Asa result of the study a positive, mean- ngful, and high correlation between the internet addiction and the computer games addiction level was found When the relationship between the shyness and the internet addiction and computer games addiction level s studied, another positive correlation is found, as well. In this study, fit indices obtained from the structural eguation model which was established to determine the relationships among internet addiction, computer game addiction and shyness showed that the model was confirmed Key Words Internet Addiction, Computer Games Addiction, Shyness. Recently, the fast developments occurred due to the technological developments provide people with the facility of accessing and sharing information instantly. Among the technological developments computer and the internet take place as well. In a society, like everyone needs to use computer and the internet, some problems come along because of the misuse and the frequency of use. Excessive use of computer and the internet among the school age children- who are eager to learn technological developments- has a negative effect on young adults' psychological, physical, academic success, which possibly give way to addiction (Kubey Lavin, & Barrow, 2001; Young, 1996). In this technological era, the internet and computer have become the most often used technological devices. Likewise, according to the data gathered 23.8 % of world population, 74.2% of American society, 48.9% of Europe population and 35% of Turkey population use Internet (Internet World Stats [IWS], 2009). With the rise in the Internet and computer use rate, peoples' time allocated for computer has risen accordingly. Excessive use of the Internet and computer brings the risk of computer/ Internet addiction along (Chou, Condron, & Bel-land, 2005; Lee et al., 2007; Watson, 2005). Internet addiction can be roughly defined as the inability of resistance for using the Internet excessively, seeing the time spent outside the virtual environment as a loss of time, being very furious and aggressive when deprived of, deteriorating of the person's work, social and family life (Young, 2004). When the prevalence of the studies done about the Internet addiction is checked, it is seen that the prevalence is between 6-14% (Chou & Hsiao, 2000; Kraut et al., 1998; Young & Rogers, 1998). In this context, excessive use of the online communication, online games or other excessive uses can be the first signals of Internet-computer addiction (Fleming & Rick-wood, 2004; Watson, 2005).Computer games have become one of the most important entertainment tools for children (Horzum, 2011). Shy people tend to be alone much more than the ones who are not shy. Shyness which effects the communication between people negatively causes people who have communication problems to be alone (Cheek & Buss, 1981). When the people who use the Internet excessively are studied, it is seen that these people tend to be extremely sensitive to the possible disappointments in their relations with the other people and this mood causes them to be very anxious about communicating with others (Whang, Lee, & Chang, 2003). The Internet is used for not being alone and communicating with others by some people. Especially shy, introvert people use the Internet to have social relations and manage these relations as a way of socialize (Davis, Flett, & Beser, 2002). Studies have shown that these shy people who have difficulty in having social support in their real lives, use the Internet's interactive functions, such as chat rooms very often (Young, 1999) Shy people experience more problems in their face to face relations than online ones (Ward & Tracey 2004). …" @default.
