Students’ psychological well-being is an important aspect that determines their academic and social success. On the other hand, the Internet has become an essential medium for helping students achieve well-being in the campus environment. However, excessive Internet use actually has adverse effects on students’ mental health. This study aims to understand the role of compulsive Internet use, attitudes and the availability of university health services in shaping psychological well-being. This study uses a cross-sectional approach method with a total of 1055 (491 male, 636 female, MD = 20,3, SD = 1,4, r = 17–28) students participating in this study. Respondents filled out a scale to obtain data on psychological well-being, compulsive Internet use, mental help-seeking attitude, and several sociodemographic and campus related variables, which were to be analyzed using a classification tree. This study found that consecutively, compulsive Internet use plays important roles in shaping students’ psychological well-being. The role of attitude toward mental health service is discussed further. © Aulia F., Utami R.H., Magistarina E., Kurniawan R., Mashuri M.F., 2026.
