In this research the Internet addicts group was defined as those who had scored higher than 111, the at risk group was defined as those who had scored between 69 and 110, and the typical users group was below 69 on the Internet Use and Addiction questionnaire. In the scale of Pratarelli and Browne (2002) the limits are determined by the researcher. Results showed that 420 (49.4%) were typical users, 375 of them (44.1%) were at risk of becoming Internet addicts and 56 (6.6%) were Internet addicts.
