Abstract

The objective of the present study was to identify the factors influencing the smartphone addiction among college students and to obtain basic information in terms of enhancing proper use of the smartphone. Based on the previous literature with constructs of depression, aggression, self-control and smartphone addiction, a research model was prepared. A total of 332 students were selected from 5 universities in G Metropolitan City and collected data were analyzed through hierarchical multiple regression. The major results of the study were as follows. First, self-control was the most powerful predictor of smartphone addiction. Second, anger caused smartphone addiction to increase whereas social experience caused smartphone addiction to decrease. Third, depression did not cause smartphone addiction to increase. Finally, implications for preventing and decreasing the smartphone addiction among college students were also provided.

본 연구의 목적은 대학생의 스마트폰 중독에 영향을 미치는 요인을 규명함으로써 스마트폰의 건전한 이용을 장려하는 데 유용한 기초정보를 획득하는 것이다. 연구목적을 달성하기 위해 선행연구 고찰의 결과를 바탕으로 우울, 공격성, 자기통제력이 스마트폰 중독에 미치는 영향을 검증하는 연구모형을 구축하였다. 설문조사를 통해 자료를 수집하였으며, G광역시 5개 대학교 재학생 집단으로부터 회수된 설문지 332부를 통계분석하였다. 주요 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 스마트폰 중독에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요인은 자기통제력으로 확인되었다. 둘째, 공격성의 하위요인 중 분노성향은 스마트폰 중독을 높이는 반면, 대학생활적응의 하위요인 중 사회체험은 스마트폰 중독을 낮추는 것으로 조사되었다. 셋째, 우울은 스마트폰 중독에 직접적으로 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 분석되었다. 끝으로, 이와 같은 분석결과를 바탕으로 대학생의 스마트폰 중독의 예방 및 감소를 위한 이론적·실천적 함의를 제시하였다.
