Abstract

Introduction: Problematic computer use is a growing social issue that is being debated worldwide. This study examined the prevalence of internet addiction among Tabriz university students and its relationship with an emotional and social feeling of loneliness. Method: 372 students of Tabriz University (200 male students and 172 female students) were selected by multi-stage random cluster sampling. For gathering data, from the Young internet addiction test (1998), loneliness questionnaire Woodworth (1986) emotional and social loneliness Russell questionnaire (1996) was utilized. Result: Data were analyzed by cluster analysis and MANOVA. The results of cluster analysis showed three clusters with a mind (M= 21. 6), moderate (M= 36. 8) and severe (M= 47. 8) degrees of internet addiction. Also, significant differences among 3 profiles were found in Emotional loneliness [F (130/5, P≤ 0/001] and Social isolation [F (123. 45, P≤ 0/001]. Conclusion: Given the rising percentage of students suffer from Internet addiction and emotional-Social isolation, it is, therefore, necessary to consider the phenomenon of Internet addiction as a psychological problem by cultural and educational planners and the family system. To prevent this phenomenon, it is necessary to provide the necessary knowledge at the community level about signs and symptoms of addiction to the Internet.
