Abstract

This study tried to understand the mediating role of stress perception and the moderating role of mindfulness in the process of psychological alienation affecting college students' smartphone addiction tendency. Two hundred seventeen university students from Chungcheongnam-do answered the questionnaire. The research model was analyzed with model 7 of Hayes' PROCESS Macro 4.0. When synthesizing analysis results, feelings of alienation mediate stress responses or directly influence smartphone addiction tendencies. At this time, people with high levels of mindfulness tended to lower their smartphone addiction tendencies by alleviating their stress response compared to those with a low level of mindfulness. The implication of this study is that it revealed the psychological process that causes alienation to induce smartphone addiction tendency through stress responses, and that mindfulness plays a role in alleviating stress response and lowering smartphone addiction tendency. In the future, it is necessary to apply the model of this study to people diagnosed with smartphone addiction.

본 연구는 대학생들의 스마트폰 중독 경향성에 심리적 소외감이 영향을 미치는 과정에서 스트레스 지각의 매개 역할과 마음챙김의 조절 역할을 파악하고자 하였다. Hayes의 PROCESS Macro 4.0의 모델 7로 연구모형을 분석하였다. 충청남도의 대학생 217명이 질문지에 응답하였다. 분석결과를 종합할 때, 소외감은 스트레스 반응을 매개하여 또는 직접적으로 스마트폰 중독 경향성에 영향을 준다. 이때 마음챙김 수준이 높은 사람들은 스트레스 반응을 완화함으로써 스마트폰 중독 경향성을 낮추는 경향이 있었다. 본 연구의 시사점은 소외감이 스트레스 반응을 거쳐 스마트폰 중독 경향성을 유발하는 심리적 과정을 밝혔다는 점과, 마음챙김이 스트레스 반응 완화와 스마트폰 중독 경향성을 낮출 수 있는 역할을 한다는 점을 밝혔다는 점이다. 향후 스마트폰 중독 진단을 받은 사람들을 대상으로 본 연구의 모형을 적용해 볼 필요가 있다.
