Abstract
The objective of the study was the comparative analysis of areas of Internet behavior (use of Internet, relations
and Internet Addiction) with regards to gender in seven years’ perspective. The study was conducted in two stages (2005
and 2012) among Polish students (N = 452). Results showed significant gender differences in the use of Internet. The use
of Internet is no longer predictor of Internet Addiction in both men and women. The higher number of contacts limited to
Internet was a predictor of Internet Addiction in both men and women, but lower self -esteem in women only. Men were
more prone to Internet Addiction in comparison with women and this tendency is on the rise.
