Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of emotional intelligence and parenting, gender and duration of internet use on internet addiction. The sample of this study involved 266 participants who were selected using a nonprobability sampling technique, namely accidental sampling. The measuring instruments used consisted of the Internet Addiction Test (IAT) by Young (1998) to measure internet addiction, the Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT) by Mayor, Salovey, Caruso (2003) to measure emotional intelligence; and the Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ) by Buri (1991) to measure parenting patterns. Test the validity of the measuring instrument using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and to test the research hypothesis using multiple regression analysis techniques. The results showed that there was a significant effect of emotional intelligence, parenting parents, gender and duration of internet use on internet addiction with an R square value of 22.1%. The remaining 77.9% is influenced by variables outside the study. In detail, the dimensions that have a significant effect on internet addiction are managing emotions, authoritarianism, gender, and duration of internet use. Meanwhile, other dimensions in this study, such as understanding emotions, facilitating emotions, understanding emotions, authoritative, and permissive did not have a significant effect on internet addiction.
