This study examined the mediation effects of covert narcissism on the relationship between game addiction and aggression. For this study, 578 middle school boys in Chungcheong areas were included in the analysis. The results are as follows. First, correlation analyses showed that game addiction was positively correlated with covert narcissism and aggression. In addition, covert narcissism showed positive correlation with aggression. Second, step-wise regression analyses were conducted to examine the relative size that sub-factors of game addiction and covert narcissism explained aggression. It could be known that three factors of game addiction(tolerance, disregard of everyday life, damage of control) and two factors of covert narcissism(exploitation/self-centeredness, oversensitivity/vulnerability) showed significant explanatory power for aggression. Third, the Structural Equation Model was designed in which factors of game addiction and covert narcissism with significant explanatory power for aggression were included. Covert narcissism was found to partially mediate the influence of the boys' game addiction on aggression. Finally implications of this study and directions for future research were discussed.

The purpose of this study is to explore the mediation effects of deficiency on executive function for male adolescents' game addiction and aggression. For this study, 120 male high school students in Chungnam areas were included in the analysis. The results showed that game addiction showed significant correlations with both deficiency on executive function and aggression. Adolescents addicted to games tended to exhibit higher aggression and more deficiency on executive function than adolescents without game addiction. Deficiency on executive function (mediator) partially mediated the influence of the adolescents' game addiction (independent variable) on aggression (dependent variable). Based on these results, it was suggested that self-instructional training would be helpful for game-addicted adolescents to enhance self-control. Finally, limitations of this study and suggestions for future research were discussed.

The purpose of this study was to find out the relations between elementary children's game addition, aggression, and personality, by making a survey with 360 children of 5th and 6th grade in the Metropolitan are. The results were made as follows: First, as it examined the real condition of computer addition, it presented a low level of addiction. There was a meaningful difference according to their gender, however no meaningful differences were found between the grades. It found that the more they had game experience, game frequency, game concentration, the more they were addicted. Second, there were significant differences when investigated the relations of game addiction and aggression, students who were in severe addicted group showed more aggressive attitudes. Aggression in general, seemed less related to the gender, but related to the level of addiction, showing higher level of physical, linguistic, negative, indirect aggression in the more addicted group. Third, when it compared the difference between the general personality by the level of game addiction, there was a meaningful difference statistically in the addicted level of p<0.01. In detail, more addicted children showed low level of sociality, achievement, mobility, stability, and they showed lower figures in comparison with normal user group. It is interpreted that they dislike to get along with friends, and unstable emotionally.

This study was conducted to verify the mediation model of private self-consciousness on game addiction and aggression. Data from 439 boys were included in the analysis. The results are as follows. First, correlation analyses revealed that game addiction was positively correlated with aggression and private self-consciousness. Private self-consciousness was also positively correlated with aggression. Considering two factors of private self-consciousness, game addiction showed a significant positive correlation only with self-reflectiveness factor. Although two factors of private self-consciousness showed positive correlations with game addiction, regression analyses revealed that self-reflectiveness was the significant predictor of aggression. Second, the structural equation analyses showed that private self-consciousness, especially self-reflectiveness was found to partially mediate the influence of game addiction on aggression. Finally, limitations of this study and suggestions for further study were discussed.
