Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the factors affecting smartphone addiction of university students and to provide the data for developing intervention program of smartphone addiction prevention. The data were collected from 354 university students and analyzed with t-test and multiple regression by using SPSS 18.0 program. The smartphone addiction rate was 27.4%, which the high risk group rate was 6.2% and potential risk group rate was 21.2%. The significant factors of smartphone addiction were gender(${\beta}=0.149$, p<.001), average daily using time in week(${\beta}=0.292$, p=.001), average daily using time in weekend(${\beta}=0.390$, p<.001), wrist pain in using smartphone(${\beta}=0.148$, p<.001), accident in using smartphone(${\beta}=0.133$, p=.002), sociality(${\beta}=-0.099$, p=.029), impulsiveness(${\beta}=0.211$, p<.001), SNS addiction(${\beta}=0.376$, p<.001). And these factors explained 43.3% of the variance in smartphone addiction. In conclusion, the results from this study indicated a need to develop the intervention program to prevent smartphone addiction considering these factors affecting smartphone addiction.

본 연구는 대학생의 스마트폰 중독에 영향을 미치는 요인을 규명하여 스마트폰 중독예방을 위한 효과적인 중재프로그램을 개발하는데 기초자료를 제공하고자 수행되었다. 자료는 2013년 4월 29일부터 5월 16일까지 대학생 354명으로부터 수집되었으며 수집된 자료는 t-test와 다중회귀분석으로 분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 스마트폰 고위험 사용자군은 6.2%, 잠재적위험 사용자군은 21.2%로 스마트폰 중독률이 27.4%로 나타났다. 대학생 스마트폰 중독에 영향을 미치는 요인을 조사해본 결과, 일반적 특성에는 성별, 주중 및 주말 일 평균 스마트폰 사용시간, 스마트폰 사용 중 손목통증 유무, 스마트폰 사용 중 사고 유무, 주요변수에서는 사회성, 충동성, SNS 중독이 스마트폰 중독의 영향요인으로 나타났다. 즉, 여학생일수록(${\beta}=0.149$, p<.001), 주중 일 평균 스마트폰 사용시간이 많을수록(${\beta}=0.292$, p=.001), 주말 일 평균 스마트폰 사용시간이 많을수록(${\beta}=0.390$, p<.001), 스마트폰 사용 중 손목통증이 있을수록(${\beta}=0.148$, p<.001), 스마트폰 사용 중 사고가 있을수록(${\beta}=0.133$, p=.002), 사회성이 낮을수록(${\beta}=-0.099$, p=.029), 충동성이 높을수록(${\beta}=0.211$, p<.001), SNS 중독 정도가 높을수록(${\beta}=0.376$, p<.001) 대학생 스마트폰 중독 가능성이 높은 것으로 예측되었으며 모형 설명력은 43.3%였다. 따라서 대학생 스마트폰 중독을 효과적으로 예방하기 위해서는 이러한 영향 변인들을 고려하여 중독정도에 따른 차별화된 중재전략을 개발 적용하는 것이 필요하다.
