Abstract

“The present study aimed to compare psychological resilience, well-being, and emotion regulation strategies in students with and without internet addiction in the second year of high school. This study was conducted using a causal-comparative (analytical) method. The statistical population of the research included all female students in the second year of high school in Rasht during the second semester of the academic year 2023-2024. Young’s Internet Addiction Test (1998) was administered to 250 students. Based on the scores obtained, 60 students with high scores on the internet addiction scale and 60 students without internet addiction were selected. These students completed the Young’s Internet Addiction Test (1998), the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (2003), the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (1989), and the Gross and John Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (2003). To compare the groups, given the existence of several dependent variables, a multivariate analysis of variance test was used. The results showed that students with internet addiction use the emotion suppression strategy more than students without internet addiction, while students without internet addiction use the cognitive reappraisal strategy. Levels of psychological resilience and well-being were higher in students without internet addiction than in students with internet addiction.
