Abstract

This study examined the effects of mothers' smartphone usage habits on young children's aggression and emotional intelligence. For this purpose, a total of 275 questionnaires from mothers in Jeonbuk Province with 3~5 year old young children, who had experiences in using smartphones, were analyzed, and the results are as follows. First, an analysis of the general trend of mother's smartphone usage habits showed that young children's aggression and emotional intelligence according to the general trend of mother's smartphone usage habits had a generally low rate and 'the tolerance and flow' had a high score among its sub-factors. The general trend of young children's aggression also showed a generally low rate, and 'status acquired aggression' had a high score among its sub-factors. The general trend of young children's emotional intelligence showed a moderate level, and a high score was observed in 'mother relation' among its sub-factors. Second, an analysis of the relationship between mother's smartphone usage habits, and young children's aggression and emotional intelligence showed that mother's smartphone usage habits had a positive correlation with the young children's aggression while it did not correlate with the young children's emotional intelligence. On the other hand, a negative correlation was observed between the virtual world orientation among the sub-factors of smartphone usage habits and the self-emotion awareness and expression among the sub-factors of emotional intelligence. Third, an analysis of the effects of mother's smartphone usage habits on children's aggression showed that all of mother's smartphone usage habits and its sub-factors had a negative effect on children's aggression. Fourth, an analysis of the effects of mother's smartphone usage habits on young children's emotional intelligence showed that none of mother's smartphone usage habits or its sub-factors had a significant effect.

본 연구는 어머니의 스마트폰 사용습관이 유아의 공격성과 정서지능에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해, 전북 소재, 만 3~5세 유아가 스마트폰 사용 경험이 있는 어머니 총 275부의 설문 자료를 활용하였으며, 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 어머니의 스마트폰 사용습관과 유아의 공격성 및 정서지능의 일반적 경향을 분석한 결과, 어머니의 스마트폰 사용습관의 일반적 경향은 전반적으로 낮은 비율을 보였으며, 하위요인별로는 '내성 및 몰입'이 가장 높은 수치를 나타내었다. 유아 공격성의 일반적 경향에서는 전반적으로 낮은 비율을 보였고, 하위요인별로는 '지위획득 공격성'이 높은 수치를 나타내었다. 유아 정서지능의 일반적 경향에서는 대체로 보통수준의 비율을 나타내었으며, 하위요인별로는 '어머니와의 관계'가 가장 높은 수치를 보였다. 둘째, 어머니의 스마트폰 사용습관과 유아의 공격성 및 정서지능과의 관계를 분석한 결과, 어머니의 스마트폰 사용습관과 유아 공격성은 정적상관관계가 있었으며, 유아 정서지능과는 상관관계가 나타나지 않았다. 그러나 스마트폰 사용습관 하위요인 중 가상세계지향과 정서지능 하위요인 중 자기정서 인식 및 표현은 부적상관관계를 보였다. 셋째, 어머니의 스마트폰 사용습관이 유아의 공격성에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과, 어머니의 스마트폰 사용습관 및 하위요인 모두에서 유아의 공격성에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 어머니의 스마트폰 사용습관이 유아의 정서지능에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과, 어머니의 스마트폰 사용습관 및 하위요인 모두에서 유아의 정서지능에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다.
