      ab: This paper investigated the direct impact of internet addiction on the depression of university students. Literature has shown that excessive internet usage generates depression among university students. Data were analysed with correlation, regression, and structural equation modelling by using SPSS Amos. According to the correlation analysis, there is a direct link between internet addiction and depression among university students. Responses were obtained from 500 students aged 18-32 years, including 332 males (66%) and 168 females (33%). In this study, Siste's internet addiction, Frig Borg's psychological resilience, and Sharif's depression inventory were applied to the respondents. The general strain theory also suggested that excessive internet usage increases depression among students. As a result of hierarchal regression and structural equation modelling applied to determine the moderating role of psychological resilience, it was reported that psychological resilience unveiled a direct, insignificant effect in the relationship between internet addiction and depression in university students. According to the results, internet addiction was reported as a predictor of depression, but it does not seem that psychological resilience has a moderating impact.
