ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to explore the causal relationships among internet game addiction, peer relationships, and self-esteem of adolescents. For this, total of 625 middle and high school students participated in the survey at three time points, and their responses were analyzed using latent autoregressive cross-lagged modeling. The results are as follows: 1) Peer relationship seemed to be significantly affected by self-esteem and internet game addiction levels from the previous time point. 2) Self-esteem was significantly influenced by internet game addiction but not by peer relationships from the previous time point. 3) Effects of self-esteem and peer relationships from previous points on game addiction were found to be statistically insignificant. These findings are inconsistent with the causal relationships which most previous cross-sectional studies established and provides a new perspective on the causal relationships among the variables.
