As one of many studies about media dependency theory, this study sought to determine whether or not the Internet has powerful cognitive, affective, and behavioral effects under certain conditions, which were, except for the Internet, foreign students in the United States could hardly get information about their country. In order to examine this study, media dependency theory provided a valuable theoretical framework. Previous dependency studies have focused primarily on media dependency phenomenon on under certain circumstances of natural disasters. This study investigated media dependency as a naturally occurring phenomenon under the conditions present in the normal lives of international students. As a result. there were three main findings. First. due to a lack of functional alternatives, international students showed significant media dependency on the Internet. which is available sources of information. Second. international students" perceptions such as national identity and information needs were significant predictors for media dependency on the Internet. Third, this Internet media dependency caused international students" cognitive and behavioral effects. such as agenda setting and frequencies of discussion of Internet messages. The findings of this study were mainly consistent with past media dependency studies. That is, the more students conceived national identity and information needs. the stronger media dependency they have. Additionally. those who had stronger Internet dependency had greater cognitive and behavioral effects than those who had weaker Internet dependency. Also. the finding of this study showed that media dependency differs from mere exposure to media use.
