Abstract

This study examined the factors predicting internet game addiction in higher grade elementary school students according to gender in two cities. The participants were 300 elementary school students who were in the $4^{th}$, $5^{th}$ and $6^{th}$ grades. Data was collected by structured questionnaires from April 1 to June 15 2013, and analyzed using SPSS WIN 14.0. The scores of internet game addiction for elementary school students were 28.82 and 24.61 for boys and girls, respectively. The adjustment to school life predicted internet game addiction in 14% of boys. The adjustment to school life and satisfaction with school life predicted internet game addiction in 15% of girls. The factors affecting highly effective intervention techniques need to be applied to the development of programs to prevent Internet game addiction in elementary school students in the $4^{th}$, $5^{th}$ and $6^{th}$ grades.

본 연구의 목적은 2개의 도시에 있는 초등학교 고학년 학생들을 대상으로 인터넷 게임 중독 정도를 파악하고 이에 영향을 주는 요인들을 파악하여 남여를 비교하기 위함이다. 연구대상자는 300명의 4, 5, 6학년 초등학생이었다. 구조화된 설문지를 통해 2013년 4월 1일부터 6월 15일까지 자료를 수집하였고, 수집된 자료는 SPSS WIN 14.0을 이용해 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과 인터넷 게임 중독의 정도는 남학생 28.82점, 여학생 24.61점으로 나타났고, 학교생활 적응도는 남학생의 인터넷 게임 중독을 14% 설명하였고, 학교생활 만족과 학교생활 적응도는 여학생의 경우 인터넷 게임 중독을 15% 설명하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 초등학교 고학년 남여 학생들의 인터넷 게임 중독에 영향을 주는 요인들에 효과가 높은 중재 기법을 프로그램 개발에 적용할 필요가 있을 것으로 생각된다.
