Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the mediation effects of deficiency on executive function for male adolescents' game addiction and aggression. For this study, 120 male high school students in Chungnam areas were included in the analysis. The results showed that game addiction showed significant correlations with both deficiency on executive function and aggression. Adolescents addicted to games tended to exhibit higher aggression and more deficiency on executive function than adolescents without game addiction. Deficiency on executive function (mediator) partially mediated the influence of the adolescents' game addiction (independent variable) on aggression (dependent variable). Based on these results, it was suggested that self-instructional training would be helpful for game-addicted adolescents to enhance self-control. Finally, limitations of this study and suggestions for future research were discussed.

본 연구는 남자 청소년의 게임중독과 공격성의 관계에서 집행기능결함의 매개효과를 탐색하고자 수행되었다. 이를 위해 충남지역 남자 고등학생 120명을 분석대상으로 하였다. 분석결과, 게임중독은 집행기능결함 및 공격성과 유의미한 상관을 나타냈다. 게임중독집단이 비중독집단에 비해 공격성과 집행기능결함이 모두 통계적으로 유의미하게 큰 것으로 나타났다. 게임중독과 공격성의 관계에서 집행기능결함의 매개효과를 검증한 결과, 집행기능결함(매개변인)은 게임중독(독립변인)이 공격성(종속변인)에 미치는 영향을 부분매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 바탕으로 게임중독 청소년의 자기조절능력 향상을 위한 실천적 함의와 본 연구의 제한점 및 후속연구를 위한 제언이 논의되었다.
