School Students, Internet Addiction, Well-Being.

Internet is an indispensable and vital part of everyday life. It provides easy access to abundant information, serves as a mode of communication and interaction across the globe. It is also a source of entertainment but is a double-edged sword that many adolescents may be unable to recognize, and compulsive usage can lead to harmful effects on the health and well-being of adolescents. The study aims to investigate internet addiction and well-being among school students. Internet addiction is excessive or poorly controlled preoccupations, or behaviours or urges, regarding computer and internet use that can lead to distress (Shaw & Black, 2008). Based on literature reviews, according to Pressman et al. (2020), well-being is as a state of physical, social, and psychological health. The sample consisted of 158 students from two sections of classes 7 and 8 studying in a private English-medium school aged 13 and 14. The research design was ex post facto bivariate in nature. Internet Addiction Test (Young, 1998) and General Well-Being Scale (Kalia & Deswal, 2011) were used to assess internet addiction and well-being respectively. Independent sample t test was used to find the gender difference in internet addiction and well-being among school students and Pearson’s product-moment correlation was used to find the relationship between Internet addiction and well- being. Results indicated that there was no significant difference between boys and girls in internet addiction as well as their well-being. Internet addiction negatively correlated with well-being among school students.
