Makale Özeti:

The current study investigated the relationship between problematic Internet use and
levels of loneliness among 311 distance education students. “The Problematic Internet
Use Scale” and “UCLA-Loneliness Scale III” were used to collect the data. Independentsamples
t-test and one-way ANOVA were conducted to examine the differences; and
correlation and regression analyses were used to examine the relationships between
variables. Findings revealed that male students’ use of the Internet was more
problematic compared to female students’. As the time spent on the Internet increased,
so did the problematic Internet use levels. In addition, the problematic Internet use
levels of students varied with regard to marital status and not varied regard to their
ages. A significant relationship was found between the level of problematic Internet use
and loneliness, and loneliness was found to be among the predictors of problematic
Internet use. Implications and suggestions for further research are provided.
