Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the influencing factors on smartphone overdependence by examining the relationships between smartphone overdependence, self-determination, depression, self-esteem, and impulsivity in male and female college students. The self-reported questionnaires were administered to 263 students from two colleges. As results of multiple regression analysis, the factors affecting smartphone overdependence in male students were the perception of smartphone importance (${\beta}=.411$, p<.001), impulsivity (${\beta}=.204$, p=.007), and depression (${\beta}=.200$, p=.040). In female students, influencing factors were the perception of smartphone importance (${\beta}=.630$, p<.001) and impulsivity (${\beta}=.185$, p=.010). Based on the findings, a tailored smartphone overdependence prevention program is needed by controlling impulsivity and changing distorted perceptions of smartphone.

본 연구의 목적은 남녀 대학생의 자기결정성, 우울, 자아존중감, 충동성, 스마트폰 과의존간의 관계를 탐색함으로써 이들 요인이 대학생의 스마트폰 과의존에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위함이다. 2개 대학교에 재학중인 남녀 대학생 263명을 대상으로 자가보고형 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과 남학생의 스마트폰 과의존에 영향을 미치는 요인은 스마트폰의 중요성에 대한 인식(${\beta}=.411$, p<.001), 충동성(${\beta}=.204$, p=.007)과 우울(${\beta}=.200$, p=.040)인 것으로 나타났다. 여학생의 스마트폰과의존에 영향을 미치는 요인은 스마트폰의 중요성에 대한 인식(${\beta}=.630$, p<.001)과 충동성(${\beta}=.185$, p=.010) 이었다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 남녀 대학생의 충동성 조절 및 스마트폰에 대한 왜곡된 인식 변화를 통해서 남녀 대학생의 스마트폰 과의존을 예방하기 위한 맞춤형 프로그램 개발이 필요하다.
