Abstract	The aim of this study was to verify the dimensions of Internet addiction in Albanian. This study employed "Internet Addiction Scale for Adolescents" to determine internet addiction. The verification of language equivalence, the scale form was administered to 164 university students studying at AAB College Faculty of Psychology and 61 High School students studying at the British School of Kosovo (altogether 245). In addition, the Cronbach Alpha internal consistency coefficient was found to be 0.828. It was observed that the factor load values of the scale items varied between 0.56 and 0.72. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin coefficient (KMO) was 0.82 and the Bartlett x2 Sphericity value was 605,874 (p<0.000). In confirmatory factor analysis, it was seen that the one-dimensional structure of the scale provided a good fit. [x[superscript 2]=63.168, df=26, x2/df=2.42 RMSEA=0.077, RMR=0.069, S-RMR=0.049, GFI=0.95, AGFI=0.91, CFI=0.94, NNFI=0.90, IFI=0.94]. The findings obtained as a result of the validity factor analysis and the reliability of the scale show that the Albanian scale is valid and reliable. (As Provided).
