Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore factors associated with smartphone dependence among adults in their 20s. The data were derived from the 2017 Survey on Smartphone Over-dependence conducted by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the National Information Society Agency. There were 3,684 participants. The data were analyzed by frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, independent t-test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and weighted hierarchical multiple regression analysis. For the results, factors related with higher smartphone dependence of participants were duration (β=.18, p=.000) and frequency (β=.04, p=.000) of usage, gaming (β=.15, p=.000), watching videos (β=.09, p=.000), mobile shopping (β=.05, p=.000), working (β=.05, p=.010), e-mailing (β=.13, p=.000), and sports betting (β=.07, p=.000). Music (β=-.07, p=.000) and adult content (β=-.07, p=.000) significantly reduced their smartphone dependence. SNS (Social Networking Services) (β=.01, p=.358) and instant messengers (β=-.02, p=.330) were not factors related to smartphone dependence. However, instant messengers were the most used by participants and had a strong correlation with working (r=.55, p=.000). This study shows that smartphone usage patterns related with smartphone dependence among adults in their 20s are different from those of children and adolescents. These results could be used to more deeply understand smartphone dependence among adults in their 20s and plan early detection and prevention and care of dependence.

본 연구는 20대 성인의 스마트폰 의존 관련 요인을 확인하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 본 연구를 위하여 2017년 과학기술정보통신부와 한국정보화진흥원에서 실시한 스마트폰 과의존 실태조사 중 20대, 3,684명의 자료를 분석하였다. 자료분석은 빈도와 백분율, 평균과 표준편차, 독립표본 T 검증, Pearson 상관관계, 가중치를 적용한 위계적 다중 회귀분석을 사용하였다. 그 결과, 대상자들은 스마트폰 의존도가 증가할수록 스마트폰 사용시간(β=.18, p=.000)과 빈도(β=.04, p=.000), 게임(β=.15, p=.000), 영상시청(β=.09, p=.000), 모바일 쇼핑(β=.05, p=.000), 업무(β=.05, p=.010), 이메일(β=.13, p=.000), 스포츠 배팅(β=.07, p=.000)이 유의하게 증가하였다. 반면, 스마트폰으로 음악을 듣는 것(β=-.07, p=.000), 성인물 사용(β=-.07, p=.000)은 스마트폰 의존을 감소시키는 요인이었고, SNS(Social Networking Services)(β=.01, p=.358)와 메신저(β=-.02, p=.330)는 스마트폰 의존도의 유의한 관련 요인이 아니었다. 그러나 메신저는 대상자들이 가장 많이 사용하는 앱 유형이었고, 업무와 강한 상관관계를 가졌다(r=.55, p=.000). 본 연구를 통하여 20대 성인의 스마트폰 의존과 관련된 스마트폰 사용행태가 아동이나 청소년과 차이가 있음이 확인되었다. 이러한 결과는 20대 성인의 스마트폰 의존을 올바로 이해하고, 의존 조기발견과 예방 및 관리에 활용할 수 있을 것이다.
