본 연구는 청소년 인터넷 중독의 각 유형에 따른 비교분석에 초점을 두고, 인터넷 중독유형에 대한 위험요인과 보호요인의 상대적 영향력을 확인하며, 중독유형간의 공통적 요인과 상이한 요인을 밝혀보고자 하였다. 또한 인터넷 중독유형이 정신건강에 미치는 영향을 파악하였다. 1,830명의 청소년들을 대상으로 한 연구결과는 첫째, 청소년의 62.3%는 인터넷 중독이었고, 15.9%는 인터넷 게임중독, 10.9%는 인터넷 섹스중독으로 나타났다. 둘째, 모든 인터넷 중독유형에서 위험요인이 보호요인보다 더 높은 영향력을 나타냈으며, 보호요인의 보상효과는 인터넷 중독과 게임중독에서는 나타났으나, 섹스중독에서는 나타나지 않았다. 셋째, 인터넷 중독유형에서의 공통적인 위험요인은 우울, 공격성, 부모 통제, 친구 영향력이었고, 보호요인은 자기통제력 이었다. 상이한 위험요인은 PC접근성이었고, 보호요인은 자기효능감, 교사지지, 친구지지, 부부관계로 나타났다. 넷째, 3개 중독유형 모두에서 일반이용집단보다 중독집단이 더 높은 수준의 정신과적 증상을 경험하는 나타났다. 다섯째, 3개 중독유형 중 섹스중독, 게임중독, 인터넷 중독 순으로 정신과적 증상차원에 높은 부정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 중독의 정도가 높을수록 정신과적 증상이 심해지는 것으로 나타났다.

Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships among circadian types, depressive mood and internet addiction and to identify the mediating effect of depressive mood between circadian types and internet addiction in Korean College Students. Methods A total of 2632 participants completed questionnaires, which included the Korean translation of the Composite Scale of Morningness (CSM), the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), and the Korean version of the Internet Addiction Test (KIAT). Statistical analyses were done using correlation analysis, analysis of covariance and multiple linear regression. Results The CSM score was negatively associated with the PHQ-9 score (r = -0.226, p < 0.001) and the KIAT score (r = -0.218, p < 0.001). The eveningness group showed higher scores in depressive mood and internet addiction than the morningness group (p < 0.001). Depressive mood showed a partial mediating effect between circadian types and internet addiction (${\beta}=0.255$, p < 0.001). Conclusions Internet addiction was associated with circadian types and depressive mood. These results suggest that depression and circadian rhythm management would contribute to the prevention of internet addiction.

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.

본 연구는 가족의 형태에 따른 인터넷 중독, 자아존중감, 대인관계 그리고 부적응 행동 간의 관계를 실증적으로 분석하였으며, 특히 가족의 형태와 인터넷 중독간의 관계에서 자아존중감, 대인관계와 부적응 행동이 매개효과를 가지는지에 대하여도 실증적 분석을 하였다. 회귀분석 결과 가족의 형태에 따른 인터넷 중독은 부(-)의 관계로 유의한 것으로 검증되었다. 자아존중감은 가족의 형태에 따라 정(+)의 관계로 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 대인관계에서는 가족의 형태가 정(+)의 관계로 유의한 것으로 검증되었다. 반면에 부적응 행동은 인터넷 중독과 같이 가족의 형태와 부(-)의 관계가 있음이 나타났다. 또한, 자아존중감, 대인관계와 부적응행동을 통해서 인터넷 중독에 영향을 미치는 매개효과에 대해서도 검증되었다. 그 결과 자아존중감, 대인관계와 부적응 행동요인이 가족형태와 인터넷 중독 사이의 매개변수의 역할을 수행한다는 결론을 얻었다.

An internet addiction measure(Park et al., 2001) and an asocial behavior measure(K. J. Lee, 1997) were administered to 232 6th-grade students. Statistical analyses were by mean-difference scores and t-test. Results showed that all aspects of internet addiction(preoccupation, compulsive use, relapse, tolerance/dependence and impediments in daily life) were related to both the inner asocial behaviors of depression, social withdrawal and over-anxiety and the external asocial behaviors of aggressiveness, delinquency and hyperactivity. The only exception was that tolerance/dependence was not related to delinquency. Boys addicted to the internet were more socially withdrawn, aggressive, delinquent and hyperactive than girls. From the results, it can be suggested that internet education should be carried out from the elementary educational level.

The two major types of Internet use were playing games(49.9%) and sending e-mails(25.4%). The main reason for playing Internet games was escape from stress(34.7%). 34.5% of the subjects also said that their parents usually encourage them to use the Internet. Second, maternal affection, authoritarian control, and active involvement were significantly different in the types of Internet use. Maternal authoritarian control and overprotection were significantly different in the reasons of doing Internet game. The rational guidance and active involvement of mothers were correlated negatively with children's Internet using time, but their authoritarian control and overprotection were correlated positively with children's Internet using time. Maternal overprotection was correlated positively with parents' encouragement level in the Internet use. Third, the rational guidance, affection, and active involvement of mothers were correlated negatively with children's Internet addiction. In the other hand, maternal authoritarian control and overprotection were correlated positively with children's Internet addiction. Lastly, children's Internet addiction was significantly different by the types of Internet Use and the reasons for doing internet game. Children's Internet using time was correlated positively with children's Internet addiction.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effects of various factors on smartphone addiction according to types of risk groups among middle school students. Methods: Data of 223 students were collected from February 1st to 22nd of 2020. The collected data were analyzed through t-test, χ² test, correlaton coefficients, and multiple regression analysis. The smartphone addiction scale was used to classify the participants into two groups; 18.8% (n=42) of the total respondents were categorized as the addiction risk group and 81.2% (n=181) were categorized as the general population group. Results: The factors associated with the students in the high risk group were grade (t=3.89, p=.036) and religion (F=3.79, p=.044). In the high risk group, psychological anxiety (β=.39, p=.005) and relapse of internet addiction (β=.38, p=.006) explained 46.0% of smartphone addiction, while in the normal risk group, relapse of internet addiction (β=.42, p<.001), psychological anxiety (β=.22, p=.004), tolerance of internet addiction (β=.17, p=.007), and academic stress (β=.14, p=.027) explained 51.0% of smartphone addiction. Conclusion: In order to prevent smartphone addiction in middle school students, a more specific nursing intervention is needed that can reduce psychological anxiety and relapse of internet addiction. It is clear that urgent measures need to be taken for the highly addicted students such as academic counseling.
