Abstract

The purposes of this study are (1) to examine the relationships among attitude on SNS use, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and SNS use, (2) to analyze effect of SNS use on bonding network and bridging network, (3) to consider moderating effect of the gender on the relationship between SNS use and Social network. We conducted a survey for 20-30's SNS user. The results of analysis using the Structural Equation Model(SEM) represent that attitude on SNS use, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control are significant determinants of the SNS use. SNS use affects bonding network and bridging network. An interesting result was observed that the gender had moderating effect on the relationship between SNS use and social network. Based on these results, we suggest theoretical and practical implications of this study.

본 연구에서는 계획된 행동이론을 적용하여 SNS 이용에 대한 태도, 주관적 규범, 지각된 행동통제가 SNS 이용에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 분석하고, SNS 이용이 결속적 네트워크와 교량적 네트워크라는 사회적 네트워크 유형에 각각 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 분석하고자 하였다. 이들 간의 관계에서 성별에 따른 조절효과를 검증하였다. 이를 위해 SNS의 주 이용계층인 20~30대 이용자들을 대상으로 한 설문조사를 토대로 실증분석을 실시였다. 구조방정식에 의한 가설검증 결과, SNS 이용에 대한 태도와 주관적 규범, 그리고 지각된 행동통제는 SNS 이용에 각각 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 SNS 이용은 결속적 네트워크, 교량적 네트워크에 각각 유의미한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 성별에 따른 조절효과를 분석한 결과, SNS 이용 영향요인과 SNS 이용 간에는 성별에 따른 유의한 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났지만, SNS 이용과 사회적 네트워크 유형 간에는 성별에 따른 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 이러한 분석결과를 토대로 본 연구에서는 SNS 이용과 사회적 네트워크에 관한 이론적 실천적 함의를 제시하였다.
