Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the differences of the mobile phone overuse by gender and school levels. For this study, 565 middle and high school students in Gyeonggi province answered the self-report survey, 253 students were extracted as an overuse group, and the data were analyzed by one-way MANOVA. The results showed that 'daily disturbance' was a common major factor in gender and school level difference and 'school life disturbance', 'with draw' and 'tolerance' were added in school level difference. Based on the results, this study suggested users' characteristics such as gender and school level should be taken into prevention and treatment of mobile phone overuse.

이 연구의 목적은 청소년의 성별과 학교급별 휴대전화 과다사용의 차이를 규명하는 것이다. 연구를 위해 경기도 소재의 남녀공학 중 고등학교를 각 1개씩 편의표집하고, 휴대전화 과다사용을 측정하는 자기보고식 검사지를 이용하여 자료 수집하였으며, 565명의 자료 중 휴대전화 과다사용 수준이 표본 평균보다 높은 253명을 추출하여 일원다변량분산분석을 통해 연구문제를 검증하였다. 다변량분산분석결과가 통계적으로 유의하였다. 추가적인 단변량 분석 결과에서 성별에 따른 차이는 '일상생활장애'와 '내성' 요인에, 학교급에 따른 차이는 '학교생활장애', '일상생활장애', '긍정적기대' 요인에 대한 차이가 통계적으로 유의하였다. 단계적 분석을 적용할 경우 성별 차이는 '일상생활장애'에서, 학교급별 차이는 '긍정적기대'를 제외한 4개 요인에서 통계적 유의성이 나타났다. 연구결과를 통해 휴대전화 과다사용 예방과 치료에 있어서 성별과 학교급과 같은 사용자의 기본 특성이 고려되어야 함을 논의하였다.
