Abstract

This study analyzed domestic research trends related to the behavior of problems with using smart devices in infants, focusing on addiction tendency. The main results of research trends are as follows: First, the total number of papers published per year is 79, and addiction proneness studies were published in various academic journals, while researchers' major was mostly concentrated in the department of education and social welfare. Second, there were 81 research topics, including actual conditions, scale development, related variables, interventions, and causal relationships. The proportion of research subjects was the highest with 60 (74.1%) research subjects, which are related variables. Third, the subjects of the study were divided into infants, caregivers, and teachers, and the main subjects of the study were mothers. Fourth, the research trends by research method were 73 quantitative studies (92.4%), 2 qualitative studies, 1 literature study, 2 mixed studies, and 1 other study. Fifth, the results of the analysis of influential factors were classified as risk factors and protection factors, which were specifically classified as individual factors, household factors, and social and environmental factors. Based on the study results, further discussion and practical suggestions were added.

본 연구는 중독경향성을 중심으로 유아의 스마트기기 사용 문제행동과 관련된 국내연구 동향을 분석하였다. 연구동향 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 연도별 발행 논문 수는 총 79편이고, 다양한 학술지에 중독경향성 연구물이 게재된 데 비해 연구자의 전공은 교육과 복지계열 학과에 편중되었다. 둘째, 연구주제는 총 81개로, 실태(현황), 척도개발, 관련변인, 개입, 인과관계였다. 연구주제 비중은 관련변인 연구주제가 60편(74.1%)으로 가장 많았다. 셋째, 연구대상은 유아, 양육자, 교사로 구분되었고, 양육자 대상의 주된 연구대상은 어머니였다. 넷째, 연구방법은 양적연구가 73편(92.4%), 질적연구 2편, 문헌연구 1편, 혼합연구 2편, 기타 1편이었다. 다섯째, 영향요인 분석결과는 위험요인과 보호 요인으로 분류되고, 이는 구체적으로 개인요인, 가정요인, 사회·환경요인으로 구분되었다. 이를 바탕으로 논의와 실천적 제언을 덧붙였다.
