본 연구의 목적은 대학생들의 성인 애착 불안과 스마트폰중독의 관계에서 지각된 스트레스의 매개효과를 검증하는데 있다. 본 연구에서는 연구 변인들 사이의 관계를 검증하기 위하여 대학교 재학생 272명(남학생 132명, 여학생 139명)의 수집된 자료를 SPSS와 AMOS 프로그램을 사용하여 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 애착 불안과 스마트폰중독의 관계에서 지각된 스트레스는 부분매개효과를 나타내는 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 연구결과는 애착 불안이 스트레스의 지각과정을 통해 스마트폰중독을 야기하는 것을 의미한다. 본 연구결과는 성인초기에 해당하는 대학생의 스마트폰중독의 위험요인에 대해서 살펴봄으로써 대학생의 정신건강의 이해를 돕는데 그 의의가 있다. 이러한 연구결과는 대학생의 스마트폰중독 예방과 치료에 도움을 제공하여 대학생의 정신건강 증진을 도울 수 있을 것이다.
