Abstract:
Total 30 undergraduates with moderate to severe internet addiction (IA) were selected through Young’s IAT. Catell’s 16PF and Pandey and Anand’s MSREIS-R were administered to assess personality correlates and emotional intelligence (EI). Participants with IA showed higher frequencies of PDs (29.6%) compared to those without IA (9.3%; p < .001). In males with IA, Cluster C PDs were more prevalent. Compared to participants who had IA only, lower rates of remission of IA were found among participants with IA and additional Cluster B PDs. Comorbidity of IA, PDs and EI must be considered in prevention and treatment.
