摘要：Internet plays an important role in the lives of young people today. The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between loneliness and depression with internet addiction in female students of Torbat-e-Jaam city in Iran. In this descriptive correlational study, 150 students were selected by convenience sampling. Data collection was carried out through Loneliness scale, Internet addiction test and Bech Depression Laventory. Data was analysed by SPSS/20. Results showed a significant correlation between loneliness and depression with internet addiction (P<0/001). Loneliness and depression are also capable of explaining 0/184% of internet addiction in students. In the assessment of internet addiction, it is necessary to consider the contributing factors of loneliness and depression. And psychologists need to consider these issues in their interventions.
