  ABSTRACT: This paper aims to enrich the public understanding of multiple factors that lead to Internet addiction by investigating the impact of Internet Addiction on the well-being of university students, with a particular focus on the roles of parental strain, study strain, and self-identity. The research framework is grounded in the Conservation of Resources (COR) theory. A sample of 74 university students from Hong Kong was analyzed to test the proposed model. The findings indicate that both parental strain and study strain are positively associated with Internet Addiction. Moreover, parental strain was found to have a significant negative correlation with students’ well-being, and resources can significantly predict well-being. These results underscore the complex interplay between parental strain, study strain, Internet Addiction, and the well-being of university students.
