Abstract
This convergence research was conducted to understand the effect of university students' addiction to smartphones on self-esteem and self-efficacy, with stress level and mental health as the parameters. The subjects were students from three universities located in J province, and 303 questionnaires were used as the data for analysis. The data were analyzed with Pearson's correlation, multiple regression and pathway analysis by SPSS and AMOS. As a result, addiction to smartphones showed negative (-) correlation with self-esteem, self-efficacy, and mental health, while showing positive (+) correlation with stress level. In addition, the addiction to smartphones has an influence on self-esteem and self-efficacy with stress level and mental health as the parameters. Therefore, in order to improve the self-esteem and self-efficacy of university students, programs should be developed to prevent and manage addiction to smartphones, relieve stress and promote mental health.
