Abstract: This study uses unconstrainted structural equation model to explore the interactive effects of adolescents' extraversion/agreeableness and internet service preference on internet addiction, by surveying a sample of 481 adolescents through questionnaires. The results indicate that the interactive effects of adolescents' agreeableness and internet social service preference are significant, but recreational, information and business service preference are not significant. Interactive effects of extraversion and internet service preference are not significant.(1) On average effect, adolescents' extraversion, agreeableness, internet social, recreational, and business service preference have positive effects on internet addiction, and internet information service preference has no significant effect on internet addiction;(2) For adolescents high in agreeableness, the relationship between internet social service preference and internet addiction are stronger than adolescents low in conscientiousness.

Key words: adolescents, internet addiction, extraversion, agreeableness, internet service preference, interactive effects
