The purpose of this study was to examine problematic internet use in terms of self-injurious behavior and risktaking
behavior. This study was performed with 736 high school students, 328 females and 408 males studying at
various high schools in Trabzon (in Turkey). The Problematic Internet Use Scale was used to measure students'
problematic internet use levels, the inventory of statements about self injury to measure self-injurious behavior
and the Adolescent Risk-Taking Questionnaire to measure risk-taking behavior. According to the results of the
study, a positive and significant relationship was found between risk-taking behavior and problematic internet
use (r = .39, p b 0.01), and it was determined that self-injurious behavior and risk-taking behavior significantly
predict problematic internet use (F = 86.94, p b 0.01). Furthermore, it was found that problematic internet use
displays variation according to self-injurious behavior (F(1, 732) = 32.32, p b 0.01). The findings have been
discussed in relation to the existing literature.
