Abstract

This study investigated how parents` parenting attitude and youth`s subjective class identification influence on game addiction. Total 177 youths from 16 to 24 participated an online survey. According to the results, parents` excessive expectation and youths` high level of self-control were associated with low level of game addiction. We divided a total into two groups; low subjective class identification group vs. high subjective class identification group based on the subjective class identification(SCI) scores. In low SCI group, excessive expectation and high level of self-control were associated with low level of game addiction. On the contrary, in high SCI group, only interference was associated with low level of game addiction. Parents` certain parenting attitude variables and individuals` level of SCI is strongly related to addictive use of game media and other various type of new media.
