Abstract: This study examines the interactive influence of impulsive personality and parent-adolescent communication on adolescents' Internet addiction through a questionnaire survey on 1610 students from Grade seven to twelve. The results show that: (1) Compared to non-addicts, Internet addicted adolescents have significant motor impulsiveness and non-planning impulsiveness, but worse communication with their father and mother; (2) there is significant positive correlation between three types of impulsiveness (motor, non-planning and attentional impulsiveness) and adolescents' Internet addiction, and significant negative correlation between mother-adolescent/father-adolescent communication and adolescents' Internet addiction; (3) motor impulsiveness and non-planning impulsiveness can positively predict adolescents' Internet addiction, while attentional impulsiveness can't; mother-adolescent communication can negatively predict adolescents' Internet addiction, while father-adolescent communication can't; (4) motor impulsiveness and mother-adolescent communication have interactive influence on adolescents' Internet addiction: for individuals with lower motor impulsiveness, mother-adolescent communication can negatively predict their Internet addiction significantly; for individuals with higher motor impulsiveness, mother-adolescent communication has the trend to positively predict their Internet addiction, but not significantly.

Key words: adolescent, impulsiveness, parent-adolescent communication, Internet addiction
