AB  - This cross-sectional study explored the impact of stress, social anxiety, and 
      social class on Internet addiction among adolescents. The subjects-1,634 middle 
      school students-were investigated using the Chinese Perceived Stress Scale 
      (CPSS), the Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents (SAS-A) Chinese Short Form, the 
      Chinese Internet Addiction Scale (CIAS), and the Questionnaire of Family 
      Social-economic Status. The results show that 12% of the adolescents investigated 
      showed signs of Internet addiction. With the increase of grade, the tendency of 
      Internet addiction and the number of addicts gradually increased. It also showed 
      that Internet addiction is positively correlated with stress and social anxiety 
      and negatively correlated with social class. Social anxiety partially mediates 
      the impact of stress on Internet addiction and social class indirectly influences 
      Internet addiction by moderating the relationship between stress and social 
      anxiety. In conclusion, there is a mediated-moderation effect between stress and 
      adolescent Internet addiction This means that adolescents from different social 
      classes have different types of anxiety when they feel the stress, which 
      influences their choices concerning internet use.
