Abstract

The study aimed to examine the mediating effect of ego resiliency and smartphone dependence in the relationship between children's attachment to mother and happiness. For the purpose, 1,143 research subjects were selected from the 12th data of the Korean Children's Panel surveyed by the Korea Institute of Child Care and Education. As for the analysis methods, frequency analysis, descriptive statistics analysis, and correlation analysis were executed, while the mediating effect was analyzed by applying Process Macro Model Number 4 analysis. The indirect effect of ego resiliency and smartphone dependence were verified by using boot-strapping. The findings are as follows. First, children's attachment to mother was found to increase their happiness. Second, ego-resilience was shown to play a partial mediating role in the relationship between children's attachment to mother and happiness. Third, the effect of children's attachment to mother on happiness was partially mediated by smartphone dependence. Based on the results, the study suggested the various practical programs to improve children's happiness.

본 연구의 목적은 아동의 모 애착과 행복감 간의 관계에서 자아탄력성과 스마트폰 의존도의 매개효과를 검증하는 것이다. 이를 위해 육아정책연구소(Korea Institute of Child Care and Education)에서 조사한 한국 아동패널 12차 데이터를 활용하였고, 그 중 1,143명을 연구대상자로 선정했다. 분석 방법은 빈도분석, 기술통계분석, 상관분석을 실시하였고, Process Macro Model Number 4 분석을 활용하여 매개효과를 분석하였다. 스마트폰 의존도와 자아탄력성의 간접효과는 부트스트래핑(Bootstrapping)를 적용하여 검증하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 모 애착은 아동의 행복감을 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 아동의 모 애착과 행복감 간의 관계에서 자아탄력성의 부분 매개효과를 확인했다. 셋째, 아동의 모 애착이 행복감에 미치는 영향에서 스마트폰 의존도는 부분 매개효과를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 아동의 행복감을 증진시킬 수 있는 다양한 실천적 과제들을 제시했다.
