The data was gained from a research population of adolescents aged 15–19 years attending secondary schools in Kosovo. The whole sample consists of 525 students, 310 (59%) of them were female, and 215 (41%) were male, respectively 214 (40.8%) were students attending the tenth grade, 189 (36%) were in the eleventh grade and 122 (23.2%) were in the twelfth grade. Data was collected via a survey with paper-pencil questionnaires from 6 different secondary schools from 4 different cities in Kosovo. Stratified and purposive sampling techniques were used. Research analy- ses were conducted with SPSS, using descriptive statistics and Spearman’s analysis, which aimed to examine the non-parametric relationship between dimensions of school attachment and internet addiction. The research instru- ment was verified to have all the necessary psychometric values considered suitable for research. Several descriptive statistical analyses were performed to further clarify the data and provide the necessary platform for further analysis.
