Abstract

This study examined how much Korean male middle school students used YouTube to determine if the social support from parents, teachers, and friends might moderate the relationships between YouTube overuse and internalizing and externalizing problems. Three hundred and twenty male middle school students completed questionnaires asking about their YouTube use, levels of YouTube addiction, internalizing and externalizing behaviors, and the degree of social support from parents, teachers, and friends. The results indicated that the YouTube addiction was positively related to the levels of internalizing and externalizing problems. Parental support moderated the relationships between YouTube addiction and internalizing problems. On the other hand, the moderating effects of teachers' or friends' supports were not significant. In contrast, teachers' support was the most crucial moderating factor regarding externalizing problems, while parental and friends' supports were only related to delinquency but not to aggression. These results suggest that the role of parental or teacher supports should be unique depending on the types of problem behaviors. Furthermore, the 'protective effects' of social support were not found in the highly addicted group, suggesting that the early prevention of YouTube overuse is a crucial intervention.

본 연구는 중학교 남학생의 유튜브 이용실태와 과도한 유튜브 이용이 그들의 내재화 문제 및 외현화 문제에 어떠한 영향을 미치는 지를 확인하고, 사회적 지지가 조절효과를 보이는지를 알아보기 위해 실시되었다. 중학교에 재학하고 있는 남학생 320명을 대상으로 유튜브 이용도, 유튜브 중독정도, 내재화 및 외현화 문제행동 척도, 그리고 부모, 교사, 친구의 지지도를 조사하였다. 연구 결과, 유튜브 중독정도가 높을수록 내재화 및 외현화 문제행동이 높은 편이었다. 내재화 문제의 경우 부모의 지지는 사회적 위축과 우울 모두에 있어 조절효과가 발견되었다. 하지만 교사의 지지와 친구의 지지는 조절효과가 발견되지 않았다. 반면 외현화 문제에 있어서는 교사의 지지가 비행과 공격행동 모두에 있어 조절변인으로 기능하였다. 부모 및 친구의 지지는 오직 비행행동에 대해서만 조절효과가 있었다. 본 연구의 결과는 유튜브 중독을 조절하는 사회적 지지의 효과가 부모인지 교사인지에 따라 다른 영향력이 있음을 시사한다. 또한 사회적지지 수준이 높다고 하더라도 유튜브 중독이 높은 경우에는 보호효과가 발견되지 않았는데, 이는 유튜브중독이 심각해지기 이전에 조기에 개입할 필요성이 있음을 시사하였다.
