While earlier research reports focused on Internet addiction among adolescents, this research examines the direct/indirect impact of socio-psychological variables like stress level, self-consciousness (self-esteem, self-control, and self-efficacy), and Internet use control on Internet addiction among adults. The fact that 62.4% of survey respondents were diagnosed as Internet addicts demonstrates that this concern about Internet addiction among adults is valid. This research, first, shows the direct impact of socio-psychological variables on Internet addiction. Low self-esteem, low self-control, high self-efficacy, high levels of stress, and high Internet-use control lead to a severe level of Internet addiction. Second, self-consciousness variables mediate the impact of stress on the addiction, but the mediating role is not so significant as the direct impact. Internet-use control plays as a partial moderator between self-esteem, self-control and addiction. Internet-use control is a useful measure for Internet addition at work. In addition, businesses may take personality, as well as environmental conditions, and organizational management process into account to minimize the impact of the addiction.

The Internet can provide benefits obtained from changing the structure of a business, such as emphasizing the importance of different types of personnel. In addition, the Internet alters the process for business activity, both within and outside the organization. Using structural equation modeling, I empirically test a number of hypothesized relationship based on a sample of 126 Internet Community users. The results are as follows: loyalty is significantly influenced by trust and relationship, repeat purchase is significantly influenced bye-loyalty. In addition, word of mouth is significantly influenced by e-loyalty.

Risk has been considered as one of very important topics in traditional consumer behavior theoretically and practically since its tendency of minimizing errors rather than maximizing utilization in addition to its intuitive appealing with very high explaining power. In addition to a traditional view of risk, importance of risk in online transactions such as Internet banking is due to technical instability in security of the Internet as well as temporal and spatial separation of transaction partners. Therefore, risk in online transactions should be analyzed by a very comprehensive way since it is very inherent in the Internet. The objective of this study is to suggest a research model for explaining the use of online transactions in some risk related variables including risk results, security result, perceived security, and social influence and show its validity by applying it to Internet banking users. In result, hypotheses suggested by our research model are shown to be valid ones.

자기 통제력이 약한 청소년의 경우, 감각 추구 성향 및 현실탈출의 대안으로 인터넷을 사용하다 인터넷중독에 빠지는 경우가 많다. 이러한 인터넷중독 문제점을 해결하기 위해, 인터넷중독 척도 기준에 따른 인터넷 자가진단 기법이 개발되어 사용되고 있다. 하지만 기존의 방식들은 중복적인 척도기준과 설문지 형식의 진단방식을 이용하고 있어, 체계적으로 중독의 상관성 및 환경의 영향성을 평가하고 있지 못하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 보다 체계적인 인터넷중독 자가진단을 위하여 새로운 형식개념분석 기법을 활용한 인터넷중독 자가진단 기법을 제안하고 자가진단 시스템으로 구현하고자 한다. 또한 가정환경, 가족과의 관계, 교우관계, 학교생활 등 다양한 관점 기반의 분석을 통해 측정된 데이터의 상관성을 분석하고자 한다.

최근 인터넷 사용이 확산되면서 그 역기능에 대한 우려가 커지고 있다. 특히 인터넷 중독이 주요 이슈로 다루어지며, 인터넷 사용자의 연령층이 낮아지면서 인터넷 중독에 대한 우려는 초등학생에게까지 미치게 되었다. 그러나 인터넷 중독 관련 연구는 중 고등학생들을 대상으로 하여서는 상당수 이루어졌으나, 초등학생들을 대상으로 한 연구는 매우 미흡하게 이루어졌다. 또한 우리나라의 현실에 맞고, 초 중등학생들을 대상으로 사용이 가능하며, 표준화와 타당화 과정을 거친 신뢰로운 검사 도구의 사용이 절실히 필요하다. 이에 본 연구는 그와 같은 필요를 고려하여 개발된 인터넷 중독 검사 도구를 사용하여, 전국의 5, 6학년 1,382명의 학생들을 대상으로 인터넷 중독의 현황과 그 원인이 되는 요소들을 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 조사 대상의 5.5%에 해당하는 학생들이 고위험사용자군으로 분류되었고 12.4%의 학생들이 잠재적위험사용자군으로 분류되었다. 또한, 학생들의 인터넷 중독 수준은 성, 학년 등과 같은 '인구학적 요인', 사용 시간, 목적 등과 같은 '인터넷 사용 경험', 가족 형태, 관계 만족도 등과 같은 '가족 관련 특성', 친구관계, 학교생활과 같은 '사회적 활동' 등의 4가지 영역의 15가지 변수들에 대해서 유의미한 차이가 있음이 발견되었다.

