Abstract

Despite the ever-increasing smartphone addiction of adolescents and a variety of consequent problems not much research has been conducted on the issue. It is time to prepare a set of countermeasures to protect them from the addiction. The central purpose of the current paper is to identify how use motives, self-control and social withdrawal affect their smartphone addiction. It was found (i) that the motives of information acquisition, social relationship, amusement and use of leisure time exert significant influence on smartphone addiction, (ii) that less self-control and greater impulsiveness result in greater addiction, and (iii) that social withdrawal of users also have significant effect on smartphone addiction. Such findings are expected to provide base data for any attempt to develop countermeasures against addiction. It is desirable that we had better check the play activities of adolescents and develop self-control programs to help them alleviate impulsiveness than simply impose strict restrictions on the use of smartphones.

청소년의 스마트폰 중독률이 증가하고 있고 이로 인한 많은 문제점이 발생하고 있음에도 불구하고 스마트폰 중독에 관한 연구는 아직 시작단계에 있어 스마트폰 중독예방을 위한 대책마련이 시급한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 스마트폰 이용자의 이용 동기와 자기통제력, 사회적 위축이 스마트폰 중독에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 확인하고자 하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 스마트폰 이용 동기 중 정보획득, 사회적 관계, 오락성, 여가시간활용 동기는 스마트폰 중독에 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 둘째, 자기통제 특성은 조절성이 떨어질수록, 또한 충동성이 강할수록 스마트폰 중독가능성이 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 셋째, 이용자들의 사회적 위축은 스마트폰 중독에 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 결과는 스마트폰 중독에 대한 예방 및 개선프로그램 개발에 기초자료를 제공할 것이라 사료되며, 청소년들의 스마트폰 사용의 강압적인 제지보다는 청소년들의 놀이 활동을 우선 점검하고, 스스로 조절하고 충동성을 완화시킬 수 있는 자기통제력 프로그램의 개발과 실시가 요구된다.
