Abstract

The aim of this study was to compare the factors influencing internet game addiction among middle and high school boys. The data was analysed from "Survey on the Online and Game and Family Leisure Activities of Youth and Children in 2009" conducted by the Korean Youth Policy Institute. According to the results, the average time on the weekends and average time on the holidays, and the leisure constraints had a significant effect on the internet game addiction both groups. On the other hand, there were significant differences in the communication with parents between middle and high school boys. Accordingly, this study suggests a preventive internet game addiction program be developed. In addition, it is important to improve efficient communication skills between children and parents.

본 연구의 목적은 남자 중 고등학생의 인터넷 게임 중독에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석 및 비교하고자 하였다. 본 연구는 한국청소년정책연구원에서 수행한 "2009년 한국 아동 청소년 온라인 게임 및 가족여가활동 실태 조사"를 분석자료로 사용하였다. 분석결과, 남자 중학생과 고등학생의 경우 공통적으로 평일 평균 게임시간과 일요일 및 공휴일 및 게임시간이 3시간 이상인 경우, 여가 장애 수준이 높을수록 게임중독 수준이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 부모와의 의사소통 변수 또한 게임중독 수준에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나, 중학생의 경우 어머니와 문제형 의사소통이, 고등학생의 경우 아버지와 문제형 의사소통과 어머니와 개방형 의사소통이 영향을 미치는 것으로 차이를 보였다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 올바른 인터넷 사용법 및 인터넷 게임 예방 교육 프로그램과 부모와의 원활한 의사소통을 위한 학부모 교육 프로그램을 개발 및 실시할 것을 제언하고자 한다.
