N2  - OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship among Internet addiction, life events, social support and aggression, and figure out the inner deep structure of the four variables. <br><br>METHOD: 363 undergraduates were selected via cluster sampling method. They were asked to fill out four questionnaires, including Chinese Internet Addiction Scales revision (CIAS-R), Adolescent Self-Rating Life Events Check List (ASLEC), Perceived social support scale (PSSS) and Aggression questionnaire (AQ). <br><br>RESULTS: (1) Aggression was positively correlated with Internet addiction and life events, negatively correlated with social support. Internet addiction was positively correlated with life events, negatively correlated with social support; (2) Internet addiction can positively predict aggression; (3) Life events and social support played multiple mediating roles between Internet addiction and aggression. <br><br>CONCLUSION: On the one hand Internet addiction directly affects undergraduates' aggression; on the other hand, Internet addiction affects undergraduates' aggression through the multiple mediating effects of life events and social support.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
