Abstract

The aim of this research was to investigate the relationship between components of emotional intelligence and addiction to internet among the high school students of Tehran. The statistical sample included all of the high school students of Tehran in 2012-2013. The sample consisted of 972 persons who were selected as follows: at first, among the 22 districts of Tehran (districts of the municipality), and from each district 4 high schools, 2 private (one girl school and one boy school) and 2 public schools (one girl school and one boy school) were randomly chosen. In each selected school, from each stage, one class (totally 4 classes from every high school) was selected. Then, the students were asked to complete the Young Internet Addiction Questionnaire, Demographic data questionnaire and BAR-ON questionnaire (completing the questionnaires was done through the website of the researcher which is www.beheshtiyan.ir). The number of students who completed the questionnaire was 8342 who among them 4967 students also completed the emotional questionnaire. Among all of the students, 573 persons were diagnosed as internet addicted who among them 486 students were completed the emotional intelligence questionnaire too. Accordingly, among the non-addicted students, 486 persons who completed the emotional intelligence questionnaire were randomly selected. Then, the data were analyzed by ‘independent t test’. The results indicated that there is a positive significant relationship between emotional intelligence and addiction to internet.
Based on the results of this study, it could be said that by increasing the emotional intelligence in students, we can prevent them from internet addiction.
