Rapid growth and easy access to the Internet have facilitated its influence on the Indian way of life. A side from the numerous benefits of this now ubiquitous technological tool, the problem of over use and the resulting ‘Internet Addiction’ is becoming increasingly apparent. College students represent a particularly vulnerable group for problem Internet use. The present study investigated the relationship between problem Internet use and locus of control among college students. Effects indicated that a large proportion of students reported feelings of dissociation and symptoms of tolerance, withdrawal and escape. Moreover, frequent interpersonal and academic conflicts, and physical health-threatening risks related to problem Internet use were found. While men reported more Internet-related problems overall, women were more likely to attempt to cut back or stop their Internet use. A significant positive correlation between external locus of control and problem Internet use was found. Finally, men were seven times more likely to gamble online.
