This study aimed to examine how gender and regional differences affect the relationships between SNS use and social capital. By analyzing a large set of data from Korean teenagers, significant roles of gender and regional differences could be found. In regards to gender difference, the most notable finding was the negative effects of SNS use on bonding and bridging social capital among male teenagers. Furthermore, it was found that such negative effects of SNS use were significant particularly among urban teenagers. These findings theoretically contribute to broadening the understanding of the relationships between SNS use and social capital.

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.

RPG장르를 기준으로 15세 이용가 게임인 리니지2와 청소년 이용 불가 게임인 아이온을 선정하여 게임간의 평균 이벤트 기간의 차이를 조사, 분석한 결과, 두 게임간의 평균 이벤트 기간은 리니지2가 47일이고 아이온이 54일로 다소 차이는 있으나, 양측검정 결과를 보면 P값이 0.794(P>0.05)로 두 게임간의 평균 이벤트 기간은 차이가 없음을 알 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 전체이용가와 청소년이용불가 게임을 선정하여 게임간의 평균 이벤트 기간의 차이를 연구하였다.

The purpose of this study was to identify the status of adolescents' user satisfaction with the 22 libraries of Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education and to improve the quality of information services for adolescents by improving the factors of dissatisfaction, and ultimately, to activate the use of young adults in the libraries of the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education. In addition, in the transition to the digital age, it was attempted to investigate the use of Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education Digital Library in the context of the inevitable change of reading media. Through this, this study suggested planning a reading program that could arouse adolescents' interest and reflect new information technologies, improving the scope and system of e-book services, linking with school libraries, and restructuring library' space.

One of the most popular keywords in 21th century is "Information Society". Information Society improves the overall quality of human life, but increases the negative aspects such as internet addiction and digital divide. The purpose of this study is to understand the vicious cycle between socio-economic disparities and digital divide. This study analyzed the effects of poverty on school maladjustment and academic achievement and mediation effects by using parental monitoring and internet use types as mediators. Data were obtained from the Korea Youth Panel Survey(KYPS). Structural equation modeling was employed for statistical analyses. The result showed that poverty reduced parental monitoring and information-oriented type of internet use. Youth who used less information-oriented type showed more school maladjustment and less academic achievement. However, the relationship between poverty and entertainment-oriented type was non-significant. Thus, parental monitoring and the internet use types were one of the main pathways which can affect school maladjustment and academic achievement among youth in poverty. There was the possible vicious cycle between poverty and digital divide. Based on this study, we strongly suggest improvement of the media competence to solve the problem of digital divide among youth in poverty.

This study investigated the current tendency of the middle school student's use of the food and nutrition information from the internet web site. The research employed web survey for the national middle school students. Middle school students usually searched the internet information to do homework and to solve the own curiosity. Forty percent of respondents had experience to get food and nutrition information from tile internet, and 74% of them were girl. Cooking method and world cooking exploring were the most wanted information among food and nutrition information. Professional cooking site and tips of food and nutrition from study aiding sites and monthly magazine sites were tile resources of food and nutrition information. The mai or reasons for searching the food and nutrition information were to know the cooking method and out of curiosity. The most unsatisfied problems were unnecessary information, too much advertisement and too difficult contents when the users approached the site to get the food and nutrition information. Students who have been not interested in and had no homework about food and nutrition, had no visiting experience of web sites for food and nutrition information. Therefore, to provide food and nutrition information for teenagers through internet, web sites were developed to have easy contents linked to study aiding site or other sites that teenagers frequently visit. Since teenager's interest about health issues is not as high as adult's one, the contents of sites must be easy for teenagers to follow and fun, however, should be based on scientific facts on food, nutrition and disease.

This study aims to look at overall adolescents' perceptions of library and reveal the relevance of search engine sources and library sources compared each elements of them and find out any related issues of perceptions of library and information use of them. The data for this study were collected through survey and analyzed descriptive statistics and correlation analysis using the data. The result shows the population users preferred search engine over library as their information search tool, and they used library as primarily a source of information for printed materials such as books and most of them don't use the library often. Also the result shows the population users tend to select information when it is easy to get and fast to access. Correlation analysis such as ${\chi}^2$ and Spearman were implemented and the result of the correlation shows that many factors of this study covered-such as comparison of information sources- have significant differences each other.

The purpose of the study is to explore how isolated immigrant adolescents seek and use necessary information when they are unable to use significant information sources-their peer groups-in the period of transition before new peer groups are established. Sixteen recently arrived Korean immigrant adolescents were recruited and a mixed method including surveys and in-depth interviews was used through three research phases. This study gained a preliminary understanding of isolated immigrant adolescents' information world: how they interpret their current situations and daily hassles, seek (or do not seek), and utilize information to cope with their daily life problems, and evaluate their use of information, including library systems and interpersonal sources. Five main emergent themes were analyzed from the findings and pertinent theories/models to interpret these unique features were suggested and discussed. The contribution and limitation of the study and future study are suggested and discussed.

This study investigated the information behavior and media use of Korean young adults with immigration background, focusing on the influence of their social and cultural context. 11 young adults between 13 and 18 with immigration background participated in the study. The participants provided data via daily logs about information needs, written surveys about media use, and two times of in-depth interviews. The data gathered from these diverse methods were used in analyzing the participants' daily problem situations and attempts to satisfy information needs using media. The information needs of young adults with immigration background in their everyday lives included study, leisure, appearance, self-development, living, and career searching - study and leisure were the most needed information subjects. The young adults who participated in this study were actively using media to solve their information needs. For them, media was an emotional support, a tool to express their own identities, a solution that gives all the answers, and a good companion to spend time with. The proposed strategies about young adults' media use in this study could be used in planning library services for children of families with immigration background.
