Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the subjective perception of college students' Internet addiction by applying photovoice method, a participatory research method. The subjects of the study were nine university students at G University. The data were analyzed by orientation, photo collection, photo selection, contextualizing and codifying according to the general photo voice research procedure.As a result, 15 sub-categories were derived based on the meaning of Internet addiction, the effects of Internet addiction on life, and how to get out of Internet addiction. The perception of the meaning of Internet addiction was divided into five categories: 'loss of self-regulation', 'habit without exit', 'disconnection from the world', 'loss of me', and 'voluntary prison'. The effects of Internet addiction on life were 5 categories: 'health deterioration', 'social isolation', 'broken daily life', 'anonymous violence' and 'my discovery and life extension'. In terms of how to get out of internet addiction, 'self-looking', 'new hobbies', 'nearby', 'reality meetings', and 'forced blocking' were derived. It suggested the discussion about Internet addiction viewed by college students and the implications of constructing a counseling program that can help to use the Internet correctly.

본 연구는 참여적 연구방법인 포토보이스 방법을 적용하여 대학생들의 인터넷 중독에 대한 주관적 인식에 대해 심층적으로 탐색해 보고자 하였다. 연구대상은 G대학의 대학생 9명이며, 일반적인 포토보이스 연구절차에 따라 오리엔테이션, 연구 참여자들의 사진촬영을 통한 자료수집, 사진 선정, 맥락화, 범주화 과정으로 자료를 분석하였다. 연구결과 인터넷 중독의 의미, 인터넷 중독이 삶에 미치는 영향, 인터넷 중독에서 벗어나는 방안이라는 주제에 따라 15개의 하위범주가 도출 되었다. 인터넷 중독의 의미에 대한 인식은 '자기조절 능력상실', '출구 없는 습관', '세상과의 단절', '나를 잃어버림', '자발적 감옥'이라는 5가지 범주로 나타났다. 인터넷 중독이 삶에 미치는 영향은 5가지 범주로 '건강 악화, '사회적 고립, '망가진 일상', '익명으로 인한 폭력성', '나의 발견과 삶의 확장'이었다. 인터넷 중독에서 벗어나는 방법에 대해서는 '자기바라보기', '새로운 취미생활', '주변의 도움', '현실속의 만남', '강제적 차단'이 도출되었다. 대학생의 시선으로 바라본 인터넷 중독에 대한 논의와 올바른 인터넷 사용을 조력할 수 있는 상담 프로그램 구성에 대한 시사점을 제언하였다.
