Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to determine the views of university students regarding Internet addiction. The study group consisted of 64 4th year students studying at Kırıkkale University Faculty of Arts and Sciences’ department of philosophy and Kırıkkale University Faculty of Health Sciences’ department of child development in Spring 2013-2014 academic year. In this study, University Students’ Views Regarding Internet Addiction Form were developed by the researcher in order to determine the views of university students. These forms consisted of nine open ended questions related to the students’ views about Internet addiction. According the findings of this research; not being able to fulfill the requirements of friendship, which are communication, sharing and responsibility; trying to overcome those via social media; being lonely, they have scarcely any family ties, the adolescent considers entering the courses and doing literature review in the library as a waste of time and therefore obtains insufficient academic information solely from the Internet.
