Abstract

The purpose of this study is to clarify the factors that affects smartphone addiction of elementary school students. The subjects were 263 students, from 4 elementary schools located in G-city. Data were collected from July, 2014 and analyzed using SPSS 19.0 program. The prevalence of addiction risk group and non-addicted group were 16.0% and 84.0%, respectively. The variables which had statistically significant differences with smart phone addiction of general characteristics are grade, living together family, economic status, school record, motivation for usage, advantage of usage and using time (p<.05). There was pure correlation between the smartphone addiction and impulsivity (r=.496, p<.001), daily stress (r=.471, p<.001). However, perceived parental attitude (r=-.375, p<.001) and self-esteem (r=-.444, p<.001) were inverse correlation with smartphone addiction. Higher using time, higher impulsivity and higher daily stress were all associated with increased of smartphone addiction level. These results suggest that more attentions should be given to early adolescents and could be effectively used as fundamental data to develop intervention programs, which can prevent the smartphone addiction.

본 연구는 초등학생을 대상으로 스마트폰 중독에 미치는 영향요인을 규명하기 위한 서술적 조사 연구이다. 연구대상은 G광역시에 소재하는 4개 초등학교의 학생 263명이었다. 자료수집은 2014년 7월에 이루어졌으며, SPSS 19.0 program을 이용하여 분석하였다. 스마트폰 사용수준은 비중독군이 84.0%, 중독위험군은 16.0%로 나타났다. 일반적 특성 중 스마트폰 중독과 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 나타내는 특성은 학년, 동거가족, 경제적 수준, 성적, 사용동기, 사용시 좋은 점 및 사용시간이었다(p<.05). 스마트폰 중독은 충동성(r=.496, p<.001), 일상 스트레스(r=.471, p<.001)와 각각 양의 상관관계가 있었고, 부모의 양육태도(r=-.375, p<.001), 자아존중감(r=-.444, p<.001)과 각각 음의 상관관계가 있었다. 스마트폰 사용시간이 많을수록, 충동성이 높을수록, 일상 스트레스가 높을수록 대상자의 스마트폰 중독정도를 증가시켰다. 이러한 결과는 청소년 초기의 스마트폰 중독을 예방하는데 많은 관심을 기울여야 함을 시사하고 초기 청소년을 위한 스마트폰 중독 예방 프로그램을 개발하는데 기초자료로써 유용하게 활용될 것으로 사료된다.
