The present study aimed to examine the mediation effect of identity development between perceived parental academic achievement pressure (PPAAP) and mental health. Specifically, we examined whether the relation between PPAAP and mental health is mediated by the positive or negative aspects of identity development. Participants were 110 Korean college students. They completed online self-report questionnaires that included PPAAP, identity development, personal well-being, and depression. We found that PPAAP was negatively related to personal well-being and positively related to depression. Moreover, the relation between PPAAP and mental health was mediated only by the negative aspects of identity development. In other words, PPAAP was related to the negative aspects of identity development, which, in turn, was negatively associated with mental health. This study contributes to the literature in that it proposed identity development as a mediator between PPAAP and mental health and found that the negative, not positive, aspects of identity development mediated the relation. We suggest that institutional interventions that help develop identity can be an effective way to mitigate the negative impacts of PPAAP on mental health of children living in the highly competitive Korean society. Limitations and future research directions are also discussed.

최근 스마트폰의 과다 사용과 관련한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 스마트폰 디톡스라는 새로운 개입방법이 소개되고 있다. 스마트폰 디톡스는 마치 단식을 통해 몸에 있는 독소와 노페물을 제거하듯이 스마트폰 사용을 잠시라도 중단하고 내면의 모습을 돌아봄으로써 스마트폰을 건강하게 활용하여 신체적 정신적 사회적 건강을 실천하자는 취지이다. 이러한 흐름에 발을 맞추어 본 연구에서는 대학생들의 과다한 스마트 폰 사용을 개선하고 전인적인 건강(well-being)을 실천하기 위하여 "스마트폰 디톡스 프로그램"을 개발하고 그 효과를 확인하였다. 서울의 S대학교 16명의 대학생이 전체 프로그램을 완료하였으며, 각 회기별 자기평가보고서와 사전-사후 설문조사(스마트폰 중독척도 정신건강척도 긍정심리자본척도 자기생활관리척도)를 완성하였다. SPSS 23을 이용하여, 사전검사와 사후검사에서 변수 간의 차이를 확인하기 위해 Wilcoxon 부호순위검정을 시행하고, 각 척도들 사이의 관계는 피어슨 상관분석을 이루어졌다. 그리고 자기평가보고서는 각 회기 참여에 대한 질적 자료로 분석되었다. 그 결과, 개입 프로그램을 통해 스마트 폰 중독 및 정신 건강 점수가 유의미하게 감소하였으며, 자기 관리 및 긍정심리자본의 평균 점수가 증가하였다. 더불어 프로그램이 진행되는 동안이라도 스마트폰 사용을 중단하고 건강한 신체, 긍정적인 정신, 역동적인 대인관계를 경험하면서 스마트폰을 지혜롭게 사용하고 주변을 여유롭게 돌아보는 변화가 생겼으며, 대학생들의 생활에서 스마트폰을 건강하게 사용할 수 있는 모습이 확인되었다.
