Abstract Introduction: Internet use has accelerated dramatically over the last two decades and has become central to how young people study, socialize and entertain themselves. In particular, students in higher education who depend on online resources for academic materials, peer interaction, and professional networking
have integrated internet use into nearly every dimension of daily life. With increasing time spent online, concern has grown about patterns of excessive use that produce impairment in daily functioning, a phenomenon frequently referred to as Internet Addiction.
Aim: To examine the correlation between Internet Addiction (IAT) and assertiveness in physiotherapy students.
Result: Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated to explore relationships between Internet Addiction scores, Assertiveness scores, and Age. Statistical significance was accepted at p < 0.05.
Conclusion: The present study found a strong positive correlation between Internet Addiction and Assertiveness among physiotherapy students, indicating that increased internet use was associated with higher assertiveness scores. This suggests that, in an academic and professional context, the internet may
serve as a tool for learning and confidence-building rather than only as a source of distraction or dependence.
