이 연구는 수용전념치료(ACT) 프로그램이 스마트폰 중독을 보이는 대학생의 스마트폰 중독 수준, 자기 조절 및 불안에 미치는 효과를 알아보기 위해 수행되었다. 전북 지역의 대학생 320명 중 SAPS-A에서 40점 이상에 해당된 42명에게 사전 검사로 SCRS, STAI 및 AAQ-16을 실시하였고, 최종 선발된 18명을 ACT 집단과 통제 집단에 각각 9명씩 배정하였다. ACT 프로그램은 8회기로 실시되었고, 프로그램 종료 후 사후 검사 및 4주 후 추적조사가 이루어졌다. 그 결과, ACT 집단은 스마트폰 중독 수준과 불안이 유의하게 감소되었고 추적조사까지 유지되었다. 또한 자기 조절 능력과 수용 행동이 유의하게 증가되었고, 추적조사까지 유지되었다. ACT가 스마트폰 중독 치료, 불안감소 및 자기 조절 능력 향상에 효과가 있었음을 확인할 수 있었고, 이를 바탕으로 ACT를 가정, 학교, 지역 사회 등에서 스마트폰 중독 치료에 적용하는 연구가 필요하겠다.
