Abstract: This paper investigated 589 middle school students aged from 12 to 18, exploring the relationship between coping styles and Pathological Internet use (PIU) of middle school students through questionnaires. The findings indicated that diverse coping styles, especially that of problem-solving, abreaction and fantasy, changed with PIU. Furthermore, the curve of problem-solving would ascent with descent of the score of PIU, and the curve of fantasy and abreaction would drop with descent of the score of PIU. It demonstrated that the increase of problem solving, diminution of fantasy, and abreaction may predict positive Internet use’s effect on middle school students

Key words: middle school students, coping styles, Internet use
