There has been an increase in the prevalence of internet addiction among adolescents in recent years. It is known that self-control and self-regulation are adaptive factors and protective factors for various forms of behavior. However, there is little research in Indonesia that assesses and considers protective factors for adolescents from various negative behaviors. 122 high school students were involved in this research; the research location was in East Jakarta. The current research wants to examine the role of self-control in the relationship between self-regulation and internet addiction in middle school and high school adolescents. Mediation analysis is used in the current research, and the results of the mediation test show that self-control can be a factor that partially mediates the relationship between self-regulation and internet addiction, that good self-regulation and supported by high self-control can prevent adolescents from internet addiction. These findings provide important input for parents and schools to be able to provide interventions in the form of interventions to adolescents related to the importance of self-regulation and good self-control.
