Abstract

|
|
Objectives: This study investigated life stressors as risk factors for manifestations of adolescent Internet addiction, as well as the mediating roles of self-efficacy and perceived parental support/affection. It examined the influence from each parent, which has been addressed minimally in previous studies.
Methods: The 4th wave of data from the Korean Education and Employment Panel Survey was used for the analysis. Our model includes six stressor risk factors including academic stressors, mother¡¯s and father¡¯s over-controlling behavior, mother¡¯s and father¡¯s abusive behavior, and stressors from relationships with friends, as well as three potential mediators (self-efficacy and perceptions of mother¡¯s and father¡¯s support/affection).
Results: Regarding stressor risk factors for Internet addiction, academic stress, mother¡¯s over-control, and stressors from peer relationships were significant, whereas father¡¯s over-control and abuse from either parent were not. self-efficacy was found to be a mediator between stressors and Internet addiction, but perceived parental support/affection was not.
Conclusions: The results are discussed with in the current social context in Korea, and implications are proposed.
