Abstract
The purpose of this study is to find ways to protect, treat, and prevent the risks of Internet gambling by considering the personal and social environmental characteristics of youth among various social problems in modern society. To achieve the purpose, a total survey was conducted focusing on master's and doctoral theses and academic journals published in Korea from 2018 to March 2023, and a total of 68 papers were analyzed by percentage. As a result, first, the trend by year was the highest with 16 in 2018, and the largest number of academic papers was 12 in 2021, and research is continuing. Second, the most common status by research subject was 43 papers targeting middle and high school students, and 44 research studies by research method type. Third, the trend by research topic was in the order of problem gambling, gambling behavior, gambling addiction, and gambling experience, and the subtype of each research topic was irrational gambling beliefs. Fourth, positive correlations among gambling influencing factors include irrational beliefs, stress, family conflict, and parental neglect, while negative correlations include self-esteem, ego resilience, and family cohesion. A limitation of this study is that it failed to consider various research methods as it was an analysis of existing research on youth internet gambling. In follow-up research, there will be a need to research and develop regulations, preventive measures, and treatment programs related to Internet gambling in a customized manner suitable for various targets.
