Abstract To clarify the executive functioning characteristics of individuals with Problematic Internet Use (PIU), this study conducted a three-level random-effects meta-analysis of 59 studies. Results revealed that the PIU group demonstrated significantly poorer overall executive functioning compared to the healthy control group. Significant moderating effects of executive function components were observed: the PIU group exhibited notably worse performance in working memory, inhibitory control, and cognitive flexibility compared to controls, with working memory showing a substantially larger effect size than other subcomponents. However, no significant moderating effects emerged for gender, age, cultural background, PIU type, or material specificity. These findings provide empirical foundations for both theoretical models and clinical interventions targeting PIU.
