  • This study tests a model for the effect of low self-control on cyber crime and its mediating process. Intervening variables include smartphone addiction, social learning and opportunity variables. Analyzing a data from college students in Seoul, it is shown that the effect of low self-control has a significant effect on smartphone addiction. Results also show that smartphone addiction has a positive significant effect on differential association with illegal peers, illegal definition, and illegal opportunity, and in turn cybercrime. In addition, it is found that low self-control has also a direct effect on differential association with illegal peers, illegal definitions, and illegal opportunity without mediating by smartphone addiction. As a result, it is reveal that the effect of low self-control on cybercrime is indirect and its effect is mediated by smartphone addiction, differential association with illegal peers, illegal definitions, and illegal opportunity.

  • Methamphetamine addiction is a critical issue due to the lack of effective pharmacotherapy and high potential for relapse. Nevertheless, there are no distinct biomarkers for diagnosis or prognosis for methamphetamine addiction. In the present study, a rat model for methamphetamine self-administration was established and alteration of urinary metabolites by methamphetamine addiction was investigated by the targeted metabolite analysis using mass spectrometry. Rat urine samples were collected at three time points (before and after addiction and after extinction) from the methamphetamine-addicted group as well as the age-matched control group. The collected samples were prepared using AbsoluteIDQ p180 kit and analyzed using flow injection analysis (FIA) - or high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) - tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). The levels of lysine, acetylornithine and methioninesulfoxide were distinctively altered depending on the status of metheamphetamine addiction or extinction. In particular, the level of acetylornithine was reversely changed from addiction to extinction, for which further studies could be useful for biomarker discovery or mechanistic studies for methamphetamine addiction.

For this purpose, 382 college students in the Jeju area were surveyed and their responses analyzed. To analyze the collected data, structural equations were implemented using SPSS Statistics version 18.0. According to the results of the study, there is a significant negative correlation between attachment formation and SNS intoxication in college students, and a negative correlation between ego resiliency and SNS addiction. Also, there is a significant positive correlation between formation of parental attachment and ego resiliency in college students, indicating that parental attachment and ego resiliency are significant factors in lowering SNS addiction. Second, in order to examine the mediating effects of ego resiliency in the relationship between the formation of parental attachment and SNS addiction in college students, a research model and a competition model were established and verified. As a result, the relationship between parent attachment and SNS addiction was mediated completely, and the research model is more appropriate. These findings suggest that ego resiliency is of practical significance in seeking ways to improve the problem of SNS addiction in the future. In other words, overuse of SNSs by university students can lead to addiction, but strengthening ego resiliency enables sound SNS use.
