摘要：
Internet is a boon and a bane, It facilitates mass and personal communications and has enhanced global competitiveness, However its excessive, uncontrolled, and problematic use results in a condition called Internet Addiction, One personality trait consistently found to determine internet addiction is sensation seeking which is also found to be associated with the practices of online dating. Within this backdrop, this study aims to examine the influence of levels of sensation seeking on internet addiction among college students-users and non-users of online dating apps. Sensation Seeking Scale (SSS-V) and Internet addiction test was administered on 400 (200 male and 200 female) college students. The results revealed that levels of sensation seeking has a significant influence on internet addiction and there is a significant interaction effect between levels of sensation seeking and online dating on internet addiction among males and females, However no significant influence of online dating was found on internet addiction.
