Abstract

Method: The universe of research exists students who continue their education at Manisa Celal Bayar University. The sample group consists of a total of 503 volunteers, 296 females and 207 males selected by convenience sampling method. Additionally the personal information form, the "Young Internet Addiction Test-Short Form" (YIAT-SF) and the "Leisure Boredom Scale" (LBS) were applied to the participants. Results: University students had average scores for YIAT-SF (2.67±0.88), boredom (2.66±1.11) and dissatisfaction (2.50±0.97). In addition, there was a positive and significant relationship between YIAT-SF and LBS’s subscales, while the level of boredom significantly affected internet addiction and it was found to predict with a variance of 41%. Conclusion: The perception of boredom in leisure significantly affects the internet addiction levels of individuals.
