ABSTRACT: Today, the use of the Internet, especially mobile Internet, has become increasingly popular. With no

phones or Wi-Fi tablets whenever and wherever they want. In light of this phenomenon, this study aimed to
investigate the correlation between personality traits and mobile Internet addiction. The subjects were
16–18-year-old senior high school students who often used mobile Internet. The results of the study suggest that
the duration of mobile Internet use is relevant to mobile Internet addiction............
