Purpose: This study was conducted in order to examine the multiple mediated effects of self-regulation and hopelessness between self efficacy and internet game addiction in middle school students. Methods: The participants were 458 middle school students in G City, South Korea. Multiple mediation was analyzed using Indirect SPSS macro and the bootstrapping method. Results: Significant negative correlations were observed for internet game addiction, self-efficacy, and self-regulation. Self-efficacy and self-regulation were positively correlated. Self-efficacy showed a direct effect on Internet game addiction. The results of the indirect effects of all mediators showed the mediated effect of self-regulation (estimated effect=-.11, 95% CI[-.20, -.03]) and hopelessness(estimated effect=-.06, 95% CI[-.12, -.01]). Conclusion: Based on these study results, we suggest that self-efficacy should be examined to prevent development of Internet game addiction in middle school students. It is necessary to provide Internet game addiction preventive programs focusing on changing the self-regulation and relieving the feelings of hopelessness.

Among Korea's content industries, the game industry is growing in size to the extent that it can be said to be a representative export-benefiting industry. Accordingly, many users are immersed in the game, and furthermore, they are addicted. This study aims to derive factors for social game users to continue to use by identifying the factors of domestic social network game users' attachment to social network games and empirically studying the causal relationship between these factors and the intention to continue to use them through immersion and addiction. To this end, a research model was presented that applies the main variables of the attachment theory of social network game users to games. The research model of this study surveyed general college students at S University in Seoul who tended to use social network games. As a result of the study, first, it was found that perceived stability had a significant effect on immersion and addiction. Second, it was found that perceived avoidance had a significant effect on immersion and did not have a significant effect on addiction. Third, perceived anxiety was found to have a significant effect on immersion, and it was found that it did not significantly affect addiction. Fourth, it was found that immersion did not significantly affect addiction, and it was found that it had a significant effect on continuous use intention. Fifth, addiction was found to have a significant effect on the intention to continue use. Through this, social network game users' attachment to games can provide useful implications for social network game companies to become attached to existing consumers, spreading social network game users, and improving the possibility of continuous use.

This study examined internet game addiction and college adaptation(academic, social, personal-emotional, institutional attachment) by Internet game motivation types. The 475 subjects (235 male and 240 female college students) responded to the newly developed self-report measure, Internet Game Motivation Scale (IGMS). Cluster analyses of IGMS data identified 5 types of Internet game motivation: Active I, Active II, Moderate I, Moderate II, Passive. Active (I, II) types had the highest scores in Internet game addiction while the Passive type yielded the lowest. Except for academic adaptation, all aspects of college adaptation varied as a function of Internet game motivation types. Overall, Moderate II showed highest whereas Active I showed lowest academic adaptation scores.

The purpose of this study is to clarify variables dichotomizing adolescents into online game addiction-latency group and non-addiction group. Based on ecologic theory, individual system(self-esteem, self-control, depression, stress-coping strategy), family system(parental support), and social system(teachers' support and peer-group support) were suggest for variables affecting online game addiction of adolescents. 612 adolescents were tested for game addiction, self-esteem, self-control, depression, stress-coping strategy, and social supports from parents, teachers, and peer group. Independent t-tests showed between-group differences in self-esteem, self-control, depression, aggressive, and negative-avoiding stress-coping strategies, parental support, and peer-group support. Binary logistic regression analyses revealed that aggressive stress-coping strategy of social system and peer-group support of social system had significant influences on the division of the groups.

본 연구는 대학교 1학년 신입생들의 온라인 게임 사용실태 경향을 파악하고 요인에 따른 게임 중독 관계를 분석하여 게임 중독을 발생시키는 주요한 원인에 대한 대처 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 게임 중독 하위 변인들 간의 관계에 대해 분석한 결과 성별이 남자일수록 게임 중독이 심하고, 1회 이용시 게임 시간이 길면 내성 통제력 상실정도, 게임 중독 정도가 높음을 알 수 있었고, 또한 고위험군 일수록 신체 정신적 문제가 심각한 것으로 나타났다. 유아, 아동, 청소년뿐만 아니라 대학생과 성인을 비롯한 전 연령을 대상으로 전국의 상담기관 확대 및 예방교육을 위한 게임 관련 척도를 개발할 것을 제안한다.

본 연구는 아동의 가정폭력 경험이 게임중독에 영향을 미치는지를 알아보고자 하였으며, 사회적 지지의 직접효과와 조절효과를 검증하고자 하였다. 본 연구의 조사대상은 광주광역시와 전라남도 지역의 5,6학년 아동이며 가정폭력 경험이 있는 328명의 응답을 분석에 활용하였다. 연구의 주요결과는 다음과 같다. 아동의 가정폭력 경험이 게임중독에 미치는 영향을 검증한 결과, 가정폭력이 게임중독에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 주요 변인으로 확인되었으며 이는 아동의 가정폭력 경험이 높은 경우에 게임중독이 높은 것으로 해석된다. 또한 게임중독에 영향을 미치는 특성은 남학생이 여학생에 비해 게임중독 정도가 높았으며 학년이 높고 모의 교육수준이 낮을수록 게임중독이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 사회적 지지가 게임중독에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나 사회적 지지가 높을수록 게임중독이 낮은 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 아동의 가정폭력이 게임중독에 미치는 영향에 대하여 사회적 지지의 조절효과를 검증한 결과, 사회적 지지는 아동의 가정폭력 경험이 게임중독에 미치는 부정적 영향을 감소시키는 조절효과를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 이상과 같은 결과를 토대로 게임중독 예방을 위한 제언을 하였다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate factors predicting internet game addiction in higher grade elementary schoolers according to gender. Methods: The participants were 898 elementary school students who were in 5th and 6th grade. Data were collected via a structured questionnaire from October 1 to November 20 2012 and analyzed using descriptive statistics, $x^2$ test and logistic regression with the SPSS/WIN 23.0 program. Results: The prevalence rate of internet game addiction group was 8.8% (boys 7.1%, girls 1.7%). In terms of gender difference, it was found that girls' stress coping behaviors were more passive than male students (t=-3.27, p=.001). In boys, variables that predicted internet game addiction were aggressive coping, active coping, internet gaming hours per day and academic achievements. In girls, variables that predicted internet game addiction were aggressive coping, close friends and academic achievements. Conclusion: The findings from this study indicate there is a need to develop positive stress-coping behaviors programs and prevent internet game addiction in higher grade elementary school students.