이 연구는 청소년 인터넷 중독의 영향요인을 생태체계적 관점에서 규명해 봄으로써 인터넷 중독에 대한 대처방안을 모색해 본 연구이다. 즉, 인터넷 중독의 영향요인을 생태체계적 관점에서 개인체계, 가정환경체계, 학교환경체계, 인터넷 환경체계 등으로 나누어 영향요인을 규명하였으며, 이를 토대로 대처방안을 제시하였다. 개인체계에서 중요한 영향요인으로는 자기효능감, 자아존중감, 자기통제력 등이었으며, 가정환경체계에서 중요한 영향요인으로는 부모-자녀간 의사소통, 부모의 양육태도, 부모의 감독수준, 부모의지지 등이 중요한 영향요인으로 규명되었다. 학교환경체계에서 중요한 영향요인으로는 학업성적, 친구지지, 교사지지, 학교생활 적응 등이 중요한 영향요인으로 규명되었다. 이 연구에서는 이러한 연구결과를 토대로 인터넷 중독에 대한 대처방안을 제시한 것이다.

Purpose: This study was done to identify the level of Internet addiction among adolescents, and to examine factors affecting Internet addiction in adolescents. Method: The participants in were 475 high school students. Data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis to examine the factors affecting Internet addiction in adolescents. Result: The overall Internet addiction scale score was 63.83(±20.48). The differences of Internet addiction according to student characteristics were found to be significant for sex and grade. The level of Internet addiction was positively related to the level of impulsiveness and depression. The level of Internet addiction was negatively related to the level of social support. Factors such as impulsiveness and social support were examined as significant factors predicting Internet addiction in adolescents. Conclusion: Based upon these findings, factors affecting Internet addiction in adolescents include impulsiveness and social support. The findings provide further justification for interventions targeting key factors that influence Internet addiction in adolescents in addition to providing adolescents with necessary communication, negotiation and other life skills.

Technology acceptance model(TAM) has been widely used to predict the end-user's acceptance of a new IT/IS. We used TAM as a theoretical foundation to explain user's intention to use an Internet shopping mall. The theoretical model is tested with the questionnaires from 308 users of an Internet shopping mall. Results show that several individual characteristics such as Internet skills and self-efficacy have a significant impact on user's perception of usefulness and ease of use. Results also show that both perceived enjoyment and perceived usefulness of Internet shopping mall strongly predict intention to use the Internet shopping mall. However, perceived ease of use has no direct influence on intention to use the Internet shopping mall. Personal innovativeness and Internet skills also have a positive effect on perceived enjoyment. Therefore, Internet shopping mall managers have to consider intrinsic motivational factor(enjoyment) as well as extrinsic motivational factor(usefulness). In addition, individual characteristics should be emphasized to form the positive beliefs about using the Internet shopping mall.

In this paper we applied our previously developed assessment framework to the data collected from an internet security readiness survey targeted at households. We used the assessment framework to compute an Internet Security Readiness index for each household, which was in turn derived from Internet Security Readiness capital, skill, and actual uptake/use of infrastructure indices. We then examined the relationships among overall Internet Security Readiness, and the capital, skill, and actual uptake/use of infrastructure related to Internet Security Readiness. In addition, we explored the influence of Internet usage level and experience on Internet Security Readiness.
