Objective: This study aimed to examine the mediating effect of mothers' parenting stress on the relationship between their self-differentiation and the tendency of addiction to social media. Methods: The participants in this study were two hundred and eight mothers with children aged 36 months or younger. Data were analyzed statistically using frequency, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis. Results: The results of the present study are as follows. First, the mothers' self-differentiation was negatively associated with their parenting stress and social media addiction tendency. Second, both the total scores of the mothers' parenting stress and their distress were found to partially mediate the relationship between their self-differentiation and social media addiction tendency. However, the mothers' daily stress did not mediate the relationship between the variables. Conclusion/Implications: The findings of the current study have implications for developing ways of intervening in mothers' social media addiction tendency by reducing their parenting stress, particularly for mothers with low levels of self-differentiation.

본 연구는 위챗 소셜미디어 플랫폼의 사회적, 오락적 요인이 이용자의 몰입과 중독에 어떤 영향을 주는지에 대한 실증 연구이다. 연구자들은 소셜미디어 위챗 이용자들의 중독이 늘어나고 있음에도 불구하고, 기존 소셜미디어 연구가 서비스 품질과 만족도 등에 그치고 있어 이용자의 몰입, 중독에 관한 연구가 필요할 것으로 보았다. 따라서 연구자들은 실증분석을 통하여 위챗 사용의 중독에 이르는 경로를 사회적 요인(사교성, 지불성)과 오락적 요인(오락성, 생활 관련성)으로 설정하고 위챗 이용자 체험이 사용 의도와 만족에 어떻게 영향을 미치는지 고찰하고 이용자의 위챗 몰입과 중독으로 이어지는 경로를 확인하고자 하였다. 연구결과 위챗의 사교성 등 기능적 요인이 인지된 용이성 및 유용성에 영향을 주고, 이에 대한 사용과 만족이후 몰입과 중독에 영향을 주는 것으로 검정되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 소셜미디어의 중독적 사용관련 연구에 새로운 이론적 기반이 될 것으로 기대하고 있다.

본 연구는 페이스북과 같은 소셜미디어의 중독과 지속사용 의도에 관한 연구를 통해 디지털 정책의 대안을 제시하고자 한 연구이다. 이를 위해 연구자는 소셜미디어 사용자가 인식하는 중독 증상에 대해 선행과 후행의 변인을 찾아보고, 서비스 지속 이용에 대한 방안 및 중독의 예방을 위한 함의를 얻고자 하였다. 연구결과 1) 개인의 혁신성은 서비스 만족, 중독, 지속사용의도에 영향을 미치고, 2) 서비스 만족이 중독과 지속사용의도에 영향을 미치며, 3) 서비스 중독 인식이 지속사용 의도에 부정적인 영향을 미쳤다. 이 점은 이용자의 중독인지가 서비스의 지속 성장에 장애가 됨을 설명하는 결과였다. 본 연구의 정책적 제안은 다음 두 가지로 요약된다. 1) 서비스 제공사업자는 이용자가 중독적인 사용행태를 보일 때 이용자가 중독으로 인해 서비스로부터 이탈하지 않도록 주의를 기울여야 한다. 2) 정부는 서비스 중독의 예방을 위해 이용자가 중독으로 인한 불편함을 인지할 때 대처할 수 있는 치유시설, 서비스 등을 제공해야 할 것으로 기대된다.

Social media is an essential part of everyday life in modern society and plays an important role in communicating the ideal body image. With the increased prevalence and high popularity of social media, the problems associated with the addictive use of social media have become a social issue. Utilizing social comparison theory, this study examined (1) the effect of appearance related photo activities on body satisfaction through appearance comparison and (2) the moderating effect of Instagram addiction in relationships among appearance related photo activity, appearance comparison, and body satisfaction. We tested the proposed relationships between research variables using multi-group structural equation modeling analysis on a sample of 346 young female Instagram users. The sample was divided into two groups of high and low addicted Instagram users. The results of this study showed that the appearance related photo activity positively influenced appearance comparison for both high and low addiction groups. For the high addiction group, the effect of appearance comparison on body satisfaction was not statistically significant; however, this relationship was significant and negative for the low addiction group. A significant moderating effect of Instagram addiction was found in the relationship between appearance related photo activity and appearance comparison.

