Abstract: To explore the relationship of trait anxiety, perceived stress, future time perspective and internet addiction, this research surveyed 530 students to find out the associations. The results showed as follows:(1) Perceived stress played a partial mediating role in the relationship between trait anxiety and internet addiction, which means trait anxiety had a direct effect on internet addiction and also indirectly effected internet addiction through perceived stress. (2) The mediating effect of perceived stress was moderated by future time perspective. The effect of perceived stress on internet addiction was in inverse proportion to future time perspective. College students' trait anxiety, perceived stress, future time perspective and internet addiction constructed a moderated mediating model.

Key words: trait anxiety, perceived stress, future time perspective, internet addiction, college students
