The purpose of this study was to explore the structural relationships among duration of media use, behavior problems, and school adjustment, while accounting for gender differences. Methods: The study used 4th-wave panel data from the Korean Children and Youth Panel Study, and 2,119 first graders in elementary school were analyzed. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling. Results: The results can be summarized as follows. First, the duration of media use had a direct effect on school adjustment. Secondly, the duration of media use had an indirect effect on school adjustment through internalizing and externalizing problems. According to multigroup analysis, gender differences were found in the structural relations among variables. Conclusion: This study emphasizes the needs for media usage education to improve children's school adjustment. Furthermore, it suggests that different intervention strategies for internalizing/ externalizing behavior problems are needed depending on gender.

et al. 2015

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among Korean early adolescents' perceived negative parenting practices, trajectories of mobile phone dependency(MPD), and self-regulated learning(SRL), while taking into account gender differences. Early adolescents are required to acquire self-regulation in Korean cultural contexts of a strong emphasis on academic achievement and recent technological advancements. The study made use of data from the Korean Children and Youth Panel Study(KCYPS), and three waves of data collected from 1,953 adolescents in 7 th , 8 th and 9 th grade were analyzed. The results can be summarized as follows. Growth-curve longitudinal analysis indicates that their initial value of MPD through 7 th to 9 th grade had increased, but the initial value and rate of change were significantly different according to gender. Furthermore, the results of multiple group analysis revealed that some path weights appeared different according to * 본 논문은 서울대학교 생활과학대학 부속 생활과학연구소로부터 일부 연구비를 지원받아 수행된 연구임.

Objectives: This study examined the influences of parent-adolescent relationship quality and parental controlling behavior on cyberbullying perpetration among Korean middle school students, and whether cyberbullying victimization has a mediating effect in this relationship. Methods: The participants of this study were 423 students (192 boys, 231 girls) from five middle schools located in Seoul, Incheon, and Gyeong-gi area. To measure the research variables, Bullying/ Victimization Questionnaire (Campfield, 2008), Parental Monitoring Instrument (Y. Kim, 2012) and Korean version of the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (Yoo, Park, & Hwang, 2010) were used. The data were analyzed by means of descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation, and structural equation modeling. Results: The results of this study were as follows. First, a higher rate of cyberbullying perpetration was related to lower parent-adolescent relationship quality and higher parental controlling behavior, cyberbullying victimization, and internet use. Second, cyberbullying victimization mediated the effects of parent-adolescent relationship quality and parental controlling behavior on cyberbullying perpetration among Korean middle school students. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that interventions for cyberbullying victims are important as well as parental role at home as a means to prevent or reduce cyberbullying perpetration among Korean middle school students.
