Abstract

This study is an exploratory study to examine the relation between parents and children's smartphone usage time. The data from the 11th Korea Media Panel Survey conducted by the Korea Information Society Development Institute was used for empirical analysis. The findings revealed that parents' smartphone usage time and children's smartphone usage time are positively correlated, indicating that their smartphone use patterns share similarities as members of a family system. This study lays the foundation for future work to explain individual media use through family and media use environment.

이 연구는 부모의 스마트폰 이용과 자녀의 스마트폰 이용의 관계를 살펴보기 위한 탐색적 연구로, 부모와 자녀의 스마트폰 이용시간이 유의미한 상관관계에 있는지 확인하고자 했다. 이를 위하여 정보통신정책연구원의 '한국미디어패널조사' 11차년도 자료를 활용하여 실증적 분석을 실시했다. 연구 결과, 부모가 스마트폰을 오래 이용하는 경우 자녀 역시 스마트폰을 오래 이용하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 정적 상관관계는 스마트폰 전체 이용 시간과 게임 이용시간에서 확인할 수 있었다. 이와 같은 연구 결과는 부모와 자녀의 스마트폰 이용 양식이 가족 이라는 단일 체계 내 구성원으로서 유사성을 보이고 있음을 시사한다. 이 연구는 개인의 미디어 이용을 가족, 미디어 이용 환경을 통해 설명하기 위한 기초 자료를 제공한다.
