Abstract

Objectives ： The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between Internet-gaming/smartphone addiction and parental involvement.
Methods ： From March 2018 to October 2018, a total of 2,701 students in elementary school (n=1,382), middle school (n=798), and high school (n=521) were surveyed in a district in Seoul. The questionnaire included the degree of parental involvement in Internet gaming and smartphone usage and addictive symptoms on these media. The parental attitude was graded as ‘1=completely restrictive/2=mostly restrictive and partially permissive/3=mostly permissive and partially restrictive/4=completely permissive’.
Results ： Parent group 4 for Internet-gaming and parent group 3 for smartphone usage were significantly related to addictive conditions in each media usage. Parent group 1 for smartphone usage was related to less addictive conditions in students.
Conclusion : Parental strategy to prevent adolescent's addiction for Internet-gaming and smartphone would differ according to the media type used. Further study would be helpful to reveal the relationship and prevent the addictive problem in this issue. This issue should not be limited to the areas of parental role and responsibility, but more social interest and systemic efforts should be put in place.
