Abstract
I researched how the three needs like as autonomy, relatedness and competence are applied in the self-determination theory in addiction-related counseling. Addiction-related clients do not have to visit voluntary in counseling center. Even visiting, it is difficult to experience the counseling outcome because of low motivation about concentration of commitment and change in counseling. As a result, the counseling is early terminated in many cases. So one of most important skills for the counselor, who counsels addiction-related client, is understanding of motivation and resistance of client in the initial counseling.. I expect this study to be basic research for counselors to apply these three needs in the self-determination theory in counseling field.
Abstract
The main purpose of this study was to examine whether the process of Smart phone addiction accords with Baumeister's escape from self theory among Korean adolescents. Escape theory has been made good use of accounting operating mechanism and causal link of diverse factors that lead to ultimate self-destructive behavior. For this purpose, this study analyzed the effects of attachment trauma, self-esteem, depression, self-regulation on Smart phone addiction, each stage corresponds with 'Escape Theory Model'. Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey(2014) data were analyzed by means of Pearson's correlation, and path analysis by the use of SPSS 19.0, Amos 18.0. Subject of analysis was 1,851 2nd grade students in high school who answered having Smart phone. The results of this study are as follows. First, Smart phone addiction has significant positive, negative correlations with all other variables. Especially, self-regulation showed highest correlation with Smart phone addiction. Second, results of path analysis with domestic data indicated that the 'original escape theory model' produced a good fit to the data. Consistent with escape theory, a path model yielded significant paths from attachment trauma to self-esteem, self-esteem to depression, depression to self-regulation, self-regulation to Smart phone addiction. Third, results of path analysis with domestic data indicated that the modified 'alternative model(depression precedes low self-esteem)', produced a good fit to the data than a original model. This path model yielded significant paths from attachment trauma to depression, depression to self-esteem, self-esteem to self-regulation, self-regulation to Smart phone addiction. Based on these results, not only Smart phone addiction of Korean adolescents can be explained as self-destructive behavior by escape theory, but also the stages and orders of escape model can appear in different guises in different cultures. Therefore, emotion-focused prevention and treatment preceding cognitive factor for Smart phone addiction would be more effective for Korean adolescents. In conclusion, this study suggests a useful and practical method for conducting interventions for the Smart phone addiction of youth.
