Abstract

With regard to recently emerged problems of smartphone addiction among adults and adolescents, this paper researched upper-grade elementary students depending on various demographic factors that have not been studied thoroughly so far. The survey was conducted on 1570 students in grades 4~6 of schools in Gyeonggi province. Results showed that, first, the average rate of smartphone ownership was about 66%. Second, about 1% of the students belonged to high-risk group, 5.7% to at-risk group, and normal user group was 93.3%. Third, based on the demographic factors, grade and academic achievements each was significantly correlated to the type of addiction group. For example, students with poor academic performance or in higher grade were more likely to be highly addictive. Fourth, both groups of at-risk and of normal-user pertaining to these factors - in urban areas, male students, sixth-grade, in dual income families - showed higher addictiveness score. But they were contrasted in the aspects of household economy and academic performance: at-risk group was more addictive in affluent families or excellent academic performance, whereas normal-user group had higher level of addictiveness in case of poor families or lower academic performance.

최근 증대한 성인 및 청소년의 스마트폰 중독 문제에 대해 본 연구에서는 기존에 다소 소홀히 다루어졌던 초등 고학년생들의 스마트폰 중독 실태를 다양한 인구통계학적 요소에 따라 조사하였다. 설문 조사는 경기도 소재 학교의 4~6학년생 1570명을 대상으로 실시되었고, 조사 결과, 첫째, 스마트폰 평균보유율은 약 66%이었다. 둘째, 약 1%의 학생들이 고위험 사용자군에 속하였고, 잠재위험군 5.7%, 일반 사용자군은 93.3%이었다. 셋째, 인구통계학적 요소에서 학년, 학업성적 각각과 중독 사용자군의 상관이 유의하였다. 즉, 부진한 성적일수록, 또는 학년이 오를수록 중독 가능성이 매우 높았다. 넷째, 잠재위험군과 일반군 학생들 모두 대도시, 남학생, 6학년, 맞벌이 부모의 경우에 더욱 중독 점수가 높았다. 반대로 가정경제와 학업성적 측면에서는 잠재위험군은 풍족한 가정과 우수한 성적인 경우 중독성이 더욱 높았으나, 일반군은 빈곤 기정, 부진한 성적인 경우에 더욱 높은 점수를 나타내었다.
