가정은 인간의 출생과 더불어 최초로 소속되어지는 공동체이며 최초의 교육의 장이다. 인간의 성장 발달에 있어서 초기 환경이 중요한데 여러 환경요인 중에서도 개인의 행동을 형성하는데 있어서 가장 중요한 환경이라고 볼 수 있는 것이 가정환경이라 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 가족의 형태에 따른 인터넷 중독, 대인관계 그리고 부적응 행동 간의 관계를 실증적으로 분석하였으며, 특히 가족의 형태와 인터넷 중독간의 관계에서 대인관계와 부적응 행동이 매개효과를 가지는지에 대하여도 실증적 분석을 하였다. 회귀분석 결과 가족의 형태에 따른 인터넷 중독은 부(-)의 관계로 유의한 것으로 검증되었다. 대인관계에서는 가족의 형태가 정(+)의 관계로 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 반면에 부적응 행동은 인터넷 중독과 같이 가족의 형태와 부(-)의 관계가 있음이 나타났다. 즉, 대인관계나 부적응행동을 통해서 인터넷 중독에 영향을 미치는 매개효과에 대해서도 검증되었다. 그 결과 대인관계와 부적응 행동요인이 가족형태와 인터넷 중독 사이의 매개변수의 역할을 수행한다는 결론을 얻었다.
