Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to examine the causal relationship between aggression and mobile phone dependency among high school students and to test the mediating effect of self-esteem, and to draw out implications in order to encourage proper use of mobile phone. In this paper, we proposed a research model between aggression, self-esteem and mobile phone dependency. The present study analyzed the fourth, fifth, and sixth wave data from KCYPS 2010, using the structural equation modeling. The primary results were as follows. First, the effect of high school students' aggression on mobile phone dependency was not significant. Second, high school students' aggression had a significantly negative effect on self-esteem. Third, high school students' self-esteem had a significantly positive effect on mobile phone dependency. Fourth, high school students' self-esteem could be a significant mediator between aggression and mobile phone dependency. In conclusion, theoretical and practical suggestions were discussed in order to solve the problem of adolescents' mobile phone dependency.

본 연구의 목적은 공격성이 휴대전화 의존에 미치는 영향력을 파악하고, 이 두 변수 사이에서 자아존중감이 매개변수로 기능하고 있는지 확인함으로써 휴대전화 의존 문제에 개입하기 위한 기초자료를 획득하는 것이다. 본 연구자료는 한국아동 청소년패널조사 제4차년도, 제5차년도, 제6차년도 자료이다. 주요 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 고등학생의 공격성이 휴대전화 의존에 미치는 영향은 유의하지 않았다. 둘째, 고등학생의 공격성은 자아존중감을 유의하게 낮추는 것으로 확인되었다. 셋째, 고등학생의 자아존중감은 휴대전화 의존을 유의하게 높이는 것으로 확인되었다. 넷째, 고등학생의 자아존중감은 공격성과 휴대전화 의존 사이에서 유의한 매개변수의 역할을 수행하는 것으로 확인되었다. 결론적으로, 청소년의 공격성과 자아존중감 문제에 대한 개입을 통해 휴대전화 의존 문제를 예방하거나 완화할 수 있는 방안에 대하여 논의하였다.
