Abstract

The purpose of this study is to empirically reveal the relationship between cyber ethic education and cyber-violence for teenagers. Recently, the government has provided various youth cyber ethic education, and it has not been sufficiently verified whether these efforts have actually led to the prevention of cyber-violence. Therefore, this study focused on confirming the relationship between cyber ethic education and youth cyber-violence using data from 'Survey on Cyber Violence and Adolescents' collected by Korean Institute of criminology and justice. As a study using secondary data, this data includes a total of 5,358 youth data. As a result of examining the data by independent sample t-test and multiple regression analysis, it was found that adolescents who experienced cyber ethic education had significantly lower scores (average) of cyber-violence than general youth groups who did not. However, as a result of conducting multiple regression analysis after controlling mental and psychological factors, social and relational factors, technical factors, and demographic factors corresponding to youth cyber-violence factors, it was confirmed that the cyber ethic education experience did not significantly affect the cyber-violence. In conclusion, a new level of cyber violence prevention activities and education is needed that consider non-educational factors such as poor companions and interrelationships between peer groups, along with a re-examination of cyber ethic education in the future.
