인터넷 이용률이 급속하게 증가하면서 사회적 문제로 중독증이나 사이버 범죄와 같은 점보화의 역기능이 사회전반에 걸쳐 확산되었다. 특히 청소년들의 인터넷 중독이 심각한 사회적 문제로 대두됨에 따라 도시지역 청소년에 대한 인터넷 중독관련 연구는 다양하게 이루어지고 있으나, 농어촌 청소년에 대한 연구는 거의 없는 상태이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 영광지역의 고등학생 400명을 대상으로 인터넷 이용실태에 대한 설문조사와 김현수(2000)가 번안한 Young의 인터넷 중독 검사지를 이용하여 인터넷 중독 설문조사를 하였다. 연구결과 평균사용자는 44.2%, 초기 중독사용자 53.16%, 심각한 중독사용자 2.7%로 나타났으며, 학년별 초기 인터넷 중독 성향을 보면 1학년 52.9%, 2학년 66.3%, 3학년 50%의 비율을 보이고 있고, 인터넷을 이용한 모든 활동을 보면 온라인게임, 정보검색, mp3파일 다운로드, 동호회 활동등의 순으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 초기 중독자와 심각한 중독을 합하여 중독경향 군으로 통합하였다. 따라서 55.8%에 해당하는 학생이 인터넷 중독에 빠질 수 있는 가능성이 있다고 볼 수 있다. 이러한 상황임에도 학교현장에서는 전혀 인터넷 중독에 대한 교육이 이루어지지 않고 있어, 이들에 대한 지속적인 교육이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

본 연구는 청소년의 인터넷 중독에 대한 문제를 이해하기 위한 새로운 접근방법을 소개하고 있다. 기존 연구의 대부분은 인터넷과 온라인 게임 자체에 집중하여 청소년의 행동을 조절하기 위한 제도적, 기술적 방법을 소개하였다. 이러한 접근방법은 본질적인 청소년 사이버 문화에 대한 이해가 결여되어 단기적인 성과는 거둘 수 있지만 장기적이고 거시적인 관점에서 문제를 해소하기에는 제한적이다. 본 연구에서는 청소년의 정체성 성립과정과 자극과 반응 모델, 관계질서 모델 등을 통하여 본질적인 인터넷 중독 해소를 위한 접근방법을 제안하고자 한다. 본 연구의 결과물은 향후 지속될 실증적 연구에 토대가 될 것이며 청소년의 인터넷 중독 예방 활동을 위한 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
