H[subscript 3]: Regarding the negative relationship between psychological endurance and internet addiction in adolescents, self-esteem has an intermediary function. In order to test the research model, data of 528 students among 540 students, 288 males and 240 females, from 9th, 10th and 11th grades were analyzed from public high school in Kadiköy district of Istanbul. The research is based on structural equation model. CFA analysis was performed with the software AMOS 21.0 and factor structures were analyzed. According to the results of SEM analysis, the students' perception of Family Support negatively affects the Self-Esteem level (B=-0.294, p<0.05) and the students' Peer Support perception negatively affects the Self Esteem (B=-0.259, p<0.05). The dimension which meets all three criteria of Baron and Kenny for intermediation test is the Determination to Struggle.
