چکیده English

Depression is a common psychological disorder in adolescents. This study investigated the role of Internet addiction on depression mediated by social isolation in high school students in Jahrom.
Method: The present study was a correlational study that was conducted on 200 students (100 girls and 100 boys) with an average age of 16 years. Sampling was done using a multistage cluster method. Research tools included Young's Internet Addiction, Beck Depression, and Social Isolation Questionnaires. Data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient and regression.
Findings: The results showed that Internet addiction is a significant predictor of depression and social isolation. Social isolation was also a strong predictor of depression. These two variables explained a total of 25% of the variance in depression. The mediating role of social isolation in the relationship between Internet addiction and depression was confirmed.
Conclusion: The findings indicate that Internet addiction and social isolation are factors affecting adolescent depression. These results emphasize the need for educational interventions to manage Internet use and improve social relationships.
