Abstract

Purpose: This study was done to develop a cell phone addiction scale for Korean parents of young children, and to evaluate the reliability and validity of the developed scale. Methods: The scale was developed through construction of a conceptual framework, generation of initial items, verification of content validity, selection of secondary items, preliminary study, and extraction of final items. Participants were 465 parents and 178 children. Data were analyzed using item analysis, factor analysis, criterion related validity, internal consistency, and split-half reliability. Results: Twenty items were categorized into three factors explaining 60.3% of total variance. Factors were named as withdrawal - 4 items, loss of control - 9 items, and persistence - 7 items. Scores for the scale were significantly correlated with self-control, impulsiveness, cell phone use, and cell phone addiction of children as measured by a scale for Korean children. Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the 20 items was .94, and Guttman coefficient was .87. Scale scores identified children as high risk users, at risk users, or average users by standard scores. Conclusion: The results suggest that the cell phone addiction scale for Korean parents is a reliable and valid instrument to measure cell phone addiction in young children.

목적 본 연구의 목적은 아동의 휴대전화 중독 사정을 위한 부모용 도구를 개발하고, 개발된 도구의 신뢰도와 타당도를 검정하는 것이다. 방법 아동의 휴대전화 중독 사정에 대한 개념적 기틀 설정, 예비 문항 작성, 내용 타당도 검정 및 사전 조사를 통해 최종 20문항을 구성하였고, 초등학교 1-6학년 아동의 부모 465명과 4-6학년 아동 178명을 대상으로 구성타당도, 준거타당도, 신뢰도 검정을 하였다. 결과 문항분석 결과 해당문항 제외 시 ${\alpha}$값의 변화가 .92-.93의 범위였고, corrected item-total correlation 계수가 .50-.76의 범위였다. 요인분석 결과 금단, 통제력 상실, 집착의 세 요인이 추출되었고, 세 요인의 설명변량은 60.30%였다. 준거타당도 검정 결과 휴대전화 중독은 자기통제력과 역상관 관계가 있었고, 아동이 응답한 휴대전화 중독, 충동성, 문자메시지 발신 및 수신횟수, 통화횟수 및 시간과 순상관 관계가 있었다. 신뢰도 검정 결과 Cronbach's ${\alpha}$가 .94였고, 반분법에 의한 Guttman의 신뢰도 계수가 .87이었다. 휴대전화 중독 정도를 평가하는 기준으로 표준점수를 활용하여 70점 이상이면 휴대전화 고위험사용군, 63점 이상이고 70점 미만이면 위험사용군, 63점 미만이면 일반사용군으로 구분하였다. 결론 아동의 휴대전화 중독 사정을 위한 부모용 도구는 신뢰도와 타당도가 높은 도구로 아동의 휴대전화 중독을 조기 발견하고, 적합한 중재를 개발하여 제공하며, 중재 효과를 평가하는 데에 활용할 수 있을 것이다.
