隨著科技發達、網路使用率的提升，人們開始關注新科技使用的問題，網路成癮即是其中之一。回顧過去文獻，網路成癮者的情緒表現有較高的情緒敏感度、社交焦慮與較多的負向情緒反應，他們的這些情緒反應與神經質者的負向情緒特質類似；神經質者易表現出衝動的情緒表達以及缺乏意志的負向情緒表徵。許多研究認為神經質者可能有衝動負向情緒產生及控制彈性不當造成的困擾，而在現實人際互動中容易遭受拒絕、焦慮的情況，會轉而趨向網路這種匿名、自由的平台與他人互動及表達自己的想法。因此，具有社交焦慮、孤獨感傾向之神經質者，可能會利用網路科技匿名性高的因素，增加了在網路上親近感、信賴的感受，進而有更多的自我暴露、真實我的表達，去逃避現實生活社交所帶來的負向感受，進而造成網路成癮。本研究欲探討神經質者是否會透過網路人際感受造成網路成癮傾向之形成。
　　本研究透過中介分析的方式，顯示網路人際焦慮感受顯著為網路成癮各項分量表的顯著中介變項，本研究結果支持神經質人格者在現實生活中這種情緒不穩定的表現，可能使他們受到較多的負向回饋，因而轉向網路的使用，在網路相對自由表達與匿名性的特色背後，大大減少了正面受到負向批評的機會。如同先前研究所言，擁有這些特徵者會減少現實生活中與人互動的時間，轉而增加在網路上與認識新朋友、與他人互動的機會，進而增加成癮的可能性。

People with neurotic feature are more easily to perform over emotional which have low inhibition and less controllable on negative emotional expression. Internet give these people another choice to present themselves with more liberty and anonymous. People with neuroticism may face the impulsive emotional expression and are more likely to receive negative feedback from real social interpersonal communication. Thus, people with social anxiety and loneliness such as Neuroticism may use this anonymous, fabulous internet feature, to have more close and trust feelings, that might produce more self-disclosure and real-me expression. Using internet seems to increase closer relationship for those who tended to addicted to cyber use. Due to this effect, people may tend to disclose more online instead in their real life. In their real life, the problem of inter-personal relationship still remains and influence their social interaction. Our result shows neuroticism is related to online interpersonal anxiety which is the mediator of neuroticism predict internet addiction.. As shows, these features may improve the online relationship, and might increase the possibility to have internet addiction.
