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.
