Moreover, a significant relationship was found between social skills and emotion regulation. While positive social behaviors did not predict internet addiction, negative social behaviors showed a prediction. External-dysfunctional and internal-dysfunctional emotion regulation partially mediated the relationship between social skills and internet addiction through negative social behaviors.
