Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). For statistical analysis, Spss V. 22 and Lisrel 8.85 were used to classify, process and analyze the data and to investigate the hypotheses of the research.

Structural relations analysis also showed emotional dysregulation and compassion indirectly through Self-Esteem over Internet addiction respectively (0/73 و -0/126( and also the results also showed that the emotional dysregulation has a direct relation to Internet addiction (0/44).
