Abstract

|
|
Objectives：This study was intended to investigate the influences of the place for internet use, perceived stress, copying style, family support, parenting behavior on maladaptation in the adolescents with problematic internet use.
Methods：The subjects of this study were 795 high school students in Incheon. They completed self-report questionnaires containing Questionnaires designed by authors, Young’s Internet Addiction Scales, Scales for the Perceived Stress, Copying Style, relationship sub-scales of Family Environment Scale and Parenting Behavior Inventory.
Results：1) Compared with the PC bang users, personal computer users at home had significantly higher mean addiction scores, spent more time for internet use, and had more difficulty with self-control. 2) Addictors, especially male addictors had significantly higher stress scores than non-addictors. 3) Addictors had significantly higher behavioral coping scores and avoidant coping scores than non-addictors. 4) Addictors had significantly higher family conflict scores, lower family cohessiveness scores and lower family expression scores than non-addictors. 5) Addictors experienced significantly less affection and reasoning from their father than non addictors. In addition, addictiors perceived significantly more physical abuse, intrusiveness, over-expectation, neglect, inconstancy from both parents than non addictors.
Conclusion：Compared with the PC bang users, personal computer user had higher risk for problematic internet use. So they need more parent monitoring and help. Addictors had more daily stress, but used avoidant strategy to cope their stress and experienced less supportive family environment and negative parenting behavior than non-addictors. We recommend that parents pay attention to their adolescent’s stress factors and make effort to give the supportive environment and positive parenting behaviors.
