As a result, 25.3% among the sample answered that they had used verbal or physical violence towards their parents at least one time during the previous year. The group of abused by parents and the observing marital violence/abused by parents group were related to violence towards their parents significantly. On the verification of the effect of internet addiction as the mediator, the internet addiction variable revealed possessing the partial mediating effect in the abused by parents group and the observing marital violence/abused by parents group. It can be concluded that domestic violence experience influenced adolescents' violence towards their parents directly and also indirectly through the internet addiction.
