Abstract
This study analyzed social development and self-efficacy in use of internet in adolescents. Subjects were 510 7th, 8th, 10th, and 11th grade students in Daegu. Instruments were the modified Activities Questionnaire for Students (Heitner & Erica, 2(02), the Personality Inventory for Youth (Heitner & Erica, 2002) and the Self-Efficacy Scale (Song, 1998). Findings were that (1) male students use more synchronous (multi-game) but female students use more asynchronous (e-mail) and asocial (web-surfing) internet activity. (2) Synchronous social internet (multi-game) users were more social and more efficient than asynchronous (e-mail) and asocial (web-surfing) internet users.
