Abstract

The present study was designed to examine how much Korean elementary school children used the YouTube, and tested whether the overuse of YouTube might be related to adjustment problems such as low parental warmth, low self-esteem, and low school satisfaction. Two hundred and thirty-eight elementary school students answered a questionnaire enquiring about their YouTube use, parental practice, self-esteem, and school satisfaction. Results indicated that more than half of the participants watched the YouTube at least one hour per day, and 15.6% of them watched the YouTube more than 3 hours per day. Negative relationships between YouTube watching time and parental warmth, self-esteem, and school satisfaction were found. YouTube watching time also partially mediated between parental warmth and adjustment problems. Parental rejection and overprotection were not related to children's YouTube watching time. These study results can be used as seminal data for developing children's YouTube watching guidelines.

본 연구는 초등학생의 유튜브 이용실태와 동기를 확인하고, 유튜브 이용과 부모양육태도, 자아존중감, 학교생활만족도와의 관계를 규명하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 초등학교 4, 5, 6학년 재학생 238명을 대상으로 유튜브 사용량과 동기, 부모 양육태도, 자아존중감, 학교생활만족도를 측정하였다. 연구 결과, 조사 대상 초등학생의 과반수는 하루에 1시간 이상 유튜브를 이용하고 있으며, 전체의 15.6%는 하루에 3시간 이상 유튜브를 이용한다고 응답해, 초등학생들의 상당 수가 매우 적극적으로 유튜브를 사용하고 있음이 드러났다. 유튜브 이용빈도가 높을수록 부모의 애정, 자아존중감, 학교생활 만족도는 낮은 편이었다. 또 부모의 애정적 양육태도는 초등학생의 유튜브 이용빈도를 부분매개하여 적응에 영향을 미치는 것으로 드러났다. 반면 거부적 양육태도 및 과보호적 양육태도의 경우 유튜브 사용량과 큰 관련성이 없었으며, 매개효과도 발견되지 않았다. 본 연구의 결과는 초등학생의 과도한 유튜브 이용의 구체적인 심리적 악영향을 밝힌 국내 최초의 경험적 연구로, 초등학생의 유튜브 이용에 대한 적절한 가이드라인이 필요함을 시사하였다. 또한 아동의 유튜브 이용에 있어서도 부모의 양육태도가 관여할 수 있음을 보여주었다.
