본 연구는 일부 고등학생의 스마트폰 이용실태를 파악하고, 스마트폰 중독정도에 따른 정신건강 및 충동성의 차이 및 스마트폰 중독과 정신건강 및 충동성과의 관계를 파악하기 위해 시도되었다. 고등학교 1, 2학년 804명의 자료를 최종 분석하였으며 중독 척도 총점 상위 25%를 중독점수가 높은 집단(213명)으로, 하위 25%를 중독점수가 낮은 집단(204명)으로 정의하였다. 학생들은 성별, 학년, 학습성취, 학교생활 만족, 용돈, 부모의 신뢰 수준, 이성 친구 유무에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었다. 스마트폰 중독은 정신건강과 유의한 순 상관관계를 보였으며 정신건강 하부요인인 불안, 우울, 신체화, 강박, 대인민감성, 적대감, 편집성에서 모두 유의한 정적상관을 보였고 그 중 불안이 가장 높은 상관관계를 보였다. 또한 스마트폰 중독은 충동성에서도 유의한 상관이 있는 것으로 나타났으며 정신건강과 충동성의 관계에서도 정적상관이 있는 것으로 확인되었다.
