The average age was 14.28±0.74 years old, and male is 90 cases, and female is 39 cases.

Statistics Data was input into the computer, and analyzed with SPSS software, we used t test, Chi-square, One-way ANOVA, Spearman correlation, and multiple Linear& Logistic Regression. Results:①The survey of network use and internet addiction situation of junior middle school of Dalian: There was 2624(72.21%) students used internet in lately half a year among 3634 students. And 129(3.55%) students had IAD(Mild: 81students; Moderate or Severe: 48 students);②Compare to stress intermediary variables:⑴Personality There was significant difference on P scores, N scores and L scores within the three groups(F=7.228～12.373,P<0.001). There was significant difference on P scores, N scores and L scores between IAD group and non-IAD group, and between IAD group and non-IT group(t=-5.271～5.194,P<0.001). There was no difference on personality between non-IAD group and non-IT group(t=-1.279～2.481,P>0.05). There was no difference on personality between male and female (t=-1.071～0.700,P>0.05);⑵Automatic thoughts There was significant difference on automatic thoughts scores within the three groups(F=12.208, P<0.001). There was significant difference on automatic thoughts scores between IAD group and non-IAD group(t=10.155, P<0.001)and between IAD group and non-IT group (t=9.938, P<0.001). There was no difference on automatic thoughts scores between non-IAD group and non-IT group (t=-0.217, P>0.05). There was no difference on automatic thoughts scores between male and female (t=0.472, 0.206, P>0.05);⑶Coping style There was significant difference on self-blame, fantasy, retreat, and rationalization within three groups(F=-0.620～1.643,P<0.001). There was significant difference on problem solving, self-blame, fantasy, retreat, and rationalization between IAD group and non-IAD group, and between IAD group and non-IT group(t=-0.620～1.682,P<0.001). There was no difference on coping style between non-IAD group and non-IT group (t=-1.287～0.636,P>0.05). There was no difference on coping style between male and female (t=-0.802～1.607,P>0.05).⑷Perceived social support (PSSS): There was significant difference on PSSS among IAD group, non-IAD group, and non-IT group (F=9.852～12.390,P<0.001). There was significant difference on PSSS between IAD group and non-IAD group, and between IAD group and non-IT group(t=-5.403～-2.249,P<0.001). There was no difference on PSSS between non-IAD group and non-internet group(t=0.101～1.326,P>0.05). There was no difference on PSSS between male and female(t=-1.071～0.202, P>0.05).⑸Regression and correlation analysis: IAD withdrawal symptoms had positive relationship with P score(r=0.144,P<0.05), IAD total score, compulsive symptoms, withdrawal symptoms, interpersonal relationship and health problems had positive relationship with N score (r=0.120～0.202,P<0.01) and it had negative relationship with L score (r=-0.226～-0.110,P<0.05). IAD total score, compulsive symptoms, withdrawal symptoms, tolerance symptoms, interpersonal relationship and health problems, and time management symptoms had positive relationship with automatic thoughts(r=0.176～0.246,P<0.01). IAD total score, compulsive symptoms, withdrawal symptoms, tolerance symptoms, interpersonal relationship and health problems, and time management symptoms had positive relationship with self-blame, fantasy, retreat, and rationalization of coping style(r=0.157～0.284,P<0.01). IAD total score, compulsive symptoms, withdrawal symptoms, tolerance symptoms, interpersonal relationship and health problems, and time management symptoms had negative relationship with PSSS(r=-0.255～-0.181,P<0.01). The dependent variable was CIAS score, independent variable were PSSS scores, automatic thoughts total score, problem solving, self-blame, help seeking, fantasy, retreat, rationalization, P,E, N, L score. Total score of PSSS, total score of automatic thoughts, help seeking, and retreat entered into the equation. The dependent variable was addiction(1=yes, 2=no), independent variable were sex, age, total score of PSSS, total score of automatic thoughts, problem solving, self-blame, help seeking, fantasy, retreat, rationalization, P,E, N, L score. Total score of PSSS, retreat, rationalization, and L score entered into the Logistic equation.Conclusions:1.There was 72.21% of Dalian junior middle school students used internet.
