Abstract
PDF - Background
This study analyzes and evaluates the effectiveness of various interventions designed to prevent internet and smartphone addiction among elementary school students based on the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) model.
Methods
An integrative literature review examined studies published in the last ten years that focus on preventive interventions for internet and smartphone addiction among elementary school students. The selected studies were analyzed using the IMB model, which includes information, motivation, and behavioral skills as key components.
Results
The analysis identified several critical components of effective prevention programs: providing relevant information, enhancing interpersonal relationships, emotional management, self-control, and impulse control skills. Effective programs often included group interventions, visual aids, play activities, and parental involvement.
Conclusions
The findings suggest that balanced integration of information, motivation, and behavioral skills is essential for developing effective prevention programs for internet and smartphone addiction among elementary school students. The study provides a foundation for future research and the development of comprehensive prevention programs tailored to the unique characteristics of this age group.

Abstract
PDF
- Background
Therapist support is an important intervention design factor in internet-delivered psychotherapy. However, the relationship between therapist support and intervention outcomes is not well established. This study examined the relationship between therapist support, efficacy, and adherence to Internet-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) for disordered eating behaviors.
Methods
Thirty-six women with disordered eating behaviors were recruited and randomly assigned to three groups: low, medium, and high levels of therapist support. The participants received eight sessions of I-CBT, twice a week, with varying levels of therapist support.
Results
While all three groups showed a reduction in eating disorder risk factors (i.e., body image disturbance, disordered eating behaviors, depression, and anxiety), there were no significant differences in these improvements by therapist support level. However, there were significant differences in intervention completion rates by therapist support level, with higher levels of support associated with increased intervention completion rates.
Conclusions
Therapist support can potentially improve adherence to internet-based interventions.

Abstract
PDF
- Background
This study investigated the influence of parenting stress among single parents on the level of Internet addiction in their adolescent children, while also considering the moderating effect of family economic status.
Methods
An analysis was conducted using regression models to assess direct and moderating effects, utilizing data from the 2021 Survey of Single-parent Families, focusing on single parents with adolescent children.
Results
It was observed that single parents’ parenting stress had a positive and significant influence on the level of Internet addiction seen in their adolescent children. Furthermore, this influence was observed to be even stronger when the family’s economic status was lower.
Conclusions
This study empirically examined the influence of parenting and economic circumstances on the level of Internet addiction among adolescent children in single-parent families, drawing on nationally representative data. The study also underscored the need for diverse intervention strategies.

Abstract
PDF
Background: This study examined the mediating effects of experiential avoidance on the relationship between stress and internet/smartphone addiction in adolescents.
Methods: 448 middle school students completed the self-report questionnaires on school stress, home stress, multidimensional experiential avoidance, and internet/smartphone addiction.
Results: Regression analyses and tests of indirect effects using bootstrapping showed that ‘procrastination’ and ‘distress aversion’ factors of experiential avoidance mediated the relationship between stress (school, home) and internet/smartphone addiction.
Conclusions: Stress increases internet/smartphone addiction through procrastination or distress aversion in adolescents. Interventions should focus not only on stress but also on experiential avoidance.

Abstract
PDF
The purpose of this study was to investigate how physical activity levels, internet use, and stress/depression differ, based on Body Mass Index (BMI). The study assessed the impact that internet use may have on physical activity, fatness, and mental health, using data from the 2014 Korea Media Panel Survey. The 2014 Korea Media Panel Survey collected data from 6,568 Korean participants, who ranged in age from 19 to 60 years. Data collection addressed BMI, numbers of days per week for physical activity, internet use, and the levels of stress and depression. When participant data was grouped by BMI levels, it was found that the overweight group had significantly higher level of vigorous physical activity, when compared to the normal weight group. The analysis also showed that the obese group had significantly higher levels of vigorous physical activity, when compared to the underweight and normal weight groups. In looking at mental health issues, when compared to normal weight individuals, the obese individuals had significantly higher levels of depression. Higher BMI levels were more likely to be associated with increased internet use, when compared with lower BMI levels, but the amount of increase was non-significant. The indication is that increased levels of internet use might reduce the amount of time spent on daily physical activities, and that reduction could result in an increased BMI and a decreased mental health status. Further studies are needed to better identify the association between internet use, physical activity, and mental health.

Abstract

- The study is designed to compare the degree of alienation as a dimension of human relations between those who have been involving in the computer- mediated communication and those who have not, and to help build a healthy environment for the computer users by finding ways to resolve the problem of alienation. A total of 907 college students completed the questionnaire. To estimate the degree of alienation, we borrowed Seeman's classifications of alienation. According to him, the concept is comprised of 5 sub-types: powerlessness, rnoaninglessness, normlessness, social isolation and self-estrangement. The independent variables are 1) the average time spent in the cyberspace, 2) level of interntet syndrome based on the items made by a notable psychiatrist to diagnose webaholism, and 3) the main purpose of using the computer-mediated communication; whether it is information-acquiring or pleasure-seeking. The degree of depressed feeling, the frequncy of family get-together and satisfaction with family relations, the stability and health of family, and involvement in social activities such as volunteer activities are used as control variables. The results showed that level of 'webaholism' significantly affects the degree of alienation. In other words, excessive indulgence in net activities aggravates a feeling of alienation. This warns possible negative effects of the computer-mediated communication upon the individuals' psychological well-being. In addition, the level of alienation varies with the individual's main purpose of using computer-mediated communication. People who visit internet sites or personal computer network to acquire information for academic of constructive purposes tend to show lower level of alienation. On the contrary, those who use cyberspace for leisure and pleasure reveals higher level of alienation. Interestingly enough, the academic-oriented net users show lower level of alienation than the individuals who do not participate in the computer net activities, This result suggests that network participation may attenuate our feeling of alienation if it is used in positive ways.
