Major Results of the Research • Actual Status of Over-consumption of Digital System by the Youth - The youth with higher family satisfaction tended to consume more amount of learning-related services while less in game-related services. On the contrary, the youth less satisfied with their parents tended to consume more amount of game-related services. - Considering that youth with better family relationships tended to do digital consumption in a positive way, enhancing parent-children relationship is necessary to reduce over-consumption and abuse of digital system. - Education in terms of permissive consumption tends to prevent youth from recognizing the problem of excessive digital consumption, and rather permits abuse.