Although the development of digital technology and network has brought great convenience in modern lives, amongst the aggravated complexity in the contemporary society, modern minds who have failed to create genuine relationships undergo a sense of alienation and solitude that may appear as a type of social pathology called cellular-phone addiction. Also, while the emergence of the information age seemingly brings about benefits including diverse acquisition regarding knowledge and broader communication, underneath exists side effects involving leakage of private information. Especially, being excessively addicted to relationship network may induce one to become insensitive towards leakage of private information without recognizing, and thereby instigating yet another social problem. Media art is very practical in terms of suggesting a critical perspective concerning social phenomena and elevating them into a work of art by rendering them artistically. Particularly, when social problems of the modern days are expressed through digital technology, media art provides the audience with a foundation that will enable them to sympathize without hostility. This dissertation calls attention to the contemporary problems regarding cellular-phone addiction and possible hazards of information leakage based on media art, while at the same time proposing the production process of a media art work that attempts to raise awareness and sympathy on such social issues.

Adolescent media addiction has emerged as an important social agenda in Korea. However, there has not been enough discussion on the causal structure of media addiction and policy interventions. The objective of this study is to identify and assess the mechanism of the existing and the revised Shutdown policy based on the systems thinking approach. To achieve this purpose, we establish the relationship between media usage, flow, and addiction, and develop a causal loop diagram. Based on the causal loop diagram, we explore the causal structure of two policy scenarios: shutdown policy and deregulation. Our study suggests that policy interventions inducing direct parental control on children's media usage time are ineffective since the time control reduces children's autonomy, which helps alleviate media addiction. Therefore, this study suggests that policy intervention should focus on alleviating addiction itself rather than on controlling media usage time.

Online self-disclosure was hypothesized as a mediating variable, explaining the relationship between Facebook access motivation (relationship expansion, curiosity about others' life, maintenance of social connection, social pressure from others, habitual use, impression management, searching for information, and content sharing) and Facebook addiction. Data came from 407 high school students in the Busan, and Gyeongnam provinces. Structural analysis was used to specify the relations among measured construct. Facebook access motivation of curiosity about others' life, Facebook access motivation of maintenance of social connection, Facebook access motivation of social pressure from others, Facebook access motivation of habitual use, and Facebook access motivation of impression management were significant predictors of Facebook addiction. Online self-disclosure mediates between Facebook access motivation of curiosity about others' life, Facebook access motivation of social pressure from others, Facebook access motivation of searching for information & Facebook access motivation of content sharing and Facebook addiction. Viewing online self-disclosure as a mediator has important implications for social media addiction counseling practice.

본 연구의 목적은 스마트미디어 중독예방 지원체계의 현황과 문제점을 탐색해보고 스마트미디어 중독을 예방하는 융복합정책 방안을 모색하는 것이다. 문헌연구를 토대로 진행된 연구의 주요한 결과는 다음과 같다. 우리사회의 스마트미디어 중독예방체계로는 스마트쉼센터, 한국청소년복지상담개발원, 아이윌센터 등 정부산하기관이 존재한다. 그러나 이 예방체계들은 연령별, 지역별 특성을 반영한 대상 맞춤형 서비스가 제공되지 않을 뿐만 아니라 획일적으로 규제중심이라는 것이 문제로 지적되었다. 선진국 사례를 통해 제시된 정책방안으로 규제보다는 책임감 있는 사용의 교육, 가족 참여를 유도하는 개입의 강화, 유해환경 차단시스템을 확충, 그리고 지자체, 민간기관의 협력을 통한 중앙정부의 통합적 관리의 필요성이 제시되었다. 스마트미디어 중독은 새롭게 주목을 받는 문제이므로 우리사회의 기준에 부합하는 예방정책을 마련하기 위한 후속연구의 필요성을 제기하였다.
