Abstract

Smartphone use has become a part of everyday life, not only for adolescents but also for elderly and older people. Thus, this study explored the effect of demographic variables, the amount of smartphone usage, type of smartphone use and psychosocial variables on smartphone dependence of the elder group. We analyzed the data of 5627 (50s and 60s) of the Internet overdependence survey data of the Korea Information Society Agency in 2016. As a result of hierarchical multiple regression analysis, More frequency of smartphone use of weekday and weekend, and usage time of smartphone of weekday were related to greater smartphone dependence. More smartphone use for information seeking and games were associated with greater smartphone dependence. And, as loneliness and anxiety increased, smartphone dependence increased, while smartphone dependence decreased, as social capital increased. Through this study, it is necessary to understand characteristics related to smartphone dependence of elder and older group, and to use this knowledge to solve their smartphone dependence. Future studies also need to identify the causal relationship between predictors of smartphone dependence in elderly and older people.

스마트폰의 사용은 청소년뿐만 아니라 장, 노년층에서도 일상의 한 부분이 되고 있는 것에 비해 이들을 대상으로 한 스마트폰 과의존 관련 연구는 찾아보기 어렵다. 따라서, 본 연구는 전국의 장 노년층을 대상으로 스마트폰 과의존과 관련된 변인들을 탐색하기 위해 인구사회학적 변인, 스마트폰 사용 양, 스마트폰 사용 유형과 심리 정서적 변인이 장 노년층의 스마트폰 과의존에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서는 한국정보화진흥원의 2016년 인터넷 과의존 실태조사 자료 중 50대와 60대에 해당하는 5627명의 자료를 분석하였다. 위계적 다중회귀분석 결과, 스마트폰 주중사용횟수, 주말 사용횟수, 주중사용시간이 많을수록 그리고 정보추구와 게임을 위한 스마트폰 사용이 증가할수록 스마트폰 과의존이 높았다. 반면, 오락추구와 커뮤니케이션 유형은 스마트폰 과의존에 영향을 미치지 못했다. 또한, 외로움과 불안이 증가할수록 스마트폰 과의존이 증가한 반면, 사회적 자본이 클수록 스마트폰 과의존이 낮았다. 본 연구를 통해 장, 노년층의 스마트폰 과의존과 관련된 특성들을 이해하고, 이러한 지식을 장, 노년층의 스마트폰 과의존 문제를 해결하는데 활용할 필요가 있다. 향후 연구에서는 장, 노년층의 스마트폰 과의존에 영향을 미치는 예측변인들 간의 인과관계에 대한 가설검증도 필요해 보인다.
