Abstract
Internet addiction is a serious public health problem around the world. The number of global internet users has reaching more than 2.3 billion in 2011. Any addictive behavior may be the result of psychiatric symptoms. Researchers have shown that interpersonal difficulty found in people with borderline personality traits is associated with internet addiction. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explain the structural model of the relationship between borderline personality traits, interpersonal problems and addiction to the internet. The study was correlational and the statistical population of the study included all residents of the Karaj city in the fall of 1394, of which 262 persons were selected by multistage cluster sampling method. The instruments of the study included Borderline Symptom List by Bohus and colleagues (2007), Interpersonal Difficulties-47 by Pilkonis and colleagues (1996) and Internet Addiction by Young (1998). Data analysis with Structural Equation Modeling showed that the model fits well to the data and 43% of the variance of internet addiction is due to the changes in the numbers of borderline personality traits and interpersonal problems. Also, interpersonal difficulties mediated the relationship between borderline personality traits and internet addiction. It can be concluded that internet can be a social tool for meeting the needs of the individuals with borderline personality traits.
