According to the results, the students were characterized by moderate levels of internet addiction, average levels of aggressiveness and it was determined that the correlation coefficient between both variables was 0.643 with a p-value lower than the significance level (p<0.05). It was concluded that there is a direct and statistically significant relationship between internet addiction and aggressiveness.

Durante los últimos años el internet se ha posicionado como una herramienta útil, funcional y necesaria para que los estudiantes desarrollen principalmente sus actividades académicas y sociales. Sin embargo, su uso inadecuado y desmedido podría provocar problemas físicos y psicológicos en los estudiantes, repercutiendo en su calidad de vida. Por ello, la presente investigación tuvo como objetivo determinar la relación que existe entre la adicción a internet y la agresividad de los estudiantes del nivel de educación secundaria de una institución educativa pública de Madre de Dios, Perú. La investigación tuvo un enfoque cuantitativo, un diseño experimental y fue de tipo correlacional. La muestra estuvo conformada por 170 estudiantes a quienes se les aplicó la Escala de la Adicción a Internet de Lima y el Cuestionario de Agresión, instrumentos con niveles adecuados de validez y confiabilidad. De acuerdo a los resultados, los estudiantes se caracterizaron por presentar moderados niveles de adicción al internet, niveles medios de agresividad y se determinó que el coeficiente de correlación entre ambas variables fue de 0,643 con un p-valor inferior al nivel de significancia (p<0,05). Se concluyó que existe una relación directa y estadísticamente significativa entre la adicción a internet y la agresividad.
