Background & Aims: Internet addiction is a growing concern among adolescents, with potential negative consequences for academic performance, social development, and mental health.. The present study was conducted to investigating the relationship between conflict with parents and Internet addiction with the moderating role of coping styles and gender Materials & Methods: The research method was descriptive and correlational. The statistical population included all male and female students of the first and second secondary level in Kashan city in the academic year 2021-2022, of which 400 people were selected by available sampling method. Participants responded to Internet Addiction Questionnaires of Young (1996), Straus Conflict Strategies (1979), and Amir Khan's Coping Strategy Index (1990). Results: The results of data analysis using the hierarchical regression method showed that conflict with parents directly predicts Internet addiction. The moderating role of coping styles was confirmed for all three styles of social support, problem solving and avoidance. But regarding the moderating role of gender variable, the results showed that there is no significant difference between conflict with parents and excessive use of the Internet among adolescent boys and girls. Conclusion: According to the above results, it is necessary to design and implement appropriate programs to familiarize parents and children with generational differences, the type of constructive interaction with each other, and to create and maintain a positive relationship among family members.
