최근 스마트폰이 대중화 되면서 스마트폰을 사용하는 사용자의 계층이 다양화되고 있다. 그러나 스마트폰을 사용하는 사용자 계층 중 청소년이 다른 계층보다 스마트폰 게임에 쉽게 중독되어 다른 일상 생활이 힘든 상황이 발생하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 스마트폰 게임을 통해 일상 생활이 불가능한 청소년을 대상으로 게임 사용을 강제적으로 조절할 수 있는 인증 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안 프로토콜은 사용자의 게임 시간과 접속 횟수 등의 정보를 이용하여 게임 사용을 자제하도록 함으로써 사용자의 게임중독을 예방하는 것을 목표로 하고 있다. 또한, 청소년이 온라인 게임 상에 물품을 구입할 경우 청소년의 부모에게 게임 아이템구입 확인 메시지를 전달하여 게임 사용을 제한한다.

In the present study, practical measures were to be presented for prevention of smartphone game addiction and school violence by analysis of the effects aspect of the smartphone game addition by elementary school students on school violence awareness. For this purpose, a questionnaire survey was conducted for the subject of 6th graders attending an elementary school located in K city of Jeollanam-do, and a total of 258 copies were utilized as the final analysis data. Considering the analysis results, significant differences in the smartphone game addition were observed first as a function of the elementary school students' sex and game use time. The level of smartphone game addiction was observed to become higher for male students than female students, and the higher the longer the game use time during a day. Secondly, a positive (+) correlation was observed to exist between the smartphone game addiction and the school violence awareness. Thirdly, the variable affecting the school violence awareness among individual sub-variables for the smartphone game addiction was shown to be a problem with loss of control and power of reality test. The higher the addiction level of each variable, the negative tendency for school violence awareness was shown to be increased. Based on such analysis results, policy-wise, practical suggestions as well as directions for the follow-up studies have been presented for the improvement of smartphone game addiction and school violence awareness.

The subjects were 259 male and female adolescents enrolled in A region Province (134 male and 125 female students). The results are as follows. First, the relationship between loneliness and SNS poisoning tendency was positively correlated with loneliness and SNS poisoning tendency in males, whereas there was no significant correlation in females. In addition, the relationship between parental psychological control and smartphone game addiction was positively correlated with psychological control by parents and smartphone game addiction in female students, whereas there was no significant correlation in males. Second, the relationship between parents' psychological control and SNS addiction depending on the level of loneliness did not significantly change between both male and female middle-school students. Third, as a result of examining the relationship between parental psychological control and smartphone game addiction in male and female middle-school students according to degree of loneliness, only male students showed a moderating effect.

스마트폰의 출현이후 스마트폰 보급률이 급격하게 증가하여 2013년 7월, 3,600만 명의 이용자를 넘어섰다. 보급률이 증가하면서 어린이들의 스마트폰 사용이 증가하고, 스마트폰 중독이 심각한 문제가 되고 있다. 기존 연구로 나온 앱들은 스마트폰 사용 시간을 제한하여 스마트폰 중독을 예방하고 있다. 그러나 본 논문에서는 이러한 시간을 제어하는 것에 문제를 풀어 제한을 풀어주는 것을 추가하여 학습을 유도하는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 이 방법으로 어린이들의 스마트폰 게임 중독 예방과 학습유도를 통해 생활에 지장을 주는 것이 줄어 들 것으로 예상된다.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the EEG according to the elderly's tendency to be addicted to smartphone games. We compared the effects of smartphone addiction on mental health such as brain waves, sleep problems and depression through comparative analysis of asymmetry and connectivity in quantitative EEG results. The study participants were two elderly people who were addicted to smartphone game and one elderly person who did not use smartphone (Ed- to confirm: only 3 participants?!). The participant's addiction tendency of smartphone was measured by using the smartphone addiction scale and EEG (QEEG) was used for EEG analysis. The results are as follows. First, the brain waves of elderly people and smartphone non-user elderly who showed symptoms of immersion and smartphone game showed a difference in asymmetry in both opening and closing anisles. Second, there were significant differences in the openness and the anxiety of the elderly who were immersed in the mobile phone and the elderly who did not use the smartphone. Through this, it is also meaningful to explore the relationship between senile cognitive impairment and smartphone use by exploring the effect of smartphone game use on brain cognitive function through comparison of EEG analysis.

This study analyzed 817 articles published in Korean professional journals over the past three years, from 2020 to 2022, using text mining techniques to identify trends in addiction research in Korea and explore development directions. The analysis results are as follows. First, as a result of the analysis of the top keywords, online addiction studies such as smartphones, games, Internet, gambling, and relationship addiction were prominent as the top keywords. Second, as a result of TF-IDF analysis, many addiction studies related to behavioral addiction such as smartphones, games, the Internet, and work addiction have been conducted over the past three years, and in particular, there are many studies on addiction problems such as smartphones, games, and the Internet that have not yet been clinically diagnosed as addiction problems. This is the same as the result of word frequency analysis, and it can be interpreted that recent studies have been remarkably conducted on more diverse addiction problems. Third, the 2-gram analysis shows that words that mainly correspond to behavioral addiction, such as smartphones, games, and the Internet, appear side by side with the keyword addiction, and among them, words paired with smartphones are mentioned a lot in research papers and are being studied. Fourth, as a result of the CONCOR analysis, there were five clusters: a study on universal addiction issues such as alcohol use disorders and the Internet, a study of recovery on drug and gambling addiction, a study on mobile devices and media addiction, a study on the latest trends related to behavioral addiction, and other addiction issues. Finally, based on the results of this study, a direction for future addiction-related research was suggested.

This study purposed to analyse smartphone addiction characteristics of people with disabilities and suggested to establish related prevention policies for them. The analysis of 20-50 aged 494 disabled people resulted, that the smartphone addiction rate of the disabled people was 12.55%. Smartphone use-, mobile messenger-, SNS- and game time were nearly the same or higher than the potential and high risk group from the survey on internet overdependence 2015. In the question about the awareness of smartphone addiction they answered the smartphone addiction is severe in the society, and they are aware of smartphone addiction counseling center. But they will not get a service form the centers. That suggests, that the government should promote the policy of smartphone addiction for the disabled. It should provide institutional strategy and structural change for prevention of smartphone addiction for the disabled.

The purpose of the study is to verify whether literature therapy program for prevention of smartphone addiction is effective for adolescents. The subjects of this study were 150 students of J City, K middle school. After completing the program, they were conducted post-test for both the experimental and control groups. The study found that the program was effective in mitigating smartphone addiction but not in reducing the directed life problem. It was also found to be effective in reducing tolerance and loss of control and problems of withdrawal and emotional experience. The study suggests that institutional arrangements are needed for linking with related organizations in the region because it is difficult to effectively prevent the increasing problem of smartphone addiction unless an adolescents program for youth is linked to the school. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct parent education for prevention of smartphone addiction in computer curriculum of school subjects.
