Results of stepwise regression analysis demonstrated that self-compassion and social support significantly explain 0.758 percent of variance in internet addiction (p<0.001). Additionally, the findings also showed that self-compassion, predicting 0.719 percent of internet addiction (p<0.001), is of more importance and power in this process. Among self-compassion components, mindfulness, self-judgment, and common humanity significantly predicted 0.711 percent of variance in internet addiction (p<0.001); among these component, mindfulness demonstrated the highest role in this process.
