According to Griffith (2000, 2001), the experience of a "buzz" or "numbing" sensation during Internet sex addiction is a form of mood modification, which is the process of altering one's emotional state to cope with stress or discomfort. This suggests that the correct answer is C, mood modification. Preoccupation refers to a persistent focus on the behavior or substance, while salience refers to the importance placed on the behavior or substance. Conflict is the experience of internal struggle or ambivalence about the behavior or substance. While these concepts may also be relevant to Internet sex addiction, they do not specifically relate to the experience of a "buzz" or "numbing" sensation.
