The purposes of the present study were to identify the subgroups (i.e., latent profiles) in the motivations of adolescents’ use of computers and to test the effects of eco-system variables on determining these latent profiles. To achieve these research objectives, we applied latent profile analysis to data harvested from the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey. Our results indicated that there were four latent classes, which could be defined based on their response patterns; the communication-based group, the low-level using group, the intermediate-level using group, the risky group. By testing the effects of eco-system variables, all variables, (with the exception of parental control), parental attachment, and the relationship with teachers were found to be significant determinants of the latent profiles. These findings will be helpful in designing intervention programs for the use of computers and to prevent delinquency related to excessive computer use.
