This paper uses Preliminary Surveys of Game User Panels conducted in 2019 to examine how social relations that young game users held affect game use. In particular, we analyzed how social relations of youth affect adaptive and maladaptive usage of game. According to the statistical results, the quality of the relationship between users and parents and that of the relationship between users and their friends do not have consistent effects on the degree of adaptive and maladaptive game use. Also, the results suggests that game-related information can play as a double-edged sword for young game users by reinforcing the degree of adaptive and maladaptive game use. The results implies the possibility of interaction between adaptive and maladaptive game using behavior as an interpretative framework in social context rather than mutually exclusive mechanisms.

This study aims to identify the relationship between ADHD trait and game addiction among high school students, and to examine the double mediating model of hardiness and emotional use of music on that relationship. Participants were 254 male and female high school students. World Health Organization ADHD Self-Report Scale, Short Form of Hardiness Questionnaire, Use of Music Inventory, and Internet Gaming Use-Elicited Symptom Screen were used for this study. PROCESS Macro 3.5 Model 6 was used to analyse a double mediating effect. Results revealed that ADHD trait was negatively correlated with hardiness of high school students, and positively correlated with emotional use of music and game addiction. And, hardiness of high school students was positively correlated with emotional use of music and negatively correlated with game addiction, whereas emotional use of music was negatively correlated with game addiction. It was found that hardiness and emotional use of music were sequentially mediating ADHD trait and game addiction among high school students.
