Abstract

This study examined the moderating effects of gender on the effects of anxiety and depression on college students' smartphone addiction. For this purpose, 331 students in Gyeonggi province were conducted a survey, and a structural equation modeling was used. The results showed that female had higher levels of anxiety, depression, and smartphone addiction than male. Second, the analysis of structural equation modeling to investigate the effect of anxiety and depression on smartphone addiction revealed that depression affects smartphone addiction. Third, gender had a moderating effect on the effects of anxiety and depression on smartphone addiction. Anxiety affected male, while depression worked on female. Based on the results of this study, it was discussed that different approaches are needed depending on gender in preventing and intervention for smartphone addiction.

본 연구는 대학생의 불안과 우울이 스마트폰 중독에 미치는 영향에 있어서 성별의 조절효과를 검증하는데 있으며, 이를 위해 임의 표본추출한 경기지역 대학생 331명을 대상으로한 설문 결과에 대해 구조방정식모형을 설계하고 검증하였다. 연구 결과, 여학생이 남학생보다 불안, 우울, 스마트폰 중독 수준이 유의미하게 높은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 불안과 우울이 스마트폰 중독에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위한 구조방정식 모형 분석 결과, 우울이 스마트폰 중독에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 불안, 우울이 스마트폰 중독에 미치는 영향에 대해 성별이 조절효과를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 남학생은 불안이, 여학생은 우울이 스마트폰 중독에 영향을 미쳤다. 본 연구 결과를 토대로 스마트폰 중독을 예방하고 중재하는데 있어서 성별에 따라 다른 접근이 필요함을 논의하였다.
