Abstract

With the increasing access to and ownership of computer-mediated devices among children and youth nowadays, it is important to understand the determinants associated with their participation in deviant activities online. The current study extends prior research by utilizing a South Korean adolescent sample and multivariate analyses in order to explore the theoretical and demographic correlates of multiple types of cyber deviance – media and software piracy, computer hacking, and online harassment. Findings reveal that low self-control and deviant peer association are related to specific forms of cyber deviance. Additionally, this study illustrates that while time spent online engaging activities is associated with youth participation in deviant behaviors online, smartphone ownership did not have an effect on their deviance. Implications for research and policy are discussed.
