The present study was conducted to present a prediction model of Internet addiction based on the brain-behavioral system with the mediation of cognitive flexibility in adolescents. The present study was a descriptive-correlation type of structural equation modeling. The statistical population of the present study consisted of all the male and female students of the second secondary level of Ashtian City in the academic year 2021-2022, of which 250 were selected using the available sampling method. Data were collected from Dennis et al's Cognitive Flexibility Questionnaire (2010) (CFI), Young's Internet Addiction Test (IAT) (1998), and Carver and White's Brain Behavioral System Scale (1994) (BIS/BAS). The obtained data were analyzed through correlation tests and structural equation modeling software. The results showed that there is a negative and significant relationship between the behavioral activation system and cognitive flexibility with Internet addiction (P<0.01). There is a positive and significant relationship between the behavioral inhibition system and cognitive flexibility with Internet addiction. has (P>0.01). Also, the modified model had a favorable fit. That is, the research model can explain the relationship between the variables. Also, the results indicated the confirmation of the mediating role of cognitive flexibility in the relationship between brain behavioral systems and Internet addiction in adolescents. P<0.01). By applying programs and interventions to increase cognitive flexibility, the tendency to become addicted to the Internet can be reduced.
