We recruited 323 participants via Amazon Mechanical Turk, a crowdsourcing platform that can be used for survey research. We gave participants the Internet Addiction Test, the Life Events Checklist, the Ego Function Assessment questionnaire, and a demographic questionnaire. Our results indicate that 41.5% reported no internet addiction, with the majority of our sample reporting behaviors that were consistent with internet addiction: mild internet addiction = 37.8%, moderate internet addiction = 19.8%, and severe internet addiction = 0.9%. The constrictive factor of ego functioning was significantly worse in those with internet addiction. Path analysis showed that the constrictive factor of ego functioning partially mediated the relationship between a self-reported history of trauma and the presence of self-reported internet addiction. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1521\/pdps.2024.52.2.218","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,3]],"date-time":"2024-06-03T14:00:43Z","timestamp":1717423243000},"page":"218-236","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Ego Function Assessment and Internet Addiction"],"prefix":"10.1521","volume":"52","author":[{"given":"William H.","family":"Gottdiener","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"John Jay College of Criminal Justice of the City University of New York"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Brittany","family":"Cabanas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Northeast Psychological Wellness"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kim","family":"Love","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"K.
