological and Behavioral Aspects of Online Shoppers An analytical study of the opinions of a sample of Iraqi families in Mosul

This study aims to measure the impact of digital addiction on the psychological and behavioral aspects of online shoppers, focusing on a sample of individuals from Iraqi families in Mosul. The research adopted a descriptive quantitative approach using a structured questionnaire as the primary data collection tool. The questionnaire covered three main dimensions: the level of digital addiction, psychological effects, and behavioral consequences. The findings indicate that digital addiction is a significant issue, as it is associated with increased stress and anxiety, decreased life satisfaction, and a rise in compulsive buying behaviors. The study recommends raising awareness about the risks of digital addiction, expanding psychological and social support programs, and promoting responsible technology use. It provides valuable insights for policymakers to better understand the impact of modern technology in conflict-affected environments.
