摘要：The Internet is a pervasive component of the student’s education experience. An important question, however, is whether the insistence upon Internet use and the availability of access has also led to considerable adverse student e-behavior. As a result, this paper empirically investigates potentially negative student e-behavior. E-behavior is examined by type and volume to ascertain the extent of potential misuse. Results suggest that undergraduates spend a considerable amount of time in non-productive Internet activities. Instant messaging and non- school related surfing are the most prevalent and time-consuming behaviors. In addition, findings indicate that e-behavior varies considerably among academic class. Seniors are less involved and spend less than half as much time as freshmen in negative Internet activities. Finally, results suggest that incidence is relatively consistent among the Spring and Fall semesters.
