Abstract

The development of ICT has promoted the infusion of 'social,' which is not only 'personal,' but also strengthens social connection and communication; and SNS lies in the center of the infusion. Although SNS has been positioning itself as a significant domain in our lives based on the developed technologies, such as openness, extendibility and real-time, it has caused social concerns due to unexpected side effects. Therefore, this study aims to identify the stressors causing SNS stress and the factors influencing discontinuance of SNS. As a result, 5 factors including 'techno-overload,' 'techno-invasion,' 'techno-insecurity,' 'techno-complexity' and 'pace of change' were found to be SNS stressors. It is thought that this study would provide an academic implication for the future studies of stress and discontinuance related to SNS and a guideline for establishing practical strategies.

정보통신기술들(information and communication technology: ICT)의 진화는 우리의 의사소통과 커뮤니케이션 문화를 변모시키며 사이버커뮤니케이션 시대로의 촉진을 유인하고 있다. ICT 발달에 따라 '퍼스널'하면서도 사회적 연결과 소통을 강화시킨 '소셜'의 융합이 촉진되고 있으며, 그 중심에 소셜네트워크서비스(social network service: SNS)가 있다. SNS는 개방성, 확장성, 실시간성 등과 같은 발달된 기술을 배경으로 우리생활에 중요한 영역으로 자리매김하고 있지만, 예기치 못했던 부작용으로 사회적 우려를 낳고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 SNS스트레스를 발생시키는 요인인 스트레서(stressor)를 파악하고 사용중단의도에 미치는 영향을 실증하는 것을 주요목적으로 하였다. 연구결과, '정보과부하', '사생활침해', '사용불안', '사용복잡', '빠른 변화속도'가 SNS스트레스 영향요인으로 나타났다. 그리고 SNS스트레스는 사용중단의도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구는 개인적 차원의 테크노스트레스 및 SNS사용중단의도에 관한 논의를 확장시키고 실무적 가이드라인을 제공한다는 점에서 의의를 찾을 수 있다.
