過去文獻中,網路沉迷研究大都從網路使用動機、行為與個人特性等個別角度切入,鮮少注意少年初次使用網路年齡與網路沉迷的關聯性為何。本研究以桃園縣國中生2864個樣本數為分析資料來源,嘗試以發展犯罪學相關理論為依據,探討發展犯罪學中早發性與晚發性少年偏差行為之論點是否也可應用於少年網路沉迷的解釋,並檢驗早晚發網路沉迷者之差異與發展犯罪學理論之關係。透過多元回歸分析、因素分析等分法進行統計分析,研究主要發現如下:1.國中網路沉迷者男生、成績越差者、個性內向、不信任別人者、對外表越不滿意、認為網友、網路很重要者,網路沉迷情況越嚴重。2. 少女早發性沉迷者較晚發性沉迷者比例高,早發沉迷者家境較好,且父母親本身有上網情形較高,網路管制較寬鬆;早發者沉迷者比晚發者沉迷者更不信任別人。本研究認為.網路沉迷與少年早、晚發使用網路行為無顯著關係,結果與發展犯罪學中犯罪與年齡分布關係不同。但家庭背景與網路管制對早、晚發性網路沉迷者之影響力,頗符合發展犯罪學理論中家庭教養是影響少年犯罪重要因素之論點。最後晚發型網路沉迷者之背景與傳統犯罪少年較為類似。 關鍵字:網路沉迷;早發性;晚發性
According to the existing literature, studies of internet addiction are often based on analyses of motive, behavior and personality, but rarely focus on age of first-time use. and internet addiction.. This study uses a sample of 2864 junior high school students in Tao-Yuan county, and examines.the relevance of developmental criminology and other relevant theories for understanding whether early-onset and late-onset deviant behavior could be applied to internet addiction. Analysis of the data is by multivariate regression Analysis and factor Analysis. Results are as follow: 1. Male junior high school internet addicts perform poorly academically, based on school grade, and their personality tends to be introverted and dis-trustful of interpersonal relationships. Moreover, they are dis-satisfied with their future out-look. They generally believe that the internet and those friends online are the most important things in their lives. 2. The rate of the early-onset female addiction is higher than the same-gender late-onset addiction. These early-onset female addicts have well-to-do families, and the rate of parents’ internet use is mutually high. Thus, these female addicts have a relaxed control environment in their use of the internet. In terms of interpersonal relationships, the early-onset addicts are even more dis-trustful than the late-onset addicts. 3. Results suggest that the presupposed relative relationship between internet addiction and the early-onset or late-onset internet use has no obvious connection. Influential factors for early-onset and late-onset addicts are related to family-background and the control environment for internet access. Finally, this research also finds that the late-onset internet addicts share a similar background with juvenile delinquents. Key Word:internet addiction;early onset;late onset
