Abstract

Objective : This study investigated the mediating effect of social networks on the relationship between social networking service (SNS) dependence and healthy lifestyle among university students. Methods : Data from 374 university students were collected via online surveys. Sociodemographic data, SNS dependence, social networks, and healthy lifestyle were assessed. Mediation analysis using bootstrapping was conducted to examine the mediating effect of social networks on the relationship between SNS dependence and healthy lifestyle. Results : A total of 374 university students participated in this study. The average age of the participants was 21.8 years (standard deviation = 2.1), and 70.3% were females. Mediation analysis revealed that SNS dependence had a direct effect on healthy lifestyle (β = -.078, standard error [SE] = .052, p = .128), which was not statistically significant. However, a statistically significant indirect effect was observed through social networks (β = -.052, SE = .020, p = .011). The total effect of SNS dependence on a healthy lifestyle was significant (β = -.130, SE = .053, p = .014). Conclusion : Social networks play a critical role in promoting a healthy lifestyle. Health professionals should prioritize interventions to address SNS dependence and leverage social networks to encourage healthier behaviors.

목적 : 본 연구는 대학생의 소셜 네트워킹 서비스(Social Network Service: SNS) 의존도와 건강한 라이프스타일 간의 관계에서 사회적 관계망의 매개효과를 조사하였다. 연구방법 : 374명의 대학생을 대상으로 온라인 설문조사를 통해 자료를 수집하였다. 인구통계학적 데이터, SNS 의존도, 사회적 관계망, 건강한 라이프스타일을 평가하였다. 부트스트래핑을 사용한 매개분석을 통해 SNS 의존도와 건강한 라이프스타일 간의 관계에서 사회적 관계망의 매개효과를 조사하였다. 결과 : 대상자의 평균 연령은 21.8세(standard deviation = 2.1)였으며, 70.3%가 여성이었다. 매개분석 결과, SNS 의존도의 건강한 라이프스타일에 대한 직접 효과는 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다(β = -.078, standard error [SE] = .052, p = .128). 그러나, 사회적 관계망을 통한 간접 효과는 통계적으로 유의한 것으로 나타났다(β = -.052, SE = .020, p = .011). SNS 의존도가 건강한 라이프스타일에 미치는 총 효과는 유의미했다(β = -.130, SE = .053, p = .014). 결론 : 대학생의 사회적 관계망은 건강한 라이프스타일을 촉진하는 데 중요한 역할을 한다. 건강 전문가들은 SNS 의존을 해결하고 사회적 관계망을 활용하여 더 건강한 행동을 장려하는 개입에 중점을 두어야 한다.
