Abstract

Friendships play a very important role during high school. However, unstable friendship quality can induce negative problems such as psycho-emotional problems. This problem can be highlighted based on the characteristics of high school girls who consider the psycho-emotional aspects of friendships more than men do. This study was aimed to analyze the effect of level of quality of friendship on the level of smartphone overdependence of female high school students. Study subjects were 51 female high school students attending the W high school in J city. The assessment of quality of friendship was used by Korean ver. of Friendship Quality Questionnaire. The quality of friendship is 21 items, and the higher the score on a 5-point scale, the higher the quality of friendship. The assessment of smartphone overdependence was used by Smartphone Overdependence Scale. Smartphone overdependence has 10 questions, and a high score on a 4-point scale means a high level of smartphone overdependence. As the results, the negative effect (-) of the level of the quality of friendship on the level of smartphone overdependence. These results indicated that if the level of quality of friendship increase, the level of smrtphone overdependence decrease. Thus, in the process of educational and practical approach for the female high school student, these results should be considered and the approach to improve the quality of friendship should be needed. In follow-up studies, it is necessary to expand the range of subjects and compare and analyze them with various subject groups. In-depth analysis studies should be conducted considering various variables that can affect the relationship between smartphone overdependence and the quality of friend relationships.

고등학생의 시기에서는 대인관계가 매우 중요한 역할을 수행한다. 하지만, 불안정한 대인관계는 심리정서적 문제를 유발하는 등 부정적 문제를 유발할 수 있다. 대인관계에 있어 심리정서적 측면을 남성보다 더 고려하는 여자 고등학생들의 특성에 기초하여 이러한 문제는 두드러질 수 있다. 본 연구는 여자 고등학생들의 대인관계의 질이 스마트폰 과의존에 영향을 미치는지 분석 하는데 목적이 있다. 연구대상은 J시 W고등학교에 재학 중인 여자 고등학생 53명이다. 대인관계의 질은 Korean ver. of Friendship Quality Questionnaire를 활용하여 조사하였다. 대인관계의 질은 21문항이며, 5점 척도로 점수가 높으면 높을수록 대인관계의 질이 높음을 의미한다. 스마트폰 과의존은 스마트폰 과의존 척도를 활용하여 조사하였다. 스마트폰 과의존은 10문항이며, 4점 척도로 점수가 높으면 스마트폰 과의존 수준이 높음을 의미한다. 그 결과, 대인관계의 질이 스마트폰 과의존에 부적 (-) 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 대인관계의 질이 높아질수록 스마트폰 과의존 수준이 저하된다고 설명할 수 있다. 이에 기초하여, 여자 고등학생들의 대인관계, 스마트폰 사용과 관련한 교육과 접근에 있어서 이러한 결과를 고려해야 할 것이며, 대인관계를 향상시킬 수 있는 접근이 필요할 것이다. 후속 연구들에서는 대상의 범위를 확대하여 다양한 대상군들과 비교 분석할 필요가 있으며, 스마트폰 과의존과 대인관계의 질의 관계에 있어서 영향을 미칠 수 있는 다양한 변수들을 고려한 심층 분석연구들이 수행되어야 할 것이다.
