Recently, it is remarkable that internet addiction and big five-personality traits are closely related. In this framework, the aim of this research is to investigate relations between internet addiction and big five-personality traits. For this purpose, meta-analysis method was used in this research. In line with the aim of the research, 12 studies were included in the meta-analysis and 13 effect sizes were calculated from these researches. As a result of meta-analysis, it was found that all big five-personality traits had a meaningful relation with internet addiction.
