Background: Today, the Internet is an important part of life, especially the life of young people. Several factors may cause young people to have Internet addiction (IA).
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the role of the Broad Autism Phenotype (BAP), social cognition, and loneliness in creating (IA) in among college students in Iran.
Methods: The research method of this research was correlation and convenience sampling. The sample consisted of 218 Imam Khomeini International University students studying at this university in the academic year 2022-2023. Research data were collected using questionnaires of IA, loneliness, theory of mind, and broad autism phenotype (BAP) and were analyzed using correlation method and simultaneous-entry multiple regression analyses.
Result: The coefficient of correlation showed that loneliness, social cognition, and BAP have a significant relationship with IA at the (P=0.01) level. Also, this analysis showed that social cognition and BAP among technical students are more predictive of IA than social science students. The findings show a significant relationship between the feeling of loneliness, social cognition, and the BAP with IA.
Conclusion: In this regard, the officials of educational centers should take extensive measures to reduce the impact of the factors that cause IA in students.
