Author(s): Chane Fantaw*
The internet, being an integral part of human life, is widely used by
university students for different purposes including academic related works,
networking, entertainment and staying up to date with latest information.
Nevertheless, making use of the internet excessively can bring about negative
consequences in the lives of students. The present study sought to determine
the relationship between internet addiction and psychological wellbeing
among main campus students at Addis Ababa University. Employing a cross
sectional research design, quantitative data from 304 university students
(male = 156, female = 148) with a mean age of 20.76 years (SD = 1.42)
were collected using demographic questionnaire (6 items), Young’s Internet
Addiction Test (20 items) and Ryff’s Psychological Wellbeing scale (18 items).
