The purpose of this research was to investigate the role of the psychological needs of students in Internet addiction through the mediation of coping styles. The method of research was a descriptive correlation, which was done by the structural equation modeling method. The statistical population of the research included all undergraduate students of Islamic Azad University, Garmsar branch in the academic year 2018-2019, numbering 718 people, of which 250 people were selected by the available sampling method. Internet Addiction Questionnaire (IAQ) by Young (1996), Lazarus Coping Strategies (WCQ) (1980), and Desi and Ryan's Psychological Needs (PNQ) (2000) were used to collect data. To analyze the data, structural equation modeling was used. The results showed that the direct effect of psychological needs on Internet addiction was significant (p<0.001). On the other hand, the indirect effect of psychological needs with the mediation of coping styles on Internet addiction was significant (p<0.001). The goodness of fit indices also indicated the appropriate fit of the model. Based on the findings of this research, it can be concluded that psychological needs through the mediation of coping styles can explain internet addiction in students.
