This research was conducted to investigate the role of social anhedonia in predicting internet addiction with the moderating role of personality traits of extraversion and introversion in students. The present research method was descriptive correlational. The statistical population of the study was Shiraz University students in the academic year 2021-2022, from whom 340 people were selected by the available sampling method. The research questionnaires included Yang’s Internet Addiction Test (IAT, 1998), the Anticipatory and Consummatory Interpersonal Pleasure Scale  (ACIPS, 2011), and the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ, 1985). The relationships between variables were tested by linear regression analysis and the research model was tested by structural equation modeling technique. The results showed that social anhedonia could explain 19% of the variance of internet addiction in students. The results of structural equation modeling also showed that extraversion and introversion personality traits had a moderating role in the relationship between social anhedonia and internet addiction (p<0.01). Finally, these results showed that social anhedonia can predict internet addiction in students, and extraversion and introversion personality traits play a moderating role in the relationship between these two variables.

Attention to emotions is one of the basic components in the field of psychopathology and with clarity of emotion make a wider frame work of emotion awareness. Attention to emotions shows the measure of the person’s concern and control on his emotions is made of two sub scales including involuntary and voluntary attention to emotions. This scale is designed to reach the goal of measuring this event. And its psychometric feature is confirmed in non-Iranian population. But it hasn’t been investigated in Iranian population yet.The aim of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of this scale in the Iranian population. In this study 263 people answered the questionnaire that includes attention to emotion scale, Pennsylvania scale, depression, anxiety and stress scale, and positive and negative emotions with the method of available sampling. Finally, the result data was analyzed using Cronbach’s alpha statistical analysis, confirmatory facts analysis and Pearson correlation test. The final amount in the questionnaire using Cronbach’s alpha was:0/752. In addition to check the structure of the questionnaire by confirmatory factor analysis was used and the result of the study shows a desirable suitability of parameters. (RMSEA = 0/055, CFI = 0/925, GFI = 0/928, CMIN/DF= 1/777). This questionnaire like the English version contains a desirable psychometric parameter including two factors: involuntary and Voluntary attention to emotions in Iranian population. It just needs to eliminate one item (item 9 because of lacking significance difference) and it can be used as a reliable tool for the future research.
