Purpose: This study was done to develop the multidimensional scale of addictive behavior for adolescents. Methods: The process involved construction of a conceptual framework, initial items, verification of content validity, selection of secondary items, and extraction of final items. The participants were 636 adolescents in six middle schools and four high schools. Results: Seventy items were selected for the final scale, and categorized 8 factors explaining 56.5% of total variance. The factors were labeled as game addictive behavior, shopping addictive behavior, mobile phone addictive behavior, nicotine addictive behavior, television addictive behavior, gambling addictive behavior, alcohol addictive behavior, and internet addictive behavior. The scores for the scale were significantly correlated with addictive personality and self-control. Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the 70 items was .94. Scale scores identified adolescents as addictive behavior group, risk group, and average group. Conclusion: The above findings indicate that the multidimensional scale of addictive behavior for adolescents has good validity and reliability when used with adolescents. More importantly, it provides the first step toward developing a addiction prevention program. Additionally the scales provide an education or guideline, and proper physical and mental health management of youth in research and practice for the promotion of education.

본 연구에서는 중독적 구매행동과 정서(Affect)와의 인과관계를 알아보고 중독적 구매자의 경우 기분전환(mood elevator)을 위하여 구매행동을 하는 것인지를 조사하였다. 연구자료는 설무지조사에 의하여 149명의 피험자(대학생, 시카고 거주자, Debtors Anonymous회원) 로부터 얻어졌다. 중독적 구매행동의 우울증과 낮은 자아존중감을 야기시킬가능성이 역방향으로 우울증과 낮은 자아존중감이 중독적 구매행동을 야기시킬가능성보다 높은 것으로 나타났다. 중독적 구매자는 비중독적 구매자보다 자신에 대하여 부정적 감정을 더 많이 가지고 있었으며(불행한 우울한 불만족한 지루한) 쇼핑하는 동안에는 더 흥분되며 우울하고 쇼핑후에는 더 우울하고 자신감이 더 적어지는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 중독적 구매자가 기분전환을 위하여 구매행동을 할것이라는 가정을 지지하지 않았다.

가정은 인간의 출생과 더불어 최초로 소속되어지는 공동체이며 최초의 교육의 장이다. 인간의 성장 발달에 있어서 초기 환경이 중요한데 여러 환경요인 중에서도 개인의 행동을 형성하는데 있어서 가장 중요한 환경이라고 볼 수 있는 것이 가정환경이라 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 가족의 형태에 따른 인터넷 중독, 대인관계 그리고 부적응 행동 간의 관계를 실증적으로 분석하였으며, 특히 가족의 형태와 인터넷 중독간의 관계에서 대인관계와 부적응 행동이 매개효과를 가지는지에 대하여도 실증적 분석을 하였다. 회귀분석 결과 가족의 형태에 따른 인터넷 중독은 부(-)의 관계로 유의한 것으로 검증되었다. 대인관계에서는 가족의 형태가 정(+)의 관계로 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 반면에 부적응 행동은 인터넷 중독과 같이 가족의 형태와 부(-)의 관계가 있음이 나타났다. 즉, 대인관계나 부적응행동을 통해서 인터넷 중독에 영향을 미치는 매개효과에 대해서도 검증되었다. 그 결과 대인관계와 부적응 행동요인이 가족형태와 인터넷 중독 사이의 매개변수의 역할을 수행한다는 결론을 얻었다.

This study was conducted to explore the mediation effects of irrational belief on the relationship between game addiction and anger behavior. For this study, 431 middle school boys in Chungcheong areas were included in the analysis. The results showed that game addiction was positively correlated with direct anger-out, rumination, diffusion as well as irrational belief. The boys at high risk of game addiction showed higher mean scores on irrational belief, direct anger-out, rumination: and diffusion than other students. Irrational belief (mediator) partially mediated the influence of the boys' game addiction (independent variable) on direct anger-out, rumination, and diffusion (dependent variable). Finally, limitations of this study and suggestions for future study were discussed.

This study tried to identify the factors influencing the visual factors of fashion virtual influencers(FVI), on follower behavioral intention and addiction. As the number of fans of FVI is increasing these years, and the addiction phenomenon of social platforms is also increasing, researchers thought that a study to confirm the behavioral intention of fans and the path to addiction through the visual factors of FVI would be necessary. According to the research results, it was confirmed that among the visual factors of FVI, attractiveness affects authenticity through expertise. In addition, researchers confirmed that authenticity influences flow through relationship maintenance of behavioral intention, and authenticity influences addiction through flow. Thus, researchers verified the path leading to FVI's visual factors to behavioral intention and addiction, such as visual factors and authenticity, authenticity and behavioral intention, and behavioral intention and addiction.
