Abstract
This descriptive-analytical study examines the phenomenon of internet addiction among university students, using Kaplan's problematic internet use scale and applying a survey methodology. A questionnaire was distributed to a sample of 89 students from the Faculty of Media and Communication Sciences, representing various academic levels. The study aimed to measure the prevalence of internet addiction among students and analyse statistical differences related to gender, age, and educational level.
The study provided clear insights into the impact of these variables on the level of internet addiction among students and offered recommendations to mitigate this phenomenon in the academic environment.
