The present study aimed to investigate the role of cognitive defusion, depression, mindfulness, and experiential avoidance on internet addiction among university students. The sample of the study comprised of 640 (441 women, 199 men) university students. The Demographic Information Form, Young Internet Addiction Test Short Form (YIAT-SF), Drexel Defusion Scale (DDS), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), Multidimensional Experiential Avoidance Questionnaire-30 (MEAQ-30) were utilized for the data collection. The hierarchical regression analysis results indicated that while there was a significant positive relationship between internet addiction, depression, and some subscales of experiential avoidance (distress aversion, procrastination, repression/denial, and distress endurance); there was a significant negative association between internet addiction, cognitive defusion, and mindfulness. However, there was no significant relationship between internet addiction and other experiential avoidance subscales (behavioral avoidance and distraction/suppression). The hierarchical regression analysis findings revealed that the study variables explained 22% of the variance in internet addiction scores of participants.
