Internet Addiction Assessment (IAA)

Background

The Internet Addiction Assessment (IAA) is a psychological questionnaire used to measure problematic internet and smartphone use.

The assessment looks at excessive screen time, emotional dependence on online activity, loss of control over internet use, social withdrawal, and problems caused by internet behavior in daily life.

The IAA is commonly used in behavioral health and digital well-being screening because it provides a reliable way to identify unhealthy internet habits and online dependence.

Higher scores may suggest excessive internet use, emotional reliance on online activity, reduced self-control, or internet-related difficulties affecting work, school, sleep, or relationships.

Procedure

You will be presented with 18 statements about internet use, smartphone behavior, and online habits.

Read each statement carefully and choose the response that best matches your usual experiences and behavior.

Please answer honestly according to your real online habits and daily experiences.

Participation

This assessment is intended for adolescents and adults who are able to understand and honestly answer questions about their internet and smartphone use.

Participation is voluntary. Responses are anonymous and intended for educational, self-awareness, and research-related purposes only.

Higher scores may reflect problematic internet use, emotional dependence on online activity, smartphone overuse, or internet-related difficulties in daily life.
