Chaotic dynamics have been studied by many researchers in the fields of biology, physics, and engineering. Interest in chaos is also expanding to the social sciences such as politics, economics, and others, including the prediction of societal events. The concept of leisure has developed from a passive concept correlated with relaxation, entertainment, and ideology formation into a positive concept that assumes a more active role. As information and communications technology develops, digital leisure activity is expected to continue spreading. This expansion of digital leisure function correctly, as well as. Traditional leisure activity functions correctly more, whereas digital leisure activity is predicted to function incorrectly more often. In this paper, we propose a mathematical addiction model of digital leisure that deals with its dysfunctions such as addiction to digital leisure, including computer games, internet search, internet chatting, and social media. Herein, to solve addiction to digital leisure, we propose a model derived from a nicotine addiction.

This study was conducted to confirm the mediating effect of interpersonal skills on the relationship between COVID-19 stress and digital addiction of nursing students. Data were collected through an online survey from April 1 to April 30, 2022, for 207 students in the first and second grades of nursing department in two cities. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 22.0 and AMOS 22.0 programs. As a result of the analysis, COVID-19 stress had a significant direct effect on interpersonal ability(β=.21, p=.015) and digital addiction(β=.20,p=.003). But the indirect effect was not significant, so there no mediating effect on interpersonal ability between the stress of COVID-19 and digital addiction(β=.07, p=.314). Based on the results of this study, we suggest the development of a program to identify factors affecting digital addiction and to prevent and manage digital addiction.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of digital textbook use for potential risk group of internet addiction and average group. For this, I selected two samples. One was a group to use digital textbook at school, the other was a group not to use that. Then each potential risk group of internet addiction were sort out in two groups by a test of internet addiction. I firstly compared a average user group and a potential risk group of internet addiction in group to use digital textbook. Also, I too did that in group not to use digital textbook. Then I analyzed the relevance of using digital textbook and internet addiction. As a result, I found that using digital textbook have not the relevance with internet addiction. But in this paper, I proposed a way to teach ICT ethical training before students use the digital textbook, because most of potential risk students of internet addiction tend to think they was influenced by digital textbook.

The aim of this study was to draw some suggestions for Internet Policy by using empirical analyses of key factors in Internet addiction in youths. Internet addiction in youths is perceived as a current and significant issue throughout the world. For the purpose of this study, factors that have influence on the Internet addiction of the youth have been explored and analysed empirically of its hypothetical relationships by using the SEM(structural equation modelling). As a result, a few key factors that suggest a strong relationship to Internet addiction in youths have been drawn: subjects' personality, accessibility to the Internet, psychology and communication factor. Particularly accessibility to the Internet, and specifically the duration of time spent online causes the phenomenon of the Internet addiction. This study shows, however, the subjects' personality and communication factor have the most significant causal relationship to Internet addiction. In other word, the Internet addiction has been changing with the various factors including the factors drawn in this study, which are subjects' personality, accessibility to the Internet, psychology and communication factor. Therefore, Internet addiction should not be merely treated as the isolated problem of the Internet itself; rather it should be understood as various dimensions of society, economy, culture etc. Furthermore, some alternatives to deal with the Internet addiction should be found in various approaches.

Given social problems of social network service (SNS) addiction, it is critical to understand user's formation mechanism of SNS addiction. Since a number of studies have demonstrated the negative outcomes of excessive SNS use, the researchers examined important antecedents of SNS addiction as SNS habit that is considered as a key driver of SNS addiction. Moreover, the effects of self-expression, network management, and information search on SNS addition formation were investigated. The proposed theoretical model was empirically tested by using longitudinal survey data collected from 206 Facebook users. The analysis results indicate that SNS habit plays an important role in forming SNS addiction. Further, self-expression, network management, and information search influence SNS addiction through SNS habit. The analysis results offer some in-depth perspectives to SNS providers and government that establish policies or digital convergence strategies to induce healthy SNS use.
