Abstract
This Research was conducted to understand the effect of freshman college students' addiction to smartphone on Depression, with self-efficacy and self-esteem as the parameters. The subjects of this study were 218 freshman students attending two college in G-city. Data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 24.0 and AMOS 21.0 programs. As a result of this study, the subjects' smartphone addiction showed a positive correlation with depression. Self-efficacy and self-esteem showed negative correlation with smartphone addiction. Self-efficacy was the most influential factor in smartphone addiction. Depression was a factor affecting the addiction of smartphone through self-efficacy and self-esteem. It is necessary to support the students who are depressed by the depression test to improve the self-efficacy and self-esteem. Also, it is necessary to prepare a program to improve self-efficacy and self-esteem in the prevention and intervention of smartphone addiction because the possibility of addiction to smartphone is relatively high because freshmen of professional college have low self-efficacy and self-esteem based on the research results.
