Abstract
The researchers surveyed 539 middle school students in Seoul, South Korea(2005) to investigate the influence of the domestic violence experiences and internet addiction on aggressiveness in adolescents. The major findings were as follows : 1) the experiences of domestic violence as a victim or a bystander had a positive relationship with aggressiveness in adolescents, 2) both domestic violence experiences and internet addiction reinforced aggressiveness in adolescents, but the influence of the latter was stronger than that of the former, 3) The degrees of domestic violences and internet addiction in Korean adolescents far surpassed the world average. Therefore, this study proved the urgent need for the prevention and cure programs for Korean adolescents regarding domestic violence and internet addiction.
