본 연구는 고등학생의 진로결정효능감과 인터넷 과다사용의 관계에서 학교생활적응의 조절효과를 검증하고자 하였다. 연구를 위해 서울, 경기, 대전 지역 5개 고등학교의 학생 441명으로부터 한국형 인터넷 중독 청소년 자가진단 척도, 진로결정효능감 척도, 학교생활적응 척도를 사용하여 자료를 수집하였다. 진로결정효능감과 학교생활적응이 인터넷 과다사용에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 SPSS 20 프로그램을 사용하여 위계적 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 학교생활적응보다 진로결정효능감이 더 큰 영향력이 있었고, 학교생활적응이 진로결정효능감과 인터넷 과다사용의 관계를 유의하게 조절하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 고등학생들의 진로결정효능감과 인터넷 과다사용의 관계를 심도있게 이해하고자 하였고 이를 통해 고등학생들의 인터넷 과다사용의 예방을 위한 개입 전략을 수립하는데 유용한 시사점을 제공하였다는 데 의의가 있다. 끝으로 본 연구의 제한점과 후속연구를 위한 제언을 논의하였다.
The present study examined the moderation effect of Adaptability of School Life in the relationship between Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy and Internet Overuse in high school students. A survey was collected from 441 high school students across 5 different schools located in Seoul, Gyonggi, Daejun areas using a Korean internet addiction self-diagnosis scale, self-identity scale, career decision-making self-efficacy scale, and adaptability of school life scale. In order to find the influence of Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy and Adaptability of School Life on Internet overuse, a hierarchical regression analysis was applied. As a result, Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy was found to be more efficacious than Adaptability of School Life. Also, the result showed that the relation between Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy and Internet Overuse was moderated by Adaptability of School Life. The study revealed the relation between Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy and Internet Overuse in high school students. Furthermore, the results suggested that an intervention strategy focusing an enhancing school adaptation can prevent Internet Overuse. Lastly, the implications and limitations of the research was discussed.
