dc.description.abstractInternet Addiction (IA), also called pathological Internet use/excessive Internet use, has been included in the research in recent years. Previous work from Germany and Austria highlighted the importance of personality and excessive private Internet usage for Internet Addiction (IA). The aim of this study is to repeat previous studies reporting the relationship between IA and personality and between IA and private internet use, and to test these relationships in seven different cultures to find out whether these correlations of IA are invariant across different cultures. In a cross-cultural approach we tried to replicate a negative association between IA and the personality trait of self-directedness in Bulgaria, Germany, Spain, Colombia, China, Taiwan and Sweden and as well the finding that persons with a damaged self-esteem have a higher proclivity for becoming Internet addicted in Bulgaria, Spain, Germany and Colombia. In total N = 989 took part in the study. Results show that the personality dimension self-directedness was negatively correlated to the IA score of the participants in all samples. In contrast, no interaction effect between implicit and explicit self-esteem on IA could be observed. The results of this study point to some factors that may play an important role in better understanding the nature of IA.en_US
