Data which were collected using Internet Addiction Test (IAT) and Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20) tools from 984 randomly sampled tertiary education students in Malawi is described in this paper. The questionnaires were designed on Google forms, but both online and printed forms were employed to enhance response rate. Stored in Mendeley data repository, the data set includes basic demographic information about study participants, frequency of internet and social media use, and transformed variables linked to cases of common mental disorder. Although the data was primarily collected to assess the link between internet addiction and mental health among college students in Malawi, it is a potential source for the several psychometric studies. Moreover, the presented SRQ-20 data should also be useful for measuring anxiety and studying psychiatric symptoms and personality type among the college students. The study design, materials and methods used when collecting this data may also be replicated in other related psychological research studies in the educational field.
