The scale is a 5-point Likert type scale consisting of 22 items and 3 sub-dimensions. Adolescents' Internet addiction is a scale consisting of 4 sub-dimensions and 35 questions in 5-point likert type, which was added to the literature in the study conducted by Günüç and Kayri (2010).

On the other hand, general internet addiction was found to be positively and at a low level with the sub-dimension of social anxiety scale Feeling Fear and Anxiety in New Social Situations (S-SHKD).
