Abstract

Internet addiction disorder has become a serious social problem, and aroused great concern from the public and spe-cialists. In this paper, the psychological states of internet addicts are measured by some famous mental scales, and their life qualities are investigated by some questionnaires. Structural Equations Model (SEM) is used to analyze the relationship between the psychological health and life qualities of internet addicts. Meanwhile, a definite linear algorithm of SEM is proposed which is useful for psychological analysis.
