The obtained data were analyzed by the statistical method of path analysis of structural equations. The findings showed that the variable of anxious attachment style with coefficient ( β = ۰.۲۹ ) and psychological loneliness (β = ۰.۴۱ ) has a significant effect on internet addiction . Anxious attachment style ( β = ۰.۳۱ ) has a significant positive effect on psychological loneliness. Also, the results showed that psychological loneliness was able to act as a mediating variable.
