Therefore, this research aims to explore the predictive role of Media literacy/fa?page=1&sort=1&ftyp=all&fgrp=all&fyrs=all" target="_blank">media literacy on internet addiction among Turkish adolescents. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Ankara Province, Turkey, and the population included 401 adolescents aged 15-18 years in the academic year of 2020-2021. Since the data were collected during the COVID-19 pandemic, the sample selection was not feasible, and the study included adolescents who volunteered. The data were collected using a “personal information form,” “new Media literacy/fa?page=1&sort=1&ftyp=all&fgrp=all&fyrs=all" target="_blank">media literacy scale (NMLS),” and “young’s internet addiction test-short form (YIAT-SF).” The data were analyzed using various statistical techniques, including Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskall-Wallis H test, Tamhane’s T2 post hoc test, Spearman correlation analysis, point-biserial correlation analysis, and multivariate regression analysis. Results: It has been determined that adolescents have a high level of Media literacy/fa?page=1&sort=1&ftyp=all&fgrp=all&fyrs=all" target="_blank">media literacy (x̄=126.76) and are in the risk group in terms of internet addiction (x̄=39.01). The average Media literacy/fa?page=1&sort=1&ftyp=all&fgrp=all&fyrs=all" target="_blank">media literacy among girls (U=153; z=-3.851; 05) and internet addiction among boys is high (U=163; z=-2,961; 05). The results of regression analysis revealed that Media literacy/fa?page=1&sort=1&ftyp=all&fgrp=all&fyrs=all" target="_blank">media literacy predicts internet addiction in adolescents (ß=-0.151; R2=0.060), and also emphasizes the importance of Media literacy/fa?page=1&sort=1&ftyp=all&fgrp=all&fyrs=all" target="_blank">media literacy education in enhancing these skills and mitigating internet addiction. Conclusion: It is evident that Media literacy/fa?page=1&sort=1&ftyp=all&fgrp=all&fyrs=all" target="_blank">media literacy predicts internet addiction. Therefore, it is essential to provide Media literacy/fa?page=1&sort=1&ftyp=all&fgrp=all&fyrs=all" target="_blank">media literacy education to adolescents. Thus, adolescents’ awareness of Media literacy/fa?page=1&sort=1&ftyp=all&fgrp=all&fyrs=all" target="_blank">media literacy should be increased, and they should become conscious users.
