Abstract Objective To explore the effects of shyness on online game addiction of college students, and investigate the mediating effect of self-regulatory fatigue between them. Methods A total of 688 college students were investigated by shyness scale, self-regulating fatigue scale, and online game addiction questionnaire. Results The detection rate of online game addiction of college students was 12.06%. Shyness and self-regulatory fatigue were positively correlated withonline game addiction（r=0.21, P<0.01; r=0.24, P<0.01）. Self-regulatory fatigue played a mediating role betweenshyness and online game addiction（β=0.17, P<0.001）, and the direct and mediating effects were 77.78% and 22.22%. Conclusion Shyness not only directly affects online game addiction of college students, but also indirectly affects online game addiction through self-regulation fatigue. College students’ online game addiction can be alleviated by reducing shyness level and self-regulating fatigue.
