 Internet use patterns, generalized problematic internet use, and the latter’s relation to psychological distress were explored in a sample of 503 university students ( M age  = 20.25;  SD  = 2.75). A questionnaire about internet use patterns, the Generalized Problematic Internet Use Scale 2, and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales were answered. The students spent 5 hours online on a daily basis. The total generalized problematic internet use index score corresponded to a medium-risk level, with 12.9% of men and 5.0% of women presenting a high-risk level. Higher total generalized problematic internet use risk levels corresponded to higher levels of depression, anxiety and stress. Our results seem to show that university students constitute a particularly vulnerable group in terms of problematic internet use, supporting the relation between generalized problematic internet use and psychological distress. Keywords:  Internet use patterns; generalized problematic internet use; psychological distress; university students. Patrones de uso de internet, uso problematico generalizado de internet y su relacion con el distres psicologico en estudiantes universitarios portugueses Resumen : Se exploraron los patrones de uso de internet, el uso problematico generalizado de internet y su relacion con el distres psicologico en una muestra de 503 estudiantes universitarios ( M  = 20,25;  DT  = 2,75), usando la Escala de Uso de Internet Problematico Generalizado 2 y las Escalas de Depresion, Ansiedad y Estres. Los estudiantes pasan 5 horas diarias online.  El indice total de uso problematico generalizado de internet corresponde a un riesgo medio, con un 12,9% de los hombres y un 5,0% de las mujeres presentando un nivel de riesgo alto. Los niveles superiores de riesgo de uso problematico generalizado de internet correspondieron a niveles superiores de depresion, ansiedad y estres. Nuestros resultados parecen mostrar que los estudiantes universitarios constituyen un grupo particularmente vulnerable  en cuanto al uso de  internet y refuerzan la asociacion entre el uso problematico generalizado de Internet y distres psicologico. Palabras clave:  Patrones de uso de Internet; uso problematico generalizado de Internet; distres psicologico; estudiantes universitarios.
