Objective：This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between Internet addiction and psychopathology with the middle school students in Jeju. Methods：Subjects of the study were 674 first grade students in a boy’s middle school in Jeju. We evaluated them with Internet Addiction Scale (IAS), and Minnessota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI). Results：In IAS, the number of students within the range of Internet overuse was 10 (1.5%) and the number of students within the range of Internet addiction was 89 (13.1%). The scores of the subscales of depression, schizophrenia, antisocial, hypomania and paranoia in MMPI showed statistically significant correlation with the subgroups of IAS. The score of antisocial subscale was higher in the Internet overuse group than in the non-addicted group. The Internet overuse group showed the highest scores of the subscales of schizophrenia, and paranoia followed by the Internet addicted group and the non-addicted group in order. The score of the subscale of hypomania was higher in the Internet addicted group than in the non-addicted group. 38 students (38.3%) among the 99 students above the range of Internet overuse showed scores of clinical range in the any subscale of MMPI. The most frequent subscale in clinical range was paranoia, hypomania, and antisocial in order of occurrence. Type 6/6-9/9-6 was most frequent MMPI profile type. Conclusion：These results support the need for a school mental health program to prevent and intervene in Internet addiction and mental health problems during the early middle school period.
