Abstract

The present study explored the relationship of emotional intelligence and psychological distress with internet addiction. The participants were 200 individuals from different universities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi, who were active internet users in their daily life. A co-relational method was used in order to obtain the quantitative analysis of the relationship between the three variables. The Internet Addiction Test (Young, 1998), Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (Wong et al., 2007) and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21were used. The results supported the hypothesis that there is a relationship between internet addiction, psychological distress and emotional intelligence among internet users.
