“…Studies have shown that adolescents whose school life is satisfactory are less likely to develop Internet addiction (Y.-R. Kweon & Kim, 2014;Rehbein & Baier, 2013). Kweon and Park (2012) have reported that adoption of school rules and having good relations with peers and teachers are an important protective factor against Internet addiction in children (Kweon & Park, 2012). In our study, children who don't go to school, despite being at the school age, had higher Internet addiction scores in line with the literature.…”

“…While the score for school life adjustment rarely differed with the odds ratio of 1.04 between the group at risk of Internet game addiction and the non-addiction group, the inter-group mean difference was statistically significant. This supports the finding that the lower the level of school life adjustment and the greater the difficulty with peer relationships, the higher the risk of Internet game addiction [7,10].…”

“…According to research on the Internet addiction status for adolescents, as released by a South Korean government agency in 2012, adolescents in multicultural families (12.3%) were more likely to become addicted to Internet than adolescents in general (10.7%) while elementary school children (30.1%) were more likely to become addicted to Internet than middle school students (25%). In particular, Internet-related problems for elementary school children in the transition period from childhood to adolescence can cause social maladjustment, which involves anxiety, frustration, and fear, as well as problem behaviors [6] and become chronic, unless treated properly, which may lead to juvenile delinquency [7]. It is therefore necessary to conduct research on the possibility of Internet games addiction among elementary school children who start to use Internet; in particular, it is necessary to investigate the risk of Internet game addiction among children in multicultural families with the objective of preventing and managing Internet game addiction.…”

With the activation of international exchanges, South Korea is in the transition period from a homogeneous country to a multiracial and multicultural one. As the tertiary industry became a primary industry in the 1990s, South Korea saw local manufacturing and production manpower decrease and accepted foreign workers to solve this problem. In the 2000s, social avoidance of marriage with men in the primary industry led to a drastic increase in the number of international marriages [1]. According to the statistical report made by Ministry of Gender Equality and Family in 2015, the number of Married immigrants, naturalized person in South Korea is estimated at 304,516, which increased 7.52% compared to in 2012. However, multicultural families in South Korea have lots of problems to solve due to different cultures and living habits compared with general families. Such problems can affect children in

This study investigated the protective or risk factors of game addiction at individual and school‐level using multilevel modelling. Data from Korea Children and Youth Panel Survey was used for the analyses. The findings revealed that individual‐level variables, including gender, delinquency, family intimacy, stress, self‐esteem and self‐control, were significant predictors of game addiction. Furthermore, protective school climate contributed to decreasing the level of game addiction and risky school climates positively predicted game addiction. The effect of individual‐level variables on game addiction was different depending on the type or level of school‐level variables. Based on the findings, implications and suggestions for future studies were discussed.
