초록

본 연구의 목적은 대학생의 성인 불안정애착과 스마트폰중독의 관계에서 자아존중감의 매개효과를 검증하는데 있다. 본 연구에서는 서울을 포함한 4개 지역의 대학에 재학 중인 학부생들을 대상으로 2016년 3월부터 4월까지 애착유형, 스마트 폰 중독, 자아존중감 척도를 통해 설문조사를 실시하였다. 남녀 대학생 230명의 자료를 바탕으로 분석을 실시한 결과, 성인 불안정애착 중 애착불안은 스마트폰중독과 유의한 정적 상관을 그리고 자아존중감과는 유의한 부적 상관을 보였다. 애착회피는 자아존중감과만 유의한 부적 상관관계를 나타냈다. 자아존중감이 애착불안과 스마트폰중독 간의 관계를 매개하는 구조모형을 검증했을 때, 부분매개효과가 나타났다. 본 연구결과는 청년기 성인들을 대상으로 한 스마트폰 중독의 예방/치료에 적용될 수 있다.

The present study examined the mediating effects of self-esteem on the relationships between adult attachment and smartphone addiction. Participants were recruited from universities in a number of cities in Korea and they were given the survey including instruments that measured adult attachment, self-esteem, and smartphone addiction. Total 230 participants' data were analyzed and the results indicated anxious attachment was significantly positively correlated with smartphone addiction but negatively associated with self-esteem. Avoidant attachment was only negatively associated with self-esteem. Furthermore, self-esteem partially mediated the relationship between anxious attachment and smartphone addiction. Current findings can contribute to the development of the effective prevention/intervention programs of smart phone addiction for a young adults.
