Abstract

Advanced InformationTechnology brings not only good effects but also bad effects to people’s lives. In this paper, we analyze the relationship between Korean Information Culture Index (KICI) and the Internet and mobile phone addiction for Korean adolescent. KICI represents a quantitative value that measures people’s information literacy levels. Thus, KICI measures how well people use the Internet, whereas the Internet and mobile phone addiction levels represent how badly people use them. In order to achieve our research goal, we firstly diagnose KICI and the Internet and mobile phone addiction level of Korean adolescent by using our questionnaire. Next, we analyze the relationships between KICI and the two addiction levels with regression analysis to see how KICI affects the two addictions. We also find out which questions are more influential to Korean adolescent in KICI measurement. Finally, we propose a better educational way to improve KICI level and to decrease the two addiction levels for Korean adolescent.
