Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine how social motivation, functional motivation, playful motivation, and psychological motivation affect SNS user satisfaction in order to find out what factors are important to Korean high school students in using SNS. As a result, playful motives, functional motives, and psychological motives except social motives have an effect on SNS user satisfaction, and this satisfaction has a positive effect on students' value formation. These results suggest that the reason why Korean high school students use SNS is that they need it and enjoy it, that is, they use SNS from a personal point of view, and are not related to social phenomena. However, social motives were found to have a positive effect on functional and playful motives. In other words, various social phenomena, which are social motives, provide an opportunity and theme for the use of SNS, and functional motives have positive effects on playful and psychological motives. In other words, the various functions provided by SNS have a positive effect on the selection and use of SNS.

본 연구는 우리나라의 고등학생들이 SNS를 사용시 중요시하는 요인이 무엇인지를 알아보기 위하여 사회적 동기, 기능적 동기, 유희적 동기, 심리적 동기가 SNS 이용만족도에 어떠한 영향을 주며 이러한 만족도는 가치관에 어떠한 영향을 주는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 그 결과 사회적 동기를 제외한 유희적 동기, 기능적 동기, 심리적 동기가 SNS 이용만족도에 어떠한 영향을 주며 이러한 만족도는 학생들의 가치관 형성에 긍정적인 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 우리나라의 고교생들이 SNS를 사용하는 이유는 자신들이 필요로 하고 자신들이 즐거워하는 즉 개인적인 관점에서 SNS를 사용하는 것이지 사회적 현상 등과는 관계가 없다라고 할 수 있다. 하지만 사회적 동기는 기능적 동기, 유희적 동기에 긍정적인 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 즉 사회적 동기인 여러가지 사회적 현상은 청소년들이 SNS를 사용하는 계기 및 주제를 제공한다고 할 수 있으며 기능적 동기는 유희적 동기와 심리적 동기에 긍정적인 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 즉 SNS가 제공하는 여러 다양한 기능이 SNS를 선택하여 사용하는데 긍정적인 작용을 한다는 결과를 도출하였다.
