최근 청소년층의 인터넷 이용이 급격히 증가하면서, 초등학생 중 90% 이상이 인터넷을 이용하고 있으며, 그 연령대도 낮아져 저학년 어린이의 이용률이 지속적으로 높아지고 있다. 또한 청소년의 30%가 인터넷 중독 또는 중독 직전에 있는 것이 실태이기도 하다. 10대가 현재 가장 많이 사용하고 있는 정보매체인 컴퓨터는, 그것을 사용함에 있어 교육적으로 도움이 되는 면도 있지만 반면에 무분별한 인터넷 용어나 비속어의 사용, 무절제한 지속적인 이용, 유해사이트에의 노출 등 많은 문제가 산재해 있다. 기존의 유해사이트 차단과 컴퓨터 사용시간 제한 등의 사용 관리를 위한 프로그램들이 많이 선보여진 상태이지만 그 활용 면에서 보면, 좀 더 사용자의 특성을 이해하여 어른들보다 절제가 어려운 어린이 사용자를 위해 부모 혹은 선생님과 같은 관리자와 가르침의 역할을 해줄 수 있는 부분이 더욱 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 무형의 소프트웨어 프로그램이 사용자에게 명령을 내리고 그것을 수행하게 하는 것 보다, 사용자가 친숙하게 받아들이고 정서적으로 접근할 수 있는 사용자와 인터렉션이 가능한 캐릭터 형태의 물리적 아바타를 제안하고자 한다. 또한 비속어나 그와 비슷한 단어들을 사용할 시 의미적으로 비속어인지 아닌지 아바타가 추론할 수 있는 기능으로, 인공지능을 부여하여 사용자가 인터넷 채팅이나 게임을 할때 아바타로 하여금 사용자와의 인터렉션을 통해서 올바르지 않은 언어사용에 대한 인지를 쉽게 하고 개선의 효과를 높이며 지속적인 관심을 이끌 수 있는 인공지능을 가진 캐릭터 아바타를 제안하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of internet usage among 5th and 6th grade of elementary school children and to elucidate the path model and the relative effects of various factors on internet addiction in the internet addiction tendency group. According to our results, the normal internet user group exhibit higher educational levels in fathers, secure attachment to mother, and warm friendship when compared to the internet addiction tendency group. At the same time, internet addiction group exhibit longer internet use time, a greater numbers of avatars in use, and higher avatars decoration costs. The research model suggested here was supported by the results. Attachment to mother appears to affect friendship which in turn affects avatars image decoration needs and avatars identification which in turn then has an impact upon internet addiction tendency. These results were then discussed in relation to previous research and theories.
