Abstract
This study was carried out to provide basic data for the promotion of the educational and social relations of adult learners and the effective way to use the smartphone. To accomplish this, we studied the influence of the degree of smartphone usage on the educational and social relations of college students in the area of Kyung-In and the mediator effect of smartphone addiction. According to this study, the research results were as follows: Firstly, the degree of smartphone usage did not directly affect family relationships, but highly affected smartphone addiction; smartphone addiction had both a negative effect on family relationships and a negative mediator effect between the degree of smartphone usage and family relationships. Secondly, smartphone addiction negatively affected the relationships with the opposite sex, whereas the degree of smartphone usage did not; however, there was a negative mediator effect between the time of using the smartphone and relations between the sexes. Thirdly, smartphone addiction negatively affected relationship with friends, whereas the degree of smartphone usage did not; there was no mediator effect between the time of using the smartphone and relationship with friends. Fourthly, smartphone addiction negatively affected the relationship with professors, whereas the degree of smartphone usage did not; there was no mediator effect between the time of using the smartphone and relationship with professors. The implications of these results are discussed.
