Abstract

The purpose of the current study was to examine dual mediation effect of executive function deficiencies and adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies in the relation of smartphone addiction and subjective well-being and to suggest implications for adult smartphone addiction intervention programs. A self-report survey was conducted to 148 adults(71 males and 77 females) and the mediation effect was evaluated by regression analyses. Key findings are as follows. First, executive function deficiencies showed mediation effect on the relationship between smartphone addiction and adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies. Second, significant mediation effect of adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies was not found on the relationship between smartphone addiction and subjective well-being. Finally, the relation of smarphone addiction and subjective well-being was mediated by executive function deficiencies and adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies. These results imply that it would be helpful to train executive function and foster emotion regulation strategies to the adult smartphone addiction groups. Finally, limitations of this study and suggestions for future research of the entire adult age group were discussed.

본 연구의 목적은 성인의 스마트폰 중독이 주관적 안녕감에 영향을 미치는 과정에서 실행기능 결함과 적응적 인지적 정서조절전략의 이중매개효과를 검증하고, 성인 스마트폰 중독 치료에 대한 시사점을 파악하는 것이었다. 성인 148명(남성 71명, 여성 77명)을 대상으로 자기보고식 설문을 실시하고 회귀분석을 통해 매개효과를 검증하였다. 핵심연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 스마트폰 중독과 적응적 인지적 정서조절전략 간의 관계에서 실행기능 결함은 매개역할을 했다. 둘째, 스마트폰 중독과 주관적 안녕감 간의 관계에서 적응적 인지적 정서조절전략의 매개효과는 유의미하지 않았다. 셋째, 스마트폰 중독과 주관적 안녕감 간의 관계에서 실행기능 결함과 적응적 인지적 정서조절전략은 이중매개 및 완전매개 효과를 나타냈다. 본 연구결과는 성인 스마트폰 중독군의 치료적 개입에 있어 실행기능 훈련과 적절한 인지적 정서조절전략의 함양이 도움이 될 수 있음을 시사하였다. 마지막으로 본 연구의 제한점과 전체 성인 연령층을 대상으로 한 향후연구의 필요성이 논의되었다.
