The paper examined the resilience, shyness and loneliness as predictors of internet addiction among university undergraduate students in Benue State. An ex post facto design was adopted. A total of 473 undergraduate students were purposively selected from two universities within Makurdi Benue State, Nigeria, to participate in the study. Simple regression analysis revealed that resilience negatively predicted internet addiction while shyness and loneliness positively predicted internet addiction. However, emotional aspect of loneliness was found to negatively predict internet addiction while social aspect of loneliness positively predicts internet addiction. It was concluded based on the results of the study that resilience, shyness and loneliness significantly predict internet addiction. Based on the findings, it was recommended that psychological counselling services can be provided for undergraduate students who have higher levels of internet addiction. Further, more comprehensive studies can be carried out to examine the relation between internet addiction and such variables like resilience, shyness and loneliness.
