This study aimed to examine the influence of a weight loss reality show watching on viewers' psychology and viewing effects by explicitly focusing on the Chinese TV show, Wow! Nice Figure (2019). Chinese women who had experience viewing Chinese TV show, Wow! Nice Figure and an experience of weight loss were the subject of the current study. The data collected from a total of 201 Chinese women were examined. Six variables; age, monthly income, occupation, education, BMI(Body Mass Index), and weight loss experience were included as control variables, and the data were analyzed with the use of SPSS 20.0. The results revealed that both simple and social viewing had been found to impact viewers' psychological attitudes positively. However, it was supported that simple and social viewing does not directly affect viewing satisfaction. Furthermore, the mediated effect of psychological variables within the relationship between simple viewing and viewing satisfaction and the relationship between social viewing and viewing satisfaction was investigated. From this study's results, the enhanced understanding of the impact of simple viewing, social viewing, and viewer's psychology on viewing satisfaction could be discussed.

유해 정보의 무분별한 유포, 폭력물의 과다 노출, 인터넷 과다사용 등의 문제가 점점 사회적 갈등의 한 축으로 자리하고 있고 또한 그 피해와 문제의 심각성이 점점 더 낮은 연령층으로 확대되고 있다. 미디어가 처음 등장했을 때만 해도 우리는 미디어의 교육적 활용에 무한한 기대를 걸었다. 그러나 지금의 미디어는 교육적인 측면에서 가장 유해할 수 있는 환경으로 주목받고 있는 것이다. 미디어 교육은 미디어의 긍정적 기능을 보다 적극적으로 발휘하기 위한 수용 제작 활용교육과 부정적 기능을 최소화하기 위한 보호적 예방교육의 두 가지 형태로 진행할 수 있다고 한다. 여기서 주목해야 할 점이 긍정적 기능과 부정적 기능을 병행한 교육이라는 점이다. 따라서 본 논문은 미디어의 부정적 기능과 긍정적 기능에 관심을 가지고 초등학교에서 적용 가능한 미디어 교육프로그램을 제안해 보고자 한다.

The information society based on Internet has positive effects to provide us with abundance and comfort as well as enhancement of quality of life. But it also has negative effects which bring about more serious social problems than real life. These negative effects of the cyber space are especially critical to elementary school students who do not have good judgment capability and clear concept on cyber space. To solve these problems, we have to let them have ethical sense to respond to the dysfunctions of Internet. We need to enforce Internet ethics education at home and in school so that they can behave as responsible and moral behaviors in this information society. Because the most of the elementary school students usually use Internet at home, the role of their parents can be particularly important factor in Internet ethics education. The purpose of this paper was to identify the current status of the consciousness on Internet ethics of the elementary school students who are the creators of new culture on Internet and their parents who make great influence on their education, and to study what influence the consciousness on the Internet ethics of parents has made on the Internet usage of their children. Through this study, we try to provide the desirable direction for Internet ethics of elementary school students.

The market size of online games has been rapidly growing as well as the behaviors of online gaming users have been changed. Online games are different from the traditional video games, because they permit players to interact each other during playing games. Today online gaming is a part of everyday life and social interaction has an impact on online gaming behaviors. Social interaction does not only have a positive impact on online game behaviors, but it also has a negative impact on them such as excessive online game usage. Previous research has a limitation to consider social interaction as a comprehensive concept. In order to fill the gap, we explore the factors of social interaction influencing on excessive online game usage. After reviewing previous literature, this study chooses three factors of social interaction such as escaping loneliness, expanding online social bridging capital, and reinforcing offline social bonding capital. The findings show that all of three factors of social interaction positively affect the excessive online game usage.

In all subjects, there were significant differences in anxiety, depression, internet self-efficacy and outcome expectancy, leisure style, places of internet use, internet connecting method, and insight on internee addiction. But, in addicted group, there was no significant difference among three areas. Conclusion: This study suggested that the difference in economic, cultural, and geographic state was not related to prevalence of internet addiction. Although there were significant differences in anxiety, depression, self-efficacy associated with internee use, leisure style, places of internet use, internet connecting method, insight on internet addiction among three areas, there were no significant difference in addicted group among three areas. So, we concluded that the difference in economic, cultural, and geographic state did not influence the prevalence of internet addiction, and despite the difference in economic, cultural, and geographic state, people in three areas were equally influenced by internet addiction.
