Abstract
The purpose of this study uses a structural equation model to investigate the relationships between impulsivity, internalizing - externalizing behavior problems, internet addiction, and mobile phone addiction in adolescents. We investigated whether internalizing - externalizing behavior problems plays a mediating role in the relationship between impulsivity and mobile phone addiction/internet addiction. Survey responses of 433 middle school students in Seoul areas were analyzed for this study. The findings of this study are as follows: (1) The "research model" in this study was found suitable, and was selected as a final model. Structural equation modeling analyses indicated that impulsivity influenced internet addiction and mobile phone addiction, and externalizing behavior problems showed a significant effect on mobile phone addiction. In addition, impulsivity had a significant effect on internalizing - externalizing behavior problems. (2) Externalizing behavior problems was a mediator in the relationship between impulsivity and mobile phone addiction. Lastly, the meanings and implications of this research to counseling strategies and education were suggested in this research.
